About Katie

As an avid dog lover, I grew up with a border collie (Bingo) and a golden retriever (Sunny), taking them on daily walks, taking care of them, and most enjoyably, playing frisbee with them. During the first year of COVID, I fostered a rescue dog Samantha and cared for her post spay surgery, provided daily exercise (and she needed a lot!), and trained her for 4 months until she found her furever home. Since then, I have dog-sat for and walked many pups of friends and acquaintances (see photos of my many furry friends!).

My experience means I know the importance of a good dog lifestyle and how vital it is that dogs get the exercise, attention, and affection they need to be happy. I’m looking to fill my downtime with some dog love as I’m a big fan of all types of dogs and have lots of love and energy to provide. I live downtown in Toronto on the east end and am flexible in where I can meet. I'm currently awaiting a new full time job start in September, and have a ton of open availability during the weekdays. I'm typically a morning person and would be able to care for pets between 9am and 4pm with some flexibility.

Please let me know if you have any questions, I’d be more than happy to answer and chat.

Specific Skills

I speak English
+5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I grew up caring for and training a border collie and golden retriever. Since then, I have dog sat and walked for many of my friends pups! Most recently I fostered a rescue dog for four months, caring for her post spay and training behaviour and creating good habits for her, including daily exercise and fostering an environment of affection and safety. She then went on to her furever home where these habits lent themselves to being comfortable off leash and having manners when interacting with other dogs and with food! As a result, I understand when dogs are still in learning mode and will do my best to tailor my services to your dogs needs!
