Your Dog’s New Favorite Walker

With over 22 years of dog ownership and 17 years of dog sitting experience, I am a reliable and loving caregiver for dogs. My lifelong passion for working with dogs, coupled with my fascination in understanding how their minds work, has developed my expertise in providing personalized care tailored to each dog's temperament, behavior, and unique personality. My knowledge of various dog breeds and their specific requirements will enable me to offer customized care that addresses their individual needs. Since I was a little girl, I've taken care of family, friends, and neighbors' dogs while they were away. I also have training in leash-work for puppies and dogs who need help walking while leashed. I am currently pursuing additional certifications in dog training services to better meet the needs of every dog. I can't wait to meet you and your fur-baby!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very large fenced yard for your dog to be able to run and play in! My dog, Winston, is an 8 pound maltipoo who loves having fur friends come over and play! I also have a miniature schnauzer puppy, Wendy, who is learning to love to play with other dogs also! She is a little shy and timid at first with new dogs, but quickly warms up and is ready to play chase. I do not like to use a kennel unless absolutely needed or requested, so your pet will be able to have free range inside our home and in our fenced-in yard! My neighborhood has fully paved sidewalks which allows a safer approach when working on leash-training. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of sunshine, playtime, and exercise during their stay. I have plenty of toys for your dog to enjoy and they are more than welcome to bring their own toys as well! Once they are tired out, they are more than welcome to nap on our couches or bed. I want all fur guests to feel right at home!

Katie has been the best! She has taken the best care of my boy Boone and has been very communicative through the whole process. If you need a reliable and trustworthy sitter for your beloved pets I can’t recommend her enough!

I would love to know any additional information concerning your pet before meeting them. For example, if your dog does not do well eating around other dogs. I will make sure your dog has a place to eat peacefully with no distractions! I also would like to know about your dog’s personality so I can gain the most trust with them. I know meeting a stranger can sometimes be hard or confusing for a dog so I want to make sure they are as comfortable with me as possible!
