All my friends are dogs ♥️🐶

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Katy! I’m a former volunteer at a New Hampshire animal shelter, recently moved to California, and have grown up with and around dogs my whole life. I’d love to walk and provide enrichment for your dog when you can’t be there! I have experience with many breeds due to the shelter environment I volunteered in, have learned to “pack walk” six dogs at once, and recently completed a course in animal CPR/emergency muzzling/first aid. I am infinitely curious about animal behavior, training, and socialization, and spend a lot of my free time researching ways to make dogs lives better.

Katy is the absolute best! She is one of the few people I have trusted to walk and care for my dogs. Katy is reliable, trustworthy, patient, and knowledgeable! Katy is incredibly kind and will truly care for you pet as if they were her own! Katy has years of experience handling all types of dogs from her time volunteering at our local animal shelter and is quite dog savvy! She will take the time to talk to you about your dog and learn your preferred tools for walking. I highly recommend her!!! -My dog Blake instantly became her best friend! ☺️

There is no one who I trust as a dog sitter more than Katy. She has been taking care of my 1 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Gus, when I am away for almost a year near now. When she watches him, she always makes sure he gets enough exercise, plays with him for hours and spoils him with love. She is extremely responsible and loving of all dogs. I highly recommend Katy as a dog caregiver!

Katy is amazing with dogs! She volunteers at an animal shelter with me and her compassion for helping animals is truly amazing. She can contribute her handling skills as well as love for dogs to any clients pet. I highly recommend Katy to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog walker.

Safety, trust & environment

I will not be caring for dogs in my own home, but safety is a top priority for me. I understand the importance of spacial boundaries with dogs & will always use a leash unless you are working on something specific training wise with your dog. Your dog must have 100% recall to be off leash with me. I do not go to dog parks.

Information Katy C. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any behavioral issues? (Not a problem, would just like to be aware for safety reasons) What commands does your dog know?? Does your dog have off leash recall?

A typical day

I would be happy to play your dog’s favorite game, go for a pup cup, splash in a local watering hole, work on training you’re trying to maintain, or just go for a walk! Let me know what your pup enjoys.
