Dog lover for life!
Pet care experience
I have always been very passionate about animals and absolutely consider them a memeber of the family! I am located in the Ladson, SC area. I am a big supporter of shelters and rescue dogs. We had a senior rescue that unfortunately passed away due to declining health and I will forever have a soft spot for sweet seniors. I would love to take your dog on a beautiful walk daily and build a relationship with them, while also letting them stay at our home during your work day! I am available Monday-Friday! I have a beautiful screened in porch and a newly fenced in back yard that is dog escape proof. I am knowledgeable on crate training, potty schedule, food regimen, and also very familiar with pill administration due to our own senior dog that had extensive health issues. I have worked in an office or retail job for YEARS and I truly believe this is the best job for me. I would love to take care of your dog and provide them with the proper care while your away. Depending on their activity level, I can take them on up to a 3-4 mile walk! I am big on outdoor activity. I allow animals on our furniture but only if you allow it at your own home. Please make sure I am aware of any "no-no" in your household so I can continue that training when I am with your dog. We have a toy aussie that is still young and cautious. So we would LOVE to have play dates for socialization! Proper socialization is key! I look forward to meeting your fur baby :)
Reviews
Katie is so sweet and intuitive. It's like she's has a 6th sense when it comes to puppie! She kept me updated on my pup's status constantly and when I came to get him he was the happiest little thing. Katie goes out of her way to ensure your pup gets all the attention and love he/she deserves. Definitely recommend booking with her for any service. She's the best!
Katie Utz is fantastic!!! She has such a bright/happy spirit, and gives off good energy all of the time! I have been friends with Katie for 10+ years and can say with 100% confidence that I know she will take great care of any pet, and love every minute of it. She has spent a lot of time with my crazy, hyper Australian Shepherd puppy (Jolene), and never once did she get frustrated (even when it would have been totally jusitified?). She keeps a calm, happy attitude and through positive reinforcement built a great, loving relationship with Jolene. I would let Katie take care of my dogs without even giving it a second thought, and I'm pretty picky! She's the best. I know she'll love helping other's with their dogs, and will do an excellent job!!
Katie has cared for both our dog Henry and our cat Lucy. She's done daycare/walking and also overnight pet sitting for us in our home. We have had a great experience with her in both aspects- Katie is always on time, is attentive to our pets, and keeps us informed if we are gone over night. We highly recommend and trust her!
