Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and have cared for many pets of people in my community. I work from home and spend my days gardening and going on long walks - so it is an ideal environment for dogs to come and get a lot of attention and exercise. Friends turn to me when they need someone to petsit, as I love it so much and provide a very comfortable dog habitat. I would have pets if I didn't travel internationally for my nonprofit occasionally. I work from home for a health nonprofit and I have a large yard that is fenced in and a flexible schedule that makes me an ideal pet watcher. I am responsible and loving towards all animals, but have a very special bond with dogs, as I grew up with them. They are welcome everywhere in the home - on the furniture. I live with several other adults who also love dogs and help provide care whenever we have dogs in the house that we are watching for friends. I'm a great listener both to the pet owners and to the animals themselves.
Reviews
Katy provides an excellent dog boarding service! Omar got to go out on hikes, play outdoors and socialize warmly with Katy and her super friendly household. He came back to us happily tired, clean and well-loved.
Katy was fantastic with Millie! She went above and beyond, taking her to parks, on hikes, and treating her as part of the family. We would absolutely book with her again.
My dog Pebbles stayed with Katy for 3 nights and I could tell that he had an awesome time with her and her friendly housemates. Katy is responsive, flexible, and kind. Her space is also spacious and lovely. I would definitely book Katy to look after Pebbles whenever I have to leave town in the future!
Katy has watched my shepherd mix, Dela, more times than I can count. Dela loves hanging out with Katy on her little urban farm and I love knowing that Dela is not only safe and cared for—she’s having a great time. Katy’s lifestyle is perfect for watching dogs and she always goes above and beyond the make sure Dela is comfortable and looked after. I can’t recommend Katy more.
