Looking to meet your furry friend!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life. I cared for my childhood dog when she got sick and old. I’ve watched others cats and checked in on them during vacations. I love dogs and have adopted a few throughout the years and have experience in potty training and senior care; like giving medicine and calming aggravated dogs. I am also insured through PCI, to provide an extra level of assurance and peace of mind!

Katie was a pleasure to have look after our 2 small dogs while we were away for a weekend. She followed all directions and was always on time for multiple drop in visits to feed and walk dogs, lockup house. We plan to call on her again in future. Easy to see she is a kind animal lover!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard to keep my animals safe. As for in home care I would always make sure to keep pets properly crated if needed, and check in on them and give any attention and love they may need. Whether that be walking, or playing fetch in the backyard, or just taking a nap curled up on the couch.

Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or even any special quirks or wants. I am not a psychic but usually know what dogs need, it is best for you to let me know as much as possible about your pet! I always appreciate a pet parent that gives me a “cheat sheet” to their pet, with their diet, behaviors, favorite toys, etc!! The more information the better care I can provide!

A typical day

I like going at the pace of the dogs for walks, letting them sniff around and explore. It’s their time not mine! For drops ins it is more up to the pet! But all drops ins would have lots of attention and love (maybe a little less excitement for my socially anxious pups), I always am sure to fill up a water bowl and maybe sneak a treat or two for any sweet pup or cat!

I’m currently in school online, and have a very flexible schedule. I love animals and am looking to find any reason to meet more four legged friends. I love going for walks and having a furry friend join me. I also am happy to do drop ins and give pets some love while you are away or busy! I can adhere to your schedule and understand any pet parents and their specific schedules!
