About Katie

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I currently work full-time for the Humane Society of the United States and will be relocating to Germantown in January. I'm seeking out opportunities in my new neighborhood to meet, love on and spoil new pets! I have been a huge pet person ever since I can remember and have been working as a part-time dog walker/pet sitter for the past 10 years, running my own company through the duration of that time frame. I adore all animals and will go above and beyond the expectations of my clients to ensure they are fully at ease while their beloved pet is in my care. I am a very friendly, compassionate, honest and sensitive person, which I feel is necessary when dealing with any type of animal as they can sense this. I am also a very active, timely and trustworthy person which will allow you to feel completely at ease when away. Instead of worrying about your pet, you'll be able to actually enjoy your vacation and not have to spend time worrying. I will give them the love and attention they deserve and desire. I have experience with a multitude of dog breeds including: Rottweiler, Yorkie, Cavalier King Charles, Labs, Staffordshire Terriers, Poodles, Shih Tzu, Cairn Terriers, Boxers, Pit Bulls, Basset Hounds, Australian Shepherds, Boston Terriers, mutts, and many others!

Katie has been pet sitting my dog, Mia, for about 7 years. She is everything you could ever want in a pet sitter: caring, reliable, honest, flexible, understands pet behavior, patient, and passionate about animals and their welfare. She has great communication and always sends updates and pictures. Katie has bent over backwards to accommodate my dog during last minute emergencies. I always trust Mia is in amazing hands when she's under Katie's watch. And Mia loves her!
