Pet care experience

Dogs, walks and cleaning 🐾 🤍

I love animals ☺️. I make trusting connections with them and give them love yet I am also strict, safe, and routinized. You can expect: Cuddles on the couch, lots of walks & regular potty breaks, healthy nutrition, and good sleep when I’m watching your pup 🙂. *Relevant Experience: Hospice Elderly care taker Kindergarten-8th grade Teacher High School Soccer Coach full & part time Nanny & Babysitter Camp Counselor US Embassy Representative & Volunteer I’m from California ☀️, played ⚽️ & currently own a home in Manchester, NH with my husband. We have a 3 story house nestled in a quiet, neighborly cul de sac on the North-end with a back yard, and dog parks within 100 ft. I am clean, organized, prepared and very communicative. I love being outdoors and I’m a DIV 1 athlete - Dogs are the best buddies for walks, hikes, and runs 🥰, we make sure to get our daily exercise in.

Katie was great with Chase while I was out of the country for 9 nights! It’s always nice to know he’s with someone who cares so much for the pups she watches. I would recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet!

From the time I dropped him off to the time I picked him up he was on the go - Katie and Ben are great, but their pup Penny kept my guy on the go 😅 - they were the best of friends as soon as they met! Katie, thanks for such great care, and I truly appreciate you for taking him such short notice

Katie was great with Bridgette, as always!! She sent frequent updates during my trip. Bridgette didn't want to leave when I came to pick her up!

Our greyhound quickly felt attached to Katie and was comfortable in her home. Mac had a great overnight stay.

Katie took great care of my Bridgette while I was away! I recently moved to the area and was a bit nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter for nearly 2 weeks, but Katie was incredibly reassuring. Bridgette seemed comfortable with her almost immediately during our meet and greet and seemed happy in all the photos and videos. When I picked her up, she didn't want to say good-bye!
