My work schedule is from 7:30 AM -3 PM M-F so it is consistent. While I do have evening events, I often have a few hours between the end of work and my evening plans. This is an excellent time to walk a dog or stop by a house that I am dog or cat-sitting for to check in on the pets, play with them, and let them out for potty breaks.

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to learn how best to take care of your pet! I enjoy spending time with the dogs or cats that I look after and getting to know their personalities. Typical rules regarding your pets will be observed.

Information Katie V. would like to know about your pet

I do like to know if they have any unique quirks, if we’re working on manners, their schedule, typical demeanor. How they do with other people and dogs.

A typical day

I do like to go on walks, cuddle with pups, play with them. Since I don’t currently have a dog it’s a great time to get a pup fix in!

Pet care experience

I grew up with two dogs that I regularly helped take care of...I also have spent the last 5 years periodically dog, cat, and lizard sitting for coworkers, friends, and others. I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats and I have had a good thing going the last few years. I also have coworkers that bring their dogs to work and I often spend time with them, walk them around, and play with them.

Katie is fantastic! We booked her for an extended trip and it was the first time we’d left our pups since moving to Alaska. We were really nervous, especially since we’d very recently just lost one of our pups. Katie took excellent care of Mako and Mongo and our home. She gave them lots of love and cuddles and put us at ease with her good communication. Highly recommend.

Katie is the only dog sitter I’ve used so far that followed every instruction I left! She was excellent and left my house clean! She got my high energy dog lots of exercise and sent many updates. I’d recommend Katie to anyone and will definitely be going back to her again!
