A caring UF Veterinary student!

Pet care experience

I'm a 4th year UF veterinary student who has spent her life learning about the care of animals (we get a lot of snuggles in there too!). I treat my own rescue pup like a king-and you can expect the same treatment for your pet! I currently have a very light classload (only have class from 8-10 am everyday) , so we will have a lot of time for walks and play! I have extensive experience with medication administration, behavior modification (positive/reward based training), and senior or special needs dogs. You can trust that your dog will be in great hands! Picture/video updates are included (don't worry, I'll make sure its your pet's "good side"). Bath time, nail trimming, and ear cleaning can be included in your dogs stay as well! Hill's Science Diet grain free treats are provided for training and treat time. I believe it is important that dogs receive plenty of exercise to keep them physically and mentally healthy! Short or long walks can be provided and customized to your dogs needs. I also own many enrichment toys (like Kongs, and other puzzles) to keep your dog mentally stimulated and sharp! If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me and I will get back to you ASAP! Thank you for your consideration.

Katie was available last minute to walk my dogs when I had two cancelations. She was great! Katie was very responsive and she kept me very informed when she was taking care of my pups. I would definitely book her again to walk my dogs!!

Katie gets our vote for Best Pet Sitter Ever!!! She went out of her way to help us with a last minute visit for our 1.5 yr old Morkie Ace. We received an arrival text msg along with a great departure photo & note, which was such a kind, caring gesture. Ace seemed very content when we arrived back home, thanks to wonderful, Ms. Katie! She Is well-qualified and very professional... you will love her❤️

Katie was great with our dogs. She took great care of them. She updated us on their daily activities. She sent cute pictures of our dogs hanging with her and Trooper. We were very appreciative of her care and love for our guys. Thank you!!

I highly recommend Katie. Not only is she a Veterinary student (so she's very smart) but she is kind and loves your animal like it is her own. She was able to come over on short notice when we were going to be gone all day and Edley was battling a stomach bug. She updated us with pictures of their walk and made sure he was taken care of until we got home. 5 stars. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet

I love any and all breeds! I've had so many fosters: chihuahuas, pit bulls, hound dogs, and cattle dogs. I would like to know if your dog has any allergies, needs any medications, or needs any sort of special care.

A typical day

Able to take dogs on long walks on the Hawthorne trail. If your dog is well behaved we can take trips to get doggy ice cream at petsmart.
