Availability
I live in an apartment building on a quiet block near a park and I am central to many parts of the city. I have a car for emergencies and also am very close to the El and bus lines. I mostly do this for fun and supplemental income on my free time so I am flexible on cost and cancellation!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and happiness are paramount. I know being separated from your furry friend can be hard on everyone, but I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for all! I treat all animals like they are my children so please expect to get lots of photo updates. :) I have experience working with babies up to senior pets. I have also previously provided care to disabled dogs (blind) and pets with high medical needs including anxiety, reactivity, epilepsy and diabetes (insulin shots).

A typical day
I want to make sure I am not disrupting your pet’s schedule and routine, so please share any insight! Otherwise we will just need to explore, take in all the smells, do soo much playing, and maybe have a treat or two if the pawrents say it’s ok. :)

Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Katie. I work from home full time in marketing at a healthcare company and I’m really passionate about dogs. :) My pet care journey began when I adopted my own dog, a beagle-dachshund named Bentley. Since then, I have begun a journey of dog behavior study, training, and dog safety advocacy. I have a background in dog walking and in-home boarding for private clients and previous experience working at a dog daycare and pet boarding facility here in Chicago.

Reviews
Katie is what you need in a sitter! She is awesome. Texting and photos she’s able to handle anything. She even got my dog to come out and say hi. Which is amazing.
Katie was absolutely wonderful. She kept me up to date. If she had any questions she asked which was awesome. I am using her again this week. Highly recommend!
Katie was great! She took great care of our pup and clearly has a love for animals. Additionally, she was a great communicator that provided multiple updates, she was punctual, and made sure to ask lots of questions. I would 100% recommend her services and will do so in the future myself.
Katie is fantastic! She responded quickly to my initial request, was flexible, reliable and personable. I could tell by the way she talked about her dog, and how she responded to my girls, that she is very comfortable with dogs. My senior pup was even tired from playing with her, which was great. Would highly recommend!
