About: Hi! I'm Katie—a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have a soft spot for senior pups and understand the patience and gentleness they need, especially from caring for my own dog(Shadow, a German Shepard/Husky mix) in his later years and sitting for other older pets. I’m also an active person who loves walking, running, hiking, and, yes—even throwing slobbery tennis balls! Whether your dog needs a slow stroll and some TLC or a high-energy play session, I’m here to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ve worked with several dog breeds, including Boxers, Pit Bulls, and Blue Heelers, and I understand that each dog has its own personality and needs. I’m always mindful of whether a dog is social or prefers space, and I adjust accordingly to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog loves meeting others or needs a calm, one-on-one environment, I’m here to provide thoughtful, attentive care tailored to them. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently graduated from Texas State and am spending the summer studying for my physical therapy licensure exam, which means I can easily adjust my days to fit your pet’s routine. Whether your dog needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m available and happy to help. Spending time with animals is a great balance to studying, and I genuinely enjoy it! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully—feeding times, walking schedules, medications, and preferred activities—and I always take the time to give them attention, affection, and play. I make sure their space stays clean and safe, and I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

“So grateful to have Abby as my walker! My little dude is SO shy and she has been so patient with him and gives me a peace of mind knowing he’s taken care of while I’m at work ❤️”
About: Animals sense I'm a big momma, and trust me, I have my own 3 beautiful dogs and want to help others who may not have the extra time to be a friend in need. I am a full time at home mom of teenagers and like to volunteer to help my community. I also homeschool so I'm flexible to change schedules. I prefer letting pets be a guide, my experience is most like their home and routine so I let the pet take it's time on their turf to trust and feel safe.
