About: I have raised dogs since I was 10 years old. I have had various breeds from poodles to pit bulls. I cared for family member dogs when they were away. This is how I earned my allowance as a young child and teenager. Currently I have a 1yr. old red moyen poodle. I am totally in love w/my Ruby girl.We have gone tru much training together. My last dog Gigi lived to 17 yrs. and had some Med. issues at the of life, so equiped to deal w/senior dogs as well.precious I am now retired so I have plenty of free time. Ruby has standing dates every Saturday @Dog Park, plus we go on walks and have play-time with her many toys.Your dogs will be welcome to join in as much, or as little as they like. Ruby knows all on leash commands and is also crate-trained, but does not stay in one while at home. It would be available should your dog need it. Dogs are allowed on the furn. and on the bed, as this is where we cuddle & get kisses. My home is dog friendly in all ways, Ruby has a special fenced-in backyard just for her & playmates.Your dogs will LOVE-IT HERE !!!
About: I’ve been caring for all types of animals my entire life. I have always had a dog in my home along with cats. I’ve dealt with more than just dogs and cats. My home has always been filled with lizards, rabbits, horses, hamsters, and any other critter you could possibly think of. In high school I did 4-H and FFA. I have also worked professionally with animals. Back home in Colorado I worked in a boarding facility and helped out in the vets office. There we also groomed dogs so I can do toe nail trims and haircuts as well. I currently work for animal services so I deal with all sorts of animals there. I have seen many animals and have dealt with everything from licking love bugs to the shy type. I currently work as a paramedic on a rotating schedule so I’m available different days of the week to do walks and drop ins and day care I have a friendly dog and a wild kitty who loves to run around with dogs. I’m in an apartment and I’m right across the street from a great park and dog park
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, pet sat around my neighborhood, throughout college I walked multiple dogs and stayed at people's homes with their dogs, and now own 2 of my own! I absolutely love dogs and expect the highest care if someone was watching my dogs, so that's what I promise to provide to other's dogs as well. I work from home so I am able to go over to walk them or spend time with them at any point in the day. My husband and I live together, so I am available for overnight stays at your house to keep your dogs in their own element while you are out of town as well. I care for other's pets like my own. I understand the love an owner has for their dogs, and I care for them as much as I would expect someone to care for my dogs. I know the stress of finding a reliable sitter while you may be out of town or working long hours, so I provide updates and photos when I get there and leave so there are no questions on your end.

East Tampa pet parents share their Rover experiences
Katherine was great with my cats while I was away for two days. She kept me well informed about how they were eating, their well-being, etc. She also sent me lots of great photos of them! Especially important is that Katherine spent quality time with the cats in addition to caring for their needs. Katherine will certainly be highly recommended to my family and friends.
Kate took such great care of our Nyla and went above and beyond to make sure we always knew how every visit went. She sent many pictures to us, gave many cuddles, treats, and play time. Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter💕
