Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & self educated
I have had at least one animal in my household at all times. From exotic reptiles to rambunctious canines, I have experience handling, training, exercising, professional grooming, and catering to the individual needs and personalities each animal has. In addition to my personal experience I am pursuing my bachelors pre-vet med currently!
Cat care experience
Katie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I offer well rounded care for your companions and property. I am able to provide services including but not limited to: walks, prepare and provide meals, clean feces, groom, training, provide company, play/teach games, car rides, trip to the dog park, hikes, etc. In my home, my animals are on a feeding, sleeping, and potty schedule. This helps us maintain levels of anxiety for our animals, as well as avoiding potty accidents. They truly are like fur-children!

Schedule
I am unable to board as there are already 4 dogs and 1 cat in my household. 3 of which are my own. Because I am in school and working part time, my schedule is ever changing! I would love to move full time back into this work, but at the moment am trying to build up clientele in the area. I believe dogs need to be relieved every 2-4 hours, 6-8 if absolutely necessary, with at least 2 hours of high active play (varies for puppies and seniors) and lots of peaceful rest. Cats are typically more laid back but they still need at least (2) 30min sessions of enrichment/ play time, and lots of cuddles! As I transition back to preferred work (animal services) I will need to work closely with families to ensure their needs will be met and fit into my schedule. My goal is to have regular walking and grooming clients with a variety of pet sitting opportunities through the year. Holidays go like hot cakes so be sure to schedule in advance! The last time I used Rover was to build my clientele but I prefer to work off-Rover once the ball is rolling. Thank you for considering me!

- I request that owners leave me a “care sheet” that contains the following information: -Feeding, sleeping, and potty times -Favorite toys and activities -Triggers for anxiety and or agression -Medications, how and when to administer -Common behavior issues to watch for, and how to address -Known voice commands and hand signals/whistle signals -Routines for feeding, leaving the house, coming home, giving treats, ect. I.E When I provide my dogs food, I choose the same location, I command them to come, sit, and wait, I place the bowls down 1-2 feet apart from each other, I tell them who’s bowl is who’s, I wait 5-10 seconds and give the command “Okay Jocko, Okay Lucy” to let them individually know, by name, that they can move toward their bowl and eat.
- These prices are for 1 dog.
