Ratings and reviews
Katie was an amazing pet sitter for Gracie, our four-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd. She kept in touch with us about how Gracie was doing and even sent pictures with her taking Gracie on a walk at the beach! I will definitely call on Katie again next time we are in town. Thank you, Katie!
Ginger was very happy when we picked her up! Katie took great care of her ❤️
Katie is an excellent dog boarder/sitter! She’s a great communicator and was flexible by accommodating us with an earlier drop of time. She took such good care of my senior dog, Dogboy, for three days and two nights. I could tell he was happy and content in her care by all of the pictures and videos she sent. Then when I came to pick him, up he even didn’t want to leave! I would highly recommend Katie to any pet parents looking for boarding or a sitter.
Katie was wonderful. Our dog was clearly well cared for.
Katie was great! Quick & friendly communication, easy scheduling and my doggo came home tired & happy. He even ate his meals, which he usually skips when he's off his routine, so that tells me he felt comfortable and safe with her.
We felt so safe leaving our dog Finn with Katie. He seemed like he had a great time! We would definitely book her again for next time we are in SLO and need someone to take care of him for a day!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Every dog is treated like my own. On walks I typically prefer a leash policy unless I know the dog very well, and will ask owner in advance about dog’s behavior at the beach or on rural hikes.
Pets
A typical day
Hikes on the trails, walks at the beach, rural SLO: Avila, Pismo, Shell Beach, Morro Bay, Johnson Ranch, South Hills, Vulture Peak and Madonna Inn. Some dogs just want to laze around in my fully fenced yard.

- Tell me about any health issues or physical limitations. This helps me plan the walks and the downtime more efficiently. Any behavioral issues, we all have them! Any weaknesses with house training, it’s better if I’m aware in advance so please let me know. Any training methods currently being practiced, it’s good to be consistent.
