Safety, trust & environment

We have a fully fenced back yard ready for playtime! Our mini schnauzer is friendly and enjoys meeting new friends. Meet and greets would be necessary for any pets staying with us.

Information Kaitlin K. would like to know about your pet

Before dog sitting/walking, I would like to know if they are dog friendly and would be able to go for walks. I also would like to know if they typically wear a muzzle as a saftey precaution when out. I also require that they be up to date on vaccinations.

A typical day

I love taking the dogs on walks through the parks around Defiance. We can walk around your neighborhood, or wherever your pet is most comfortable.

Pet care experience

I have been around and cared for dogs cats and some large animals since I was a child. Currently we have a miniature schnauzer, Mira, a bearded dragon, Rosie, and some fish. I have house sat in the past, tasks including caring for pets(dogs, cats, exotics, horses, cattle, ect.) I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes, provided they are relatively friendly, I do not mind timid or slow to warm up pets. I am comfortable with all activity levels and will provide lots of playtime. I have a bachelor's degree from The University of Findlay in equine studies. I was a horse barn manager for a few years at an equine therapy center. I completed a veterinary science program at Miami Valley Career Tech Center, so I am skilled in various medical skills including first aid, CPR, injections and medication administration. I have also volunteered at the Wood County Humane Society.

Kaitlin did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 cats while we were away. She tended to all their little needs and then some and even watered my flowers! The cats were very comfortable with her. Would definitely book her again!

Kaitlin was great with my 2 cats! I was worried about leaving my 14 year old hyperthyroid cat while I traveled, but she handled his feeding and medication great and kept me up to date on his symptoms and demeanor every day. My younger cat is very independent, but Kaitlin made sure he got lots of brushing and treats and I came home to 2 very happy kitties with full bellies, and clean water and litter :-)

Kaitlin did an awesome job checking up on our dog for us! She stayed the full time, sent update photos, and communicated with us after the last visit! Would highly recommend.
