● I go to the gym 5x per week in the mornings. Usually gone for about 2hrs. If your dog is going to be anxious when I leave please know I will crate them. ● I'm home all day. I usually wake at 7am and the last outing of the day is around 10 pm. All dogs will be crated during the night, in most cases. Please assure your dog is comfortable in a crate if that is not your usual routine.

Treats too please 😋

Pet care experience

I am back to petsitting. Had to take some time off, 2 yrs, to care for some family members. Hoping to have some of my previous pet parents find me again. ‐------------------------------- ● I have over 40+ yrs of animal care experience. This allows me to provide responsible care for your pet. Please provide detailed instructions on what works best for your pet. ● Daily pictures sent on Rover and occasionally a video. ● Neutered/spayed dog friendly dogs always welcome. ● No pee pads, house trained only. ● Vaccination records are REQUIRED. Just send me a current Vet receipt. ● Dogs that show poor behavior are crated or placed in an exercise pen. Food and water will be given at all times in the pen or crate. ● Poor behavior may include the following -- marking, anxiety, bothering other dogs. ● Crate friendly, well behaved Dogs are always welcome. I offer a family environment and treat our guests like extended family. I do NOT crate train. All dogs will sleep in a crate, exceptions can be made, please provide or I have some that are 18x24" and 23x36" ● Because we take walks regardless of the weather a bath can be provided for a nominal fee. Please don't bring a dirty or matted dog to my home.

Katie took very good care of Sasha. She was flexible when I had to make a change and has a nice environment for dogs to enjoy.

Katie is a great communicator. She kept me informed of how my dog was doing. She sent me daily updates /photos/ videos of my dog. Her home was really clean and tidy.
