Pet care experience

I've been called a dog whisperer on more than one occasion... Ever since I was a child (look through my photos for me as a kid hanging out with my pets!), I've always been around animals. I have a six year old black lab/golden retriever named Sage, who goes with me everywhere. She is very mellow and gets along with just about everyone. She loves chasing tennis balls and playing with other dogs in the backyard.

Katie and Sage were so welcoming to Buzz and took very good care of him while I was away. Katie has great communication and asks very thoughtful questions to ensure the best care. Thanks Katie and Sage! I hope Buzz can come visit again soon :)

Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Leopold, and I would recommend her to anyone. She sent us pictures every day, kept him active and engaged, gave us updates on his stay, and was always responsive.

Katie and Sage were awesome hosts for our dog. She had a great time! Katie's communication was great and we loved all the photos and videos we got while away. We will definitely re-book with Katie and Sage for future trips!

I own a house with a great backyard for dogs. Check out the end of my photos for details. I never leave the pups outside when I’m not home, and Sage and I like to keep a consistent schedule so that she knows when food, exercise, and downtime happen.

Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet

• How long is your dog used to being left alone? When your dog is left alone, where does he or she stay in the house? • What is your dog's routine for walks and exercising? • Does your dog do well off-leash? Good name recall? Favorite park? • How often/how much food does your dog eat per day? Specific times for eating? • Any food/dog/people aggression? • Any health issues, or interesting quirks? • Does your dog know any commands that would be helpful for me to know? • Anything else you can think of that would be helpful for me to know.

A typical day

On weekends and after work during the week, Sage and I explore, and would love to bring your pup along, too! We do something every day, whether it is walking through the neighborhood, hiking, playing fetch at the park, or swimming in the river. Happy to work out details so that the dog sitting experience is easy and seamless!

I have a flexible schedule and mainly work from home, which means I have time to do walks and exercise before work, during lunch, and/or after work every day. If you are interested in a timeframe that my calendar says I'm unavailable, please still reach out. I may be able to move some things around to make it work!
