FT Remote Worker w/yard to play!

Pet care experience

I have over 18 years of experience in the Hospitality Industry and take great care of Clients and provide top notch customer service! During COVID, I had lost my job and started caring for pets full time until finally getting another FT job :) I have taken care of dogs, cats and birds for most of my childhood. I have 2 beautiful Husky Mixes who are very social and love playing! Max is 3 1/2 years old and Sky is 8 months old. Max was rescued at 7 1/2 months old and Sky was my foster fail at 8 weeks old! I currently work from home and am happy to take care of your pet when my schedule allows! They will have a home like experience being able to roam free in the yard and home!

Katie did such a great job with our dog, Luna. We had warned her that our dog was a big skittish and she came over the weekend before we needed her to meet Luna. Although she was still a bit skittish when Katie stayed with her, she warmed up after just a few minutes. Katie sent us several pictures of Luna while we were away to give us peace of mind. We really appreciate Katie going the extra mile to make sure Luna was comfortable while we were away. Would highly recommend her for walking or sitting your dogs!

Katie is fantastic! Very communicative and updates daily with pictures. Rocco seems to enjoy these midday walk because when I get home he is in a very happy mood. 😊

Katie was very responsive and helpful for a last minute trip I had to take. She answered questions promptly and was extremely flexible. She was generous with the time she spent with my dog during her drop-in visits and kept me in the loop with how everything was going. Thank you Katie!

Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet

All dogs must be spayed/neutered for me to be able to care for them. I’d like to know if they are able to roam free should I need to run out for errands and my gym class (weekdays). If your dog needs crated at any point, I have one small dog crate so please bring yours, if needed! Plenty of space! Please let me know of any food allergies and bring your own food for your dogs mealtimes.

A typical day

My dogs will definitely keep your dog stimulated and happy! They’ll have plenty of space to run around in the backyard and enjoy the weather! We have plenty of toys for your dog to play with.
