Athletic dog lover in NOVA

Pet care experience

I grew up with a golden retriever, spent years riding horses on farms with numerous animals, was a pet sitter for my neighbors, and have volunteered at the Fairfax Humane Society. Niw I own a German Shepherd who was originally a foster - we fell in love! So I've been vetted to foster/adopt by a German Shepherd rescue (reference checks, home visist, application). I currently love to be active and workout every day, and would love to add your dog to my walks/runs/workouts. I have experience with all sorts of animals and breeds, have administered medication, coaxed picky eaters, and have patience with those still working on house training. My specialty is exercise and training. Your dog will get plenty of sunshine, fresh air, and a good workout while working on all their manners. I am patient and fun, but also can’t be pushed around by big dog or rambunctious pups.

Katie took great care of my bunny!! Katie has restored our faith in pet sitters after having multiple sitters prior that really let us down. She was always on time and provided great updates with pictures. She followed all of the bun instructions to a tee and kept Bun healthy, safe, and happy while we were away! I definitely recommend her!

Katie was fabulous! She was communicative and flexible when we needed to change our drop-off date. She took Trixie for some nice long walks. When we picked Trixie up, she seemed very happy! Thank you Katie!

Katie was awesome. Super easygoing about everything but also very mindful about sending us updates and helping us feel at ease with a new sitter for Frank. Highly recommend.

Katie took good care of our Frenchie, Stella while we were away. She was good about communicating and would send a picture daily. Stella came home happy and healthy...expectations met!

Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet

The more details the better! Schedule, preferences, how much exercise, treats they can have/like, and activities or situations to avoid. I love all dogs, but I have a special place in my heart for big dogs. And if you have a rambunctious big pup, I can’t be pushed around!

A typical day

An avid runner, I know all the local parks, paths, dog parks and routes. I love to play fetch and tug with dogs, and love to provide lots of love. I will also help further your pet’s training, so they come back to you just as well mannered, or better than when they left!
