About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.
“We used Karin for a drop in visit when we were gone for the day. She was wonderful with my nervous dog. Happy pup, happy owner! We hope to have her come again next time we are away.”
“Keaton was so great! He was timely, responsible, communicative, and so sweet with our two cats. I was anxious about leaving them for a few days but not only did they totally warm up to Keaton, he fully took care of every task. I was actually able to enjoy vacation! I got updates with videos and pictures and knew our cats were well cared for. Couldn't ask for anything more!”
“Cate was so nice and willing to come whenever we needed her. She left a little note after she fed our cat, which was a nice little addition. I’d recommend Cate to anyone - We will definitely have her back to watch our cat again!”
