Experienced foster & dog lover

Pet care experience

NOTE- I am unavailable 02/16-02/27 and will be unable to respond to requests on app. I come from a big family of dog lovers & have spent my whole life with them! It has been 9 years since I adopted my first pup. More recently, adopting from a local rescue lead to becoming a volunteer foster, which I have been doing for about 5 years now. I have experience with crate training puppies, giving medications to stubborn pups, and working with all sizes of dogs.

Needed someone to let my dog out last minute and Katie was great! Appreciate her making the time for us 😊

Our pup Cooper had another great walk with Katie. She does the best job of communicating and is reliable! We receive awesome photos from their outing and detailed notes. So glad we found Katie!

Katie did such a great job walking our dog Cooper. We did a meet & greet a few days before and she asked lots of questions regarding Cooper’s mannerisms and behavior. It was very apparent that Katie has worked with dogs of all types. The notes and photos Katie sent after their walk were great! Very detailed and it was clear our pup had a good time! Will definitely be using Katie again!
