Dogs = happiness
Pet care experience
I've been a dog lover/owner for my entire life, and I've always jumped at every chance to petsit for friends and family (because the more dogs in your life, the better!). I have 2 years' experience working as a caretaker and dog trainer at an organization that trains German Shepherds as psychiatric service dogs for disabled veterans. Through them, I had the opportunity to foster a puppy, who is now working as a service dog - it was an incredible experience that taught me so much about training and caring for dogs. I have experience working with reactive dogs in public settings, and a background in training using positive reinforcement, so I'm confident that I can handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. As a student who can't have a dog of my own at the moment, taking care of yours is my dream job!
Reviews
Hello, I am writing to give my testimonial concerning my experience with Katee dog sitting my dog, Chico. I have an active Jack Russel named Chico who requires an equally active partner. I have in the past employed Katee to watch Chico for an extended period of time as I am a firefighter and work a 24 hr schedule. I have come to know and respect Katee's love for animals and her special connection to Chico. It would take too long to express all the special qualities Katee has, such as her volunteering at a German Shepard shelter etc.. I would totally recommend Katee for anyone searching for a caring and special person to watch and care for your furry loved one.

Information Kaitlyn L. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds! It would be great to know any specific commands you use with your dog, or any "rules" you want enforced - I want to stay consistent with your training methods!
A typical day
Just let me know what your dog likes best - long walks? fetch? tug? I'm up for anything! I also have training experience, so I can give your dog a mental workout along with a physical one.
