Animal Whisperer/Dog Photographer:)
Pet care experience
As soon as I can remember I loved walking dogs around my neighborhood. I didn't have a dog growing up, and as much as I loved my cat I wanted that experience. I now have a dog who is the queen of the household, but I have enjoyed getting to take care of her, bathe her and teach her any new tricks I can think of. I've always had a passion for animals and love getting to know their individual personalities. I also am very patient so if your animal is shy at all, or a rescue like my own, I will take the time to let them get to know me:). To see more check out @startthepawty on instagram!

Katie is amazing! She helped me out last minute by doing some drop in visits with my two dogs Bear and Riley. Her communication is the best; I got reports and pics of my dogs. She clearly has a gift for not only photography but also connecting with animals. If my dogs could talk I know they would ask for Katie to come back!
Katie was absolutely AMAZING with Dakota! This is my first time using Rover & I didn't worry in the slightest while I was away, and it was all because of Katie! She went ABOVE & BEYOND knowing I was a bit nervous leaving him! I look forward to using Katie in the future! EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION & ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS SAFE & BEING WELL CARED FOR!
What else to say other than I am that crazy dog lady who believes she birthed her dog. Our boy Cooper used to go into my fiancé‘s office with him every day, but when life took a turn, and he no longer could we found ourselves extremely stressed, trying to make sure someone could come and see him during the lunch hour with his crazy schedule and myself working out in San Jose. It was then that we decided we needed to build a relationship with someone to both check on Cooper when I could not work from home and on the occasional overnight away when family couldn’t do the job. This was super tricky for me because I wasn’t willing to hire someone who could just walk a dog or sleep at our house, rather I needed someone that saw Cooper the way I did and treated him the way we do. Henderson is the absolute love of our lives, and the king of the household, and we needed someone that would understand his sensitive and loving nature, and be somewhat flexible with our inconsistent schedule. Boy did we hit the jackpot! Katie insisted she come to our house and meet Cooper prior to agreeing to the job. She asked all of the right questions and we knew right away that it was going to be a great fit!Not only is Katie flexible when I get to work from home at last minute, but she always leaves a detailed report, so I feel like I am there with my boy when I can’t be, and she also has a great eye for dog photography. She is going to help us get Cooper involved in our wedding photos in a few months! If you need someone to love on you pup when you cannot, look no further! We love you Katie!
Katie is amazing, and we are so glad we found her! She has been doing drop-in visits with our dog Summer twice a week for a couple of months. Katie seems to genuinely care for Summer, and she recognizes how sweet and gentle Summer is (despite being dog reactive outside!). We love seeing the pics Katie shares from her visits, and we also appreciate how communicative and flexible she is with schedule changes. We are so thankful we have someone we can trust to take great care of our pup!

Safety, trust & environment
Depending on what is needed I can either drop by or stay so that every few hours I can check their water, food, bathroom needs or see if they just want some company:)
Information Katie T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you have a puppy that likes to chew(so I don't wear anything I care to get ruined) or if your dog has any special/specific needs! I want to be able to accommodate accordingly, so just give me a heads up! Also you will probably receive pictures anyway but let me know if you'd like a photography walk, I'll spend time with your pup to get you some good pictures!
A typical day
I love staying active; I go to the gym daily and love to go on walks. I am more than willing to take your dog on long walks if needed and will help them get all their energy out. I love taking dogs to dog parks too, but if your dog doesn't like dog parks(mine certainly does not), hiking is always fun!

Availability
