About Katie

My name is Katie and I am from the US, living in Germany since October 2017. 

My happy place is with dogs and my favorite thing to do is make dogs happy. I have experience with sitting dogs, training dogs (at home and in college for kids with disabilities), walking dogs at the animal shelter, and of course having my own dogs at home (my whole life). 

There is also Bili, my sweet dachshund miniature pinscher mix that would be giving your dog some extra company while you are away. 

My partner, Jonas, lives with me and loves dogs just as much as I do. 

We live near the woods and go on walks often. I also work from home basically 100% so the dogs are very rarely alone.  Our house is a tiny house (with the test project from Schorndorf city) but still plenty of room for the dogs and a nice garden/yard around the house (not fenced but there is room for them to hang out outside with us). 

You can expect many updates and pictures during the stay. The dogs will get of course a lot of love, care and the right amount of exercise for their age and energy level. 

We are open to all dogs that are fully vaccinated. Small dogs are great for Bili, but big dogs that are accepting of little dogs are also of course very welcome. 

Please feel free to ask me any questions at all. We are happy to arrange a meet and greet and let you see our house. 

Looking forward to meeting new pups!

Katie was an amazing caretaker of our beloved Rosie dog. Super communicative and understanding and I felt so comfortable leaving Rosie with her and her family. She’s very professional and kind. Highly recommend.

Specific Skills

I speak English & German
+20 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have had dogs of my own my whole life, of many different breeds and personalities, and most from animal shelters. I know how to work with all dog types and am happy to address any specific needs. I have sat other people's dogs for many years, starting in the US via a similar site called Rover. Most in Germany are booked personally, but in the US I always had perfect customer ratings. The dogs always come back :). I have experience training dogs, both my dogs at home and professionally. At university I trained a dog for a child with a disability (the program is called 4 Paws 4 Ability) and I have trained all of my own dogs. I have experience walking dogs at the animal shelter - I am a member of the Tierheim in Schorndorf and Ludwigsburg and at both I am trained for walking the dogs and did so often in Ludwigsburg before covid.
