Pet care experience
Plain & simple, I just love animals. I have always had an affinity for anything that walks on four legs... and honestly a dolphin & a monkey on two separate occasions. It’s the bipedal amorous types that remain a mystery to me. This is probably TMI, but due to a tough childhood, I developed an acute attention to detail as well as reading body language. I think that is so important when it comes to pet care because for the most part, that is their main outlet for communication.
Reviews
Kaitie was so great with our Lucy girl! This was Lucy’s first time being away from us since we adopted her a few months ago and Kaitie was super patient and understanding towards Lucy’s needs. By the end of the weekend our pup was so exhausted by all the fun activities! Kaitie was very diligent and detailed at providing us updates and checking in with us throughout her stay. We’d give her 10 stars if we could!!
Kaitie was great! She is lively and lovely, and was so good with our puppy Laika. Laika has a lot of energy and was very much showing off for Kaitie but she took it in stride and was so patient with him. She took him for a long, long walk and knew exactly how to get him to listen. She's fine tuned her 'system' with how best to care for dogs, with her cool belt that she takes on walks with dogs to her efficient treat bag. You can tell she is super comfortable and confident in what she does. She was also an extremely respectful guest and was thoughtful about our no shoes in the house rule, cleaned up when she didn't have to and left soothing music on for Laika before she left the house. Would definitely have her back!
Kaitie was amazing. Followed all my directions to the letter, prepped my dogs food ahead of time and kept to his medication schedule. There was an incident where another dog got a little too aggressive with mine at the park and Kaitie handled it very professionally and kept me informed throughout. I would 100% book her again.
Kaitie was amazing with Sasha! I had lots of picture updates and great communication. Sasha clearly had a great time and enjoyed all her walks. Kaitie left the house cleaner than when she showed up and was a really great guest. I highly recommend her! Thank you!
About Kaitie G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I first & foremost just want to make sure mine, as well as others', furbabies are happy & healthy. I'm very diligent in picking up on body language & cues to help communicate with our furry companions. My goal is always to leave homes as I found them, if not cleaner (no, I don't mean digging through closests for cleaning supplies). I'm also very careful in making sure to not give or feed pets anything that has not been deliberately approved by their hooman. My career path has molded me into being very proactive & calm in emergency situations as well. Though unfortunate, my roommate let one of my cats out earlier this year. It was devastating (don't worry, I got her), but I learned a lot from the experience. I was able to look into various resources as well as what to do for both cats AND dogs.
Home
Information Kaitie G. would like to know about your pet
What I like to prioritize most about my furry friends is if they have a history of any behaviors/gestures that can trigger a reaction from them. People can call the world soft all they want, but we literally cannot do enough for our little four peeted friends.
A typical day
I personally like discussing what each furbabe needs! I like to take my lieges for walks, playing in the backyard, and with their favorite toys inside. I even have a tv if they like to enjoy!
