Friendly, low key, trustworthy

**Please note that I am only boarding dogs that are friendly with cats at this time** 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 currently live with a Goldador, Sage, and a kitty, Roo, and have been pet sitting for many years and active on Rover for eight years.

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!

House Sitting • Juni 19, 2022

Katie did an awesome job taking care of our 9 yr old lab/shepard mix and our 1.5 yr old cat while we were on our honeymoon for a week. She even stayed at our house and made sure to bring in any packages since we were still getting gifts delivered from our wedding. It was very reassuring that Katie sent us pictures and updates of the pets everyday and the house was clean when we returned!

Schedule

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!

Safety, trust & environment

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.

Pets

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!
