Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Katie. I have owned, dog-sat, and trained dogs for 15 years. I currently have a 10 lb. Chihuahua mix in my home. She is house and crate trained with tons of energy. Also, she is well socialized and working toward becoming a licensed service animal. In the past I have house trained and crate trained dogs, as well as trained a newly blind dog using scent training (air fresheners work wonders for Basset Hounds). I am able to teach basic training and commands using differing training methods or reinforce training already started. I will try to accommodate any special requests/needs of you and your pet. Any specific questions or concerns, please just ask! I look forward to meeting you and your fur-riend!

Katie was great -- very communicative and took very good care of Remy while we were away. Would recommend to anyone for boarding their pup!

Katie is fantastic!! She is super responsive and very flexible; she’s more than accommodating working around our hectic schedule! You can tell she is a dog lover through and through and she is super sweet and patient with our shy dog. We are lucky to have found such a great sitter in our area!

Katie took great care of Eddy and he got along great with Katie’s pup Tater. She sent me great photos and kept in touch with me. I will definitely be working with her again!
