Please note that I am also accepting requests for the holidays. My calendar is up to date through the end of January, 2025. I work part time in the evenings 1-2 nights each week and do pet sitting the rest of the time! Doggy day care is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with potential for the weekends as well. Dog boarding can be done any day of the week, but only if your pup is okay alone, either crated or left to hang out, for up to 4 hours. Please check in with me to book dogs with severe separation anxiety, so I can ensure they will never be alone when they're here. Thank you so much for supporting my business and trusting me with your fur baby! I'm truly so grateful that I get to do what I love every day! 🐾🐾 **With the dog influenza virus going around, I just want to confirm any pups coming into my home are up to date on the bordetella vaccine. I've had a lot of clients asking lately about any precautions I'm taking with this going around, so know that I'm ensuring my pups are all healthy and up to date on vaccines, and we're avoiding busy dog parks until there's more info on what's causing the virus and ways to prevent transmission. I'm also making sure everyone is healthy and not showing any cold symptoms, and keeping my dog fountain fresh with a frequently changed filter and clean water daily. If you have any questions or concerns just let me know!

Safety, trust & environment
My apt is pet safe and I'm fully prepared for all the poop apocalypses and fur and toy massacres that may occur while your fur baby is here! My roommate/bestie/dog dad co-parents with me so the pups are rarely alone when they're here.
Home
Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet
Triggers, anxious behaviors, and any physical ailments would be the most important things to know! Also, feeding schedule, allergies, potty schedule, on or off leash time are things I'd like to know. If your dog is easily startled or an excited pee-er, please warn me so I can keep them out of the carpeted areas of my apt!
A typical day
I live blocks from Alta Plaza park and walking distance to Alamo Square, and love taking walks over there with my pup! I'll usually try to find a nice park to take a stroll through, and no off leash time unless specified by the owner!

Pet care experience
Hello and happy new year! Please know that I am currently on vacation until 1/29/2026, with limited access to cell service, so my profile is currently in "away mode". Past clients may always send a message, but I will do my best to respond whenever I am able to! New clients may have to wait until I return due to app settings. My calendar is also up to date for the entire year so far. 🩷 Thank you! I am no longer offering private walks, but feel free to book drop in visits for evenings or weekends, or consider adding your pup to my daycare gang during the week while you're at work! RIP Lucy... One year ago she joined the best of them in doggie heaven, and Sergeant Pepper was rescued and changed the whole vibe! His cousin, Tycho, comes over all the time so I like to keep him on the profile... he's a little weirdo but we love him! We used to be a house of seniors, but we now accept pups of all ages and energy levels, so long as they can calm themselves eventually and aren't excessive barkers (I do live in an apartment and need to be respectful of the neighbors when we're inside). A few years ago, I decided to pursue dog sitting full time, and it's been amazing! I'm great with older and younger dogs. I was raised with all kinds of weird pets and I genuinely love animals. I used to be an Elite Tasker in the Pet Sitting category of Task Rabbit, and can provide numerous positive reviews and references! Whether I'm just walking your pet, or they're staying with me, they will be treated like they are one of my own! If you know you have a vacation planned, please let me know as soon as possible, so I may plan to accommodate. **New clients will always be required to do a meet and greet prior to a first booking, unless it's for a single day or night, NO EXCEPTIONS. I can usually do drop in visits for cats at least once every day, so feel free to reach out for scheduling. Please note that I am currently only available to do drop ins during the evening on weekdays, but can be flexible on timing on weekends. If your kitty will need multiple visits in a day, I can probably make that work with enough notice for scheduling. Thank you, and I look forward to meeting your fur baby! PLEASE READ BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICES IN MY HOME: My dogs are my children, and their care is absolutely part of my routine! Please do not request me if your dog is any of the following: •High energy and unable to calm themselves eventually (I always do my best to tire out and entertain the pups, but there's just some that need more attention than I can give when I have multiple in the home) •Excessive barker (dogs that bark at normal things are fine, ie doorbells, strangers, etc) I live in an apartment and need to be respectful of my neighbors so no overly chatty pups, please! •Doesn't play well with others, or know how to respect boundaries •Food thieves are fine, I separate for feeding (even the grazers learn), but dogs that are food aggressive even with treats being shared won't be allowed for a second visit. •Medium energy dogs on a case-by-case basis •Low energy puppies on case-by-case basis, but they must be house broken or able to use pee pads. Your pets are treated like family in my home! Allowed on all the furniture, sleeping in my bed (or one of the many dog beds around the apt), and usually getting lots of attention and treats. Please let me know if your pup is prone to accidents! It's totally fine, i just need to prepare for it. Dogs that end up being chronic markers may not be allowed back over, or we may discuss using a belly band as a preventative measure. It just becomes problematic with multiple dogs in the home 🤣 Thank you for understanding!

Reviews

My dog is obsessed with Katie, which says it all. I’ve been using Katie for years because she truly loves dogs & I know my baby is in good hands.


Katie was wonderful with our two cats over Christmas. It was very difficult with the storms, but once those cleared it was smooth sailing! She took good care of Jojo’s eyes and medicine. We were a little worried at first about his eye care since she had beautiful long nails art, but she really found a way to clean his eyes well and give eye drops! Thank you, Katie!

Wonderful experience! I am so happy & relieved. Katie kept me posted & answered all my questions. This was our first sleepover & we can’t wait to come back ! Thank you Katie!

Katie was amazing with my pup! She made him feel right at home and he got along great with her dog. You can tell she really loves dogs and pays attention to all the little details. I loved getting photo updates during the day. Highly recommended!
