Highlights
Pet care experience
Balanced Dogs For Balanced Humans
Dogs are an amazing mirror of how we are feeling. I believe everyone wants to feel calm and balanced and I try to approach every dog interaction with this in mind. My lifestyle isn't great to own my own my own pet (I travel out of town about once a month) so I love to hang out with other people's instead :) *Unfortunately I am allergic to cats* so I only provide in-home sitting for dog-only households, and prefer extended care (like while someone is on a trip) to 1-day daycare type situations.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Home is a special place! I treat everyone's home with utmost respect. Growing up in the midwest, being a polite guest and generous host were some of the most important things and I carry those values with me today.
Ratings and reviews
We have used Katy several times now, and she is always fantastic. Our dog really enjoys spending time with her. I find her very trustworthy, great at communicating, takes wonderful care of our home, and she sends the best photos of our dog so we can see how happy she is being able to stay home instead of going to a kennel. I highly recommend Katy!
Katy was extremely communicative and professional. Our pups and home were well cared for while we traveled. I definitely recommend Katy for all your pet care needs.
Katy is wonderful. She always take street care of Bowie and keeps the house spotless.
Georgie absolutely loved her time with Katy! It was so nice to have a sitter who paid such close attention to my dog’s needs and sent daily updates of the great time they were having. When I returned home I could barely tell anyone had been staying in my place it was so spotless and tidy, exactly as I left it. Will definitely be booking Katy again, she’s very attentive and respectful, and Georgie would say she’s a very fun adventure buddy.
Thanks, Katy! You were wonderful, as always!
Katy was incredible at making my new rescue pup feel safe and comfortable right away. I recently adopted my dog from a shelter and needed to travel soon after, and she was still quite very anxious and fearful. Katy handled her with so much care and patience so she could continue to relax and settle in in my absence. This was my first time using Rover and having an in-home sitter, and Katy gave me complete peace of mind throughout the full experience. I’m so grateful for her help and will look forward to working with her again in the future.

Schedule
I run my own business in music licensing which is a big challenge and super rewarding. One of the best parts is that it allows me to design my own schedule every day of the week so I'm able to plan around a dog's routine.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsKaty can host up to 1 pet per night
- It's great to be aware of any particular training you'd like me to keep consistent while they're in my care, and of course schedules and likes/dislikes and how dog to dog interactions usually go.
