Large park next door-home part time

Pet care experience

I am a full time day shift nurse, but I only work 3 days a week. I work a lot of weekends, so I’m usually free during the week. I have always had at least one dog my whole life. I have an extremely friendly dog of my own (fully up to date with shots and vetting) that I can bring for a play date, unless you prefer me to solely care for your pup. I am a two minute walk from a large park with walking paths and also walk through town. I will also provide treats - as long as they’re owner approved! I have owned mostly big dogs, so I am seasoned with heavy pulling on leashes. I only ask that you provide a halter or alternative collar so the dog doesn’t choke him or herself on the whole walk :-)

Katie is awesome with Chief. He has walked with her and had a drop in visit and has absolutely loved it. She is dependable and easy to work with, being that she was able to change her plans with the weather! Definitely will continue working with Katie in the future.

Katie has been so fantastic with my new puppy!! It’s such a relief going back to work and knowing she’s there for him at lunch time to play! Very thoughtful and reliable. :)

Katie did a fantastic job watching over our Lola! She was so nice and very responsive. Her dog Carter was adorable and playful, and he didn’t mind sharing his toys with Lola! We got daily updates including pictures and videos. I was convinced Lola wouldn’t want to leave lol! Thank you guys for taking such good care of our girl so we could get away for a few days without worry about her!!
