Lifetime dog owner - experienced

Pet care experience

I know how to care for and train dogs and cats, as I have had two golden retrievers for most of my life. As I have had two dogs, I am capable of caring for more than one dog at a time. I fully trained my second dog, so if your dog isn't fully trained, I can help! I know the kind of exercise they need and the care that they deserve. I also cat sit my friends cats often (3 cats), so I know how to care for all animals. I will take the dog for long walks and make sure they get the exercise they need. There are multiple parks right by my house, so there will be socialization and a safe space to run.

Katie took great care of our dog Chester. It felt good from the beginning and the communication was pleasant. We will definitely contact Katie again when we need a sitter.

Katie is excellent with Gina, combining firmness with affection, always dependable and steady. I know Gina is in the best hands

Katie is just great —at setting limits, giving encouragement and affection. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs.

Katie was great! Our dog Sneakers is well trained but very high-energy and has dog reactivity issues. We are very upfront with the sitters about that from the get-go because we want to make sure everyone is comfortable with the arrangement. We also needed to board Sneakers over New Year's on a short notice, which can be pretty challenging. Fortunately for us, we really lucked out by finding Katie! Katie was very flexible about setting up a meet-and-greet, as well as drop-off and pick-up. She was easy to communicate with, responsive and conscientious. She was comfortable handling our rambunctious beast, and returned to us a happy and nicely tired out dog! We are very glad to have found her, and wouldn't hesitate to board Sneakers with her again!
