Love and adventures galore

Pet care experience

Hello pup parents! Having had dogs in my home since childhood, as well a colorful and active lifestyle that has allowed me to encounter a variety of pets, I'm no stranger to taking good care of our beloved furry friends. We bring out the best in each other, and I truly cherish the time I get to play with and learn from these silly creatures while also making sure they are happy, healthy and living their best lives while you're away. I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I am patient, understanding, consistent, and always up for a challenge. I love to have fun, but I know when to be firm. I generally like to be active with my dogs but I can accommodate any activity level your pup needs. Whether it be going on a run, taking them to the beach and playing fetch, a short stroll though the neighborhood, sunbathing in the backyard, or snuggles next to the tv, it can be done! I can guarantee your fur baby will be in good hands with me.

Katie was a wonderful sitter! She was very attentive to both Piper's and my needs, and I felt at ease knowing she was safe and having a wonderful time in Katie's care. She kept me involved along the way with pictures and updates, and I returned to a sparkling clean house! Would highly recommend!

Sasha was well taken care of. She and Katie bonded right away. We would highly recommend her. We are happy to have found someone we can trust.

Katie has a passion for providing quality care to pups of all sizes! She is enthusiastic, fun, and always finds a way to take the owner's preferences into account, while going above and beyond to make sure all dogs feel safe, comfortable and happy. She would be an ideal dog sitter or walker, and is an awesome friend to boot!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a small house with an excellent back yard that is half stone half grass. It is fenced in, and there's lots of room to frolic. Dogs are free to roam and hang out wherever they choose, and are free to hop on the couch and cuddle with me or one of the various dog lovers that also live on the house (unless your bud isn't allowed on furniture, which will be enforced) and I would be happy to snuggle them in my bed. As for your home, I'm happy to abide by any routine and rule that you have for your dwelling. I am very low impact and respectful of space. Whatever you need done, I'm here for it.

Information Katie T. would like to know about your pet

I absolutely like to know a pups temperament towards humans and other animals, and whether they can have play pals or not. Also any special needs, dietary restrictions, and quirky tendencies.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks and runs through local parks and forest trails, beach adventures and even easy strolls exploring a neighborhood if there's a preference to stay close to home. I have frisbees and other toys if your pup is playful, and multiple vehicles to transport them. And if our friends are on the less active side, I'm excited to say I'm an expert cuddler and would be more than happy to spend some relaxation time with them at home.

I am currently making dog sitting my full time gig which leaves the entire week for me to give your dog all the love and attention they need. I love to be active and productive, and having your dog by my side makes that easy and much more enjoyable!
