Pet care experience

Dogs, walks and cleaning 🐾 🤍

Your pup is my pup 🫶🏻. Eye contact & energy is everything with animals. I have a weird ability to connect with and earn trust from dogs upon meeting. I'm kind, enthusiastic, and a trainer. I’m from California ☀️, played ⚽️ & own a home on the Northend in Manchester, NH with my husband nestled in a neighborly cul de sac with a back yard, and dog parks within 100 ft. I am very clean, organized, and communicative. What can you expect when I’m watching your pup 🙂? Cuddles on the couch, walks & playtime, regular potty breaks, nutrition, and good sleep. 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

Doggy Day Care • Jun 22, 2026

Katie was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we are very particular with our older Havanese. She was very communicative, sent pictures/videos during the day and asked clarifying questions if needed. We will definitely book with Katie again if/when we come back to Manchester.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 09, 2026

My guy practically jumps out of the car for his daycare visits with Katie. In all fairness, he's really running to see Penny, Katie's pup and Oliver's new bestie 🤣🤣🤣

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!
