Pets deserve the best

Pet care experience

I am a dog lover and have experience caring for them. I lost my 12 year old pit due to cancer so I am looking to care for other dogs for the time being. I have an 11 year old blind, deaf beagle who loves to be around other dogs. I work full time M-F. I do come home on lunch breaks so your pet would have about 4-4.5 hours between potty breaks. I am home all evening after 5:30 and all weekend. I currently have 3 cats in the home who are used to dogs - I would just need your dog to be okay with the cats! I have an unfenced yard for your pet to run around in (if need be we can walk around on a leash) as well as 3 cats to keep your pet company.

Katie took excellent care of my Aussie doodle. She is flexible with pick and drop off hours. I will use her service again if needed. Thanks

I've known Katie for several years, and I can say that she is a wonderful pet owner and would make an excellent dog caregiver. She has the capability to make sure her pets are taken care of, and takes them to the vet on a regular basis. She is responsible in making sure her pets stay healthy and happy in her home. Anyone trusting Katie to look after their dog will not be disappointed.

My name is Sara, and I worked with Katie for several years as a customer service specialist for a corporate retail chain. I became close friends with Katie due to her magnetic personality and empathetic attitude toward others, and I cannot think of someone who would take better care of people’s beloved pets! Katie has had pets throughout our many years of friendship, and she takes excellent care of her animals. Her calm demeanor, maturity, and love for animals make her perfect for this role, and I highly recommend her!

Information Katie T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know in your dogs needs to be leashed in my yard since it is unfenced. Also, please let me know if your dog is high energy as my dog is not and I will need to put baby gates in place.

A typical day

Since I am fully available on weekends I have a ton of free time to take the dogs on walks - although my dog can not walk very well I will take your on several walks. I also have a large (unfenced) yard and 3 cats who love to play with other dogs :) Weekdays dogs are provided with potty breaks and walks in the morning and evening after 5pm and 1 potty break in the afternoon when I come home for lunch.
