Work from home, across from park!
Pet care experience
I work from home, my officemate is my 7 year old dog that weighs 60lbs. We love going for walks and exploring the nearby parks during the day. When the weather is nice we spend the afternoons up on my roof deck working (Roxy is usually snoring alongside me). We can also be found hiking in Patapsco State Valley Park on the weekends, we would love for your pup to join us! From raising/training Roxy from a pup to caring for my roommates K9 German Shepard, I have vast experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I am the go to pet sitter amongst my friends when they travel or need their pups let out during an unexpected long work day. Roxy, like any dog, has had her fair share of ear infections, scrapes and tummy aches. I'm used to the drill, from pills to ear/eye drops to vitamins, I've administered them all. I'm also an avid user of Rover.com, having been on the other side looking for a sitter and being away from my pup I have a certain level of expectation of how I want my dog to be treated and cared for while I'm gone. I can promise you I will treat your dog with the same love and attention that I treat my dog. I want to provide you with a stress free day at work/on vacation knowing your dog is in safe and capable hands. I pride myself in communication and will never leave you wondering what is my dog up to? has he/she eaten dinner? gone for a walk? I'm happy to provide lots of pics and videos!

Katie was fantastic! She was friendly, knowledgeable and very caring. She accommodated our last minute boarding request, asked great questions when we dropped our pup off to make sure she had all the information to care for her, and kept me updated with pics while we were gone. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her!
Penny had a great time staying with Katie and Roxy for the day. And what a great location right next to a park! We will definitely be back. -Martha
My dog Beetle is a resuce with an unknown past, and he can be unsure and nervous around other dogs. Katie made him feel comfortable and calm right away. He is a lapdog who doesn't know he doesn't fit in your lap, and he got to get his walks and also his cuddles in today. A great experience for us both.
Buko had a great time with Katie and her dog Roxy. He came back tired and mellow, which is a feat for this giant puppy. He's big, rambunctious, and still learning his manners while playing with other dogs but Katie was very calm and professional with him. Katie's communication, from planning through pick-up, was very fast and clear. Thanks so much, Katie.

Does your dog have any quirks, fears? Special commands, training, routine that needs to be kept up with? Allergies?
A typical day
I firmly believe a good dog is a tired dog. I live only a block away from Riverside Park, 10 minute walk to Federal Hill Park and a 2 minute drive from Latrobe dog park. If dog park interactions aren't your dog's cup of tea, I also love walking down to the harbor or around Fort McHenry. During the dog days of summer I have a baby pool that I fill up that provides hours of fun to keep the pups cool. Spring/Fall I love going on weekend hikes. And come Winter/Rainy days, I have no problem setting up indoor obstacle courses and playing retrieval games inside to ensure your dog gets the exercise they need while your away.
