I love animals more than anything!

Pet care experience

I am a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital, and I love spending time with our patients! My favorite part of my job is comforting the animals during their ultrasounds and x-rays. I've also cared for animals my entire life, my own and for family and friends. My best friend of 17 years is a chunky little Terrier back home in Washington with my parents, and I learned senior care with him. I am also a former kennel worker at a doggy daycare which involved constant walks, feeding, clean-up, and large pack hike and occasionally emergency care/fight response, which I am very comfortable with. I have also worked on a dairy farm and surprisingly, goats and dogs are very similar! So that added to my skills as well. I am also just a natural animal lover- from dogs to donkeys, I am ecstatic to make animal friends.

Kacey is a wonderful cat-sitter! She offered to come meet my two cats before we left for vacation which was so effective in gaining kitty’s trust. She kept me updated daily with detailed reports and pictures. She communicated clearly and even accommodated last minute changes in our travel plans. I will definitely ask her to watch my kitties next time we go out of town.

Kacey was very conscientious and attentive to our kitty while we were out of town! We deeply appreciate her availability around the holidays, as we would otherwise have been in a tight spot. Thank you Kacey!

Kacey was great with my young and playful English Bulldog, Millie! She is very sweet and caring, and it was obvious how much she loves dogs. It was nice to see how excited Millie got when Kacey came to watch her for the second time. She even brought Millie her favorite toy (an empty plastic bottle) to play with! I'll definitely book Kacey again when my family visits Maine!

Safety, trust & environment

I believe that building trust with the critter is the most important part of safety. This can be as easy as letting them sniff before I touch, etc., so that they will listen better to commands in case of an emergency/will better let me help them. I always carry water with me to keep them hydrated and give lots of potty breaks after ensuring the outdoor area is safe and secure!

Information Kacey C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is people or dog aggressive so I know what to avoid on walks. For dog aggressive pups I stick to large open parks so we don't have to walk close by others. Also if I can give them treats or any dietary issues they have (-;

A typical day

I love talking to animals as I think it stimulates them mentally (and responds to their communications with us! Cats primarily meow for our benefit!) I love to walk in grassy parks with the dogs with lots of things to explore.
