I'll treat your pup like my own!
Pet care experience
I'm a lifelong dog lover who would love to meet your pup! I currently have a one year old cockapoo flufflball and grew up with a quirky bunch of spaniels and spaniel mixes. I'm well versed in all things dog, and I'm happy to report back on how your fur baby's day is going. I’m big on providing personalized care for your pup, whether that means bringing a doggy bottle along to keep them hydrated, just playing inside, or keeping them calm during a thunderstorm. I have been walking on the Wag app for about a year and I currently have over 100 five star reviews. I pet sit for friends on occasion (we always have the best time!) and for daycare and boarding I'd be open to hosting 1-2 pups at a time as long as they can get along with my small doggo! Please message for more info or a meet and greet.
Reviews
Katie was terrific with our Wheaten Terrier Mae. Its always hard to find someone who can take care of your dog, but I think Katie is a natural pet lover. I will hopefully be able to use Katie again in the future.
Katie was great with our pup! She worked really hard to make Leo feel comfortable.
My dog came home in good spirits and well taken care of, but this sitter had difficulty dealing with my dog adjusting to a new place. My dog is older and apparently likes to pee on her rug, which I get is frustrating. I received a terse message late at night midway through my dogs stay and then didn't hear back after my responses until late the next day, which had me worried. In the end though, all was resolved - my dog seemed very happy when I picked her up and I provided extra tip to go toward cleaning supplies or a green machine.
Katie was an excellent sitter for my dog Zady! I was a little tentative about boarding Zady outside of my home for the first time, but I felt very comfortable during my trip that Zady was in good hands. Katie sent lots of super cute pictures and kept me updated regularly. I'd definitely have Katie take care of Zady again!

At my home, I have a fenced courtyard, and will crate your pup when I need to leave the house if needed. Pups are generally given a longer walk in the afternoon and trips to nearby Horner Dog Park if possible!
Home
Information Katie T. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know if your dog is up to date on vaccinations and is neutered (males only). I would also need to know if he or she plays well with other dogs and is crate trained, as I will not be able to have the dogs running freely if I need to leave the apartment. Due to Maisy's size, I would need your dog to be 40 lbs or less.
A typical day
Playtime with my very social Cockapoo, Maisy. Belly and butt scratches galore. Yak cheese, bully stick, or marrow bone chewing time (dietary restrictions permitting). Walkies around Irving Park or Horner Park's exclusive dog area. Tug of War. Brushing time (if needed). Dogster puppy ice cream in the summer. Supervising the neighborhood on my chicken wire-protected balcony, Pupdates via photo or video. A spot in our bed to sleep!

Availability
I work remotely for most of the day, so I have time to hang out with pups and take them out for walks/potty breaks. I usually provide toys and some sort of chewing activity to keep them occupied while I'm on calls or doing emails!
