dog mom looking to help others
Pet care experience
I couldn't imagine my life without animals. My mom bred labs when I was a kid and I have always lived in a house with dogs. I worked in a vet for a while I was in high school where I walked, fed, cleaned up after, and provided medications to dogs visiting or boarding. I have also been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends for years. I’m always available by phone. I am also more than willing to send pictures or texts to pet parents that would like them.
Reviews
Katie is amazing! She sat our 3 month old husky puppy and took great care of him. Katie played with him, took him out for potty breaks, kept an eye on him while he was napping and ensured that it was a positive experience overall. Katie also provided frequent updates and sent pictures.
Kate has been dog sitting our corgis for years! Our dogs love her, she always keeps us in the loop with her visits, and is flexible whenever we have a last minute change of plans. We know that our dogs are going to be well cared for with her and appreciate the peace of mind that gives us when we’re away!

Safety, trust & environment
I have always treated pets as part of the family and think that all animals should be treated with compassion. I also believe that positive reinforcement is the most effective training method and that you can always teach an old dog new tricks.
Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, health issues, or personality quirks that would be helpful in handling them. I am confident that I can handle most issues given the opportunity to prepare accordingly.
A typical day
I think it’s important for dogs to have physical exercise, as well as mental stimulation. I will always try to incorporate training and/or reinforcement of basic obedience, engaging in appropriate play, and exploring new things.
