available all day will run with dog

Pet care experience

Manhattan only! I will spend my time and energy to fulfill your dogs needs! Whether it's going for a run to get all their energy out or just relaxing with tummy rubs, it will be done; my schedule is typically always open. I have grown up around dogs specifically labs, so I have experience in dealing with big dogs. Controlling them on walks and overall handling their size comes naturally to me. I've volunteered at the humane society and created my own dog bathing business, which involved walking the dogs as well. My current Labrador is therapy certified, so we often go to nursing homes to interact with the residents. It required a handler certification involving tests that I had to take, along with my dog too. I have always loved dogs and it would be an honor to pass that love to your dog! I love consistent clients with a set weekday schedule so I can get to know your dog and treat them like my own.

Katie was fantastic with Oliver. I felt like he was in really safe hands and came home to a clearly happy dog. She was super flexible about a few last minute changes and made sure she knew all the specifics of his care. I would definitely book with Katie again.

Katy is a blessing! She is flexible, accommodating and my dog loves her. Strangers usually have a hard time to get my dog out but June goes with Katy with no problem.

Katie is fantastic! Quick to respond, communicative, kind, flexible, and loves my dog: couldn’t ask for anything better. My pup loses his mind (extreme excitement) every time she comes to pick him up, so clearly he approves of Katie as well. ☺️

Safety, trust & environment

At your home, I will respect your area with the sole mission of taking care of your doggie. I try to be outside with your dog or stimulate their minds to get their energy out and anxiety tamed while you are away.

Information Katie V. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting a dog, I would like to know: If there are any allergies, any places your dog doesn't like to be pet, actions your dog does not like, how well they get along with other animals/ humans, overview of their personality, do's and do not's, and specialties that I should be aware of.

A typical day

We will go on walks where ever your dog desires! Also, parks and dog friendly businesses so there is a change of scenery and smells. For those who have more energy, we will definitely be going on runs.
