Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog friendly apartment building! Although there is no fenced in area, there are many places to walk in the neighborhood. I have taken the steps to dog-proof my own apartment, as well. When it comes to caring for a pet in someone’s home, I take extra precaution to follow any rules & directions in order to keep your pet safe.

I’m a very active person so I would love to take your dog on walks, check out some nearby parks & play with them, of course!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs— large and small, puppies and seniors— since I was very young! Neighbors and friends have often relied on me to check in on their pets during their busy days, as well as care for them during vacations, long weekends, etc. I have experience caring for my 13-year old, 110 lb Golden Retriever back at home in Ohio!!

Katy took incredible care of Bella! Bella had a last minute emergency right before the visit and required medication during her stay, and Katy was so accommodating and attentive to her needs. She was super communicative, sent regular photo updates, and made sure Bella was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Bella came home happy, healthy, and loved. We will definitely be rebooking with Katy!

Katy is so friendly and was very attentive to my pup during his stay. I could tell he really enjoyed it! She sent daily pics, kept in touch, and was quick to respond. Highly recommend!

Katy was amazing! We always feel nervous leaving DJ with anyone and Katy was super responsive/communicated with us daily with pictures and updates about DJ. Knowing she grew up with a golden also helped us feel more at ease! Highly recommend Katy!
