Hello, I have been a trusted animal caretaker for many years. I have provided several services; including pet/house sitting, dog walking, and dog boarding. Currently, I am available for local dog-walking and home visits for folks away from home with daily pet needs. I have loved dogs since childhood, had dogs growing up, and also had a pet rabbit. Animals seem to warm up to me quickly, and I am intuitive about their needs. I love learning how to keep dogs happy because they provide so much for us. I have many years of experience working primarily with dogs. I have also been responsible for dogs with unique needs like anxiety and other medical/medication needs. I have experience administering medications and following special instructions for pets. I have also worked in healthcare for 20 years, and it seems my education and training helped me understand how to keep dogs safe, healthy, and happy. I completed two graduate degrees in CA, where I have lived for 10 years, and was born and raised in a suburb near Cleeland, Ohio. I respect the people I work with and understand the need for trusted help with your home and your pets. I can't wait to meet more furry friends!! Ready for many local walks with your beloved dogs, we all need the fresh air : ) - Kate
