Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to check water supply especially during the hot months! Sometimes pavement can be too hot for a dog’s paws, so would love to take your fur baby on adventures to local trails, beaches, and/or to dog parks. I understand each dog has different needs and want to treat your dog to the best of my ability, as well as, model how you take care of your own fur baby.

Information Katie Y. would like to know about your pet

Name, age, breed, approx weight, and special needs. I understand each dog has different needs (and their own favorite toy) and want to treat your dog to the best of my ability, as well as, model how you take care of your own fur baby.

A typical day

A tired dog is a good dog! I would first establish and build trust with your fur baby and love them how I love my own. Whatever they enjoy doing and playing with most to stay physically and mentally fit!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Katie! 😊 I worked in a high stress telecommunications job for many years but my true passion is to walk, train, play with, and take excellent care of dogs. I absolutely love dogs and animals! If my husband and I are driving down the road and I see a dog without an owner, he automatically pulls the car over so I can attempt to rescue and find their owner! I am the extreme dog lover who carries an extra set of leashes, water bowl, and treats in our car just in case. I grew up taking care of and training a German Shepherd and Sheltie. I have owned/and or fostered a few Golden Retrievers, Border Collie, Black Lab, and a Rat Terrier/Red Heeler mix. I love high energy dogs, have strong arms to handle pulling dogs, and enjoy leash training and teaching basic commands. I have also taken care of farms and multiple kinds of farm animals. Our current fur baby is a 1 year old Golden Retriever. She truly has a heart of gold! 💛 I also love and am patient with senior dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your precious fur babies. I also have a heart for people in pain who can’t get outside with their dogs. I would love to help!

Katie was a wonderful find. She was able to take Emma last minute, when I was in a panic for a sitter. She asked great questions about my pup and what she was allowed (and not allowed) to do. Katie took her on walks and sent photos. I highly recommend her, she was absolutely wonderful.
