your dog's new best bud

Pet care experience

Dogs love us unconditionally, and I return the favor to them. I'm active with dogs when i take care of them. I'll walk, run and play with dogs and they love my company even when they're missing their owners. If they're up for it, i take them on adventures to hike and explore as well. I cared for my neighbor's chocolate lab from 8 weeks onwards for a year to help out, and they are beyond happy with my dog sitting and love seeing the relationship Augie (the dog) and I share. I truly feel like dog's best friend, and they're my best friends too. As someone who has always loved and cared for all animals, I have a way with them. I grew up with a golden retriever starting in third grade, and for her first few nights in our home, I insisted on sleeping next to her crate in a sleeping bag. My friends call me the dog whisperer because their dogs love me every time i go over to their houses. I'm really free and flexible in terms of hours and services, reach out to me if you could use a hand!

Katie is a life saver!! She stepped in to watch Winston very last minute after the previous Rover that he was supposed to stay with cancelled. She came to the house and stayed and provided great updates. Winston seemed really happy when I got home so I know he had a good time.

Cannot say thank you enough to Katie for taking such good care of Max. Since it was Max's first time boarding, she walked him soon after we got there and provided lots of exercises and snuggles to alleviate any stress. We got pictures and updates throughout the weekend to reduce our anxiety as well. We would not hesitate to book another stay with Katie again. She seemed very attuned to making Max feel at ease.

Katie did a great job with Winston. She ended up staying at my house with him instead of at her place so he seemed more relaxed in his own space. She sent me updates and pics to let me know how things were going over the weekend too. It was nice to know he was in good hands!

Tasha has a new best friend!! Katie stayed at our townhome here in Old Town Alexandria while we were visiting family in Park City, Utah! She took impeccable care of our home but more importantly she was there for little Tasha who got to stay in her own home which made it so easy for her!! She always cries when we come home and this is the first time in 9 years she didn't cry!! Tasha is so excited to see Katie again tonight while we go to the ballgame!!
