Dog-Magnet that loves to cuddle
Pet care experience
****I work with non-smoking homes only***** I started dog-sitting for friends in Dallas when they began the adoption process for their baby from Russia. The process required they be gone for up to a 4 - 5 weeks at a time and they needed someone who they could trust to not only take care and love on their 4 legged baby but also take care of their home and be responsible and knowledgeable enough to take care of anything that needed to be handled. I soon became the 'go-to' friend to call if you were going out of town and needed a dog and house sitter. After moving to Orlando, it didn't take long to fill the same need for friends when they were traveling and needed someone trustworthy to watch after their 4 legged 'kids' and their homes. (I even have permanent keys for several!) Before the 'kids' are in my care, I take the time to meet with the pet parents and learn all I need to know about the routines, habits, and quirks of the 'kids'. I also ask the questions about the care of the home including mail pick-up, lawn maintenance, garbage schedules, etc. I do my due diligence so I can best care for your baby(ies). While in your home, your kids will get lots of morning loving, walks (if ok with their pet parents), fed and kept as close to your schedule as possible. The goal is to keep them entertained and exhausted so they do not miss you too quick! While your kids are in my care, you will also receive text messages, pictures and videos when appropriate. If desired, I can even initiate a facetime call for you and your 'kid'. As a guest in your home, I make sure I leave things as clean as or cleaner than when I arrive, including washing sheets so they are ready for your next guest. My schedule is somewhat flexible as I work for myself as well as a very flexible position. This allows me to be available to give your family members all the attention they need. Your dog will receive a minimum of a full hour of attention everyday including loving, walks, playtime and dinner time. Depending upon the situation, this will likely be far more, but does depend upon each individual situation. I love the dogs I care for! I look forward to taking care of your family member in the same loving, caring manner.
Reviews
Katy is good with my fur baby
Katy is so good with our three dogs
Katy was great with my cat Sammie! On time, reliable, and sent lots of action shots of my dog-like Siamese. Will definitely use her again!
Thank you Kate

Safety, trust & environment
In my home: Your dog will be treated like family. They will be able to snuggle with me on the sofa and sleep in their own bed right next to mine. If the owner prefers, they can also be crated overnight. In you home: I stick as close to your current schedule as possible. I will be coming back to my home office to work for a portion of my work day but will stop back in for potty breaks as agreed upon.
Home
Information Katy G. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to know if they have any aggressive tendencies, quirks (such as food or toy aggression), habits and schedule. I love all sizes and breeds but CANNOT have aggressive breads in my home due to HOA. (Pits, German Shepard, Rottweiler,etc)
A typical day
If okay with the pet parents, we will walk around the neighborhood. We will also enjoy lots of 'cuddle time' and play time to get out the extra energy.
