Pet care experience

Dog lover of SouthBay pooches 🦮

Hi! I'm a dog lover of all sizes. I'll run with your dog, teach them tricks (taught our former dog how to use the clicker and various commands), throw the ball with them, take them on walks and feed them. I'm located in PV by the PV reservoir so I'm always out and about in the neighborhood on runs, etc. I grew up with a Scottish Terrier and have watched German Shepherds, Cattle Dogs, Dashunds, Shiba Inu’s and other Terrier breeds. I've got many books on how to deal with various dog behaviors and it's taught me a lot over the years. Would love to help during the week or if you need someone to assist on the weekends too, that can be arranged. Hope to meet your pooch soon!

I have a fenced yard and can take care of your pooch inside or outside. If your dog likes to run, I love running with em.

This was the first time I used Katie and I was very pleased. I asked if she could stop by before I left to meet the dogs, and she did so without hesitation. She was timely and followed what I asked her to do. You can count on her to be there for your pups and would definitely recommend her.

Katie is the most fun and cheerful human being I've befriended lately. Her playful character and love of nature is so natural and inviting. Dogs love her, kids love her, birds love her and I wished to live literally next to her.

I'm a fur-mom to the lovely 3 y/o Disco Doggie and having Katie to call for walks or watching is tail-wagging, peace of mind :) Katie has been a close friend for over a decade and I can attest to the fact that she is an exceptionally awesome human! Katie is fun, active, kind, and incredibly responsible - she will treat your fur-baby with lots of love!

I don't know who has more energy - Katie, or my dog. Katie goes above and beyond - she can walk, run, sprint, and even continue the training that I do at home. Running my dog a few miles with my pup was not a problem for her... and as we know... tired dog = happy dog. She's great.

Schedule

I’ll be able to balance time as I’m at home most days of the week. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can typically make it work.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Katie can host up to 1 drop-in per day
Let me know if you have specific training regimen that you’re following. I’ve done clicker training with my dog. I also need to know if your dog can socialize with other dogs when we walk.
