I’ll adventure with your dog

Hey! My name is Katie. I’m a freelance photographer, so if you want any cute pictures of your fur babies I got you! I live in an off-grid house with a big grassy yard perfect for dogs. I used to work at a veterinarian office as a Kennel Technician and just love dogs. I’m good at giving them attention, playing with them, and giving them love. I love hiking and being outside so your dog will definitely be tired after we go out. Animals and I connect really well. I have a very calm demeanor that dogs & cats get along with. I’m 34 years old and have been a dog walker/sitter for 15+ years. I pay close attention to detail so your fur baby is in save hands. I have two dogs myself so I know all about the love and care they want and need. Let me hangout with your puppers!

I do both, I can care for your pup at my house or your house. My husband & I just moved to the Big Island earlier this year, we’re working on fencing in our yard. I’ve mainly stayed at peoples homes, but this is the first time I’ve had a yard in awhile so I wanna use it haha

Katie was an excellent sitter for our two dogs - keeping them entertained and managing medication with no trouble. We will certainly book her again.

Katie did a great job with walking my two dogs (German Shepherd and Shepherd mix). I could tell from the meet and greet that she has a great knowledge of dogs and that they love her. My pups are looking forward to their future time with her

If your dog(s) have any medical things going on I’d like to know about it. Or if they have any physical limitations and if they don’t get along with other dogs, please let me know. I have experience dealing with aggressive dogs.
