College student who loves animals

Pet care experience

I love dogs and cats! I absolutely love playing with dogs and walking them. I can take your dog for a nice long walk and make sure they get all the exercise they need. Your dog will love me. I worked as a kennel attendant for almost 2 years at an animal hospital, so I have experience handling dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I have experience administering medications ranging from eye drops to ear medications and more. I am now in my junior year of college at Rutgers, it is my first year there after I got my Associate's degree in biology at RVCC. I am planning on becoming a Physician Assistant. I had 2 dogs (two big goldens) before my sister moved away to California and brought them with her. I am good at handling larger breeds and I’m used to them. I am attentive when needing to take certain precautions after surgery or for other reasons. I have experience with dogs from all walks of life- from newborn puppies to senior dogs, etc. I recently got a kitten and her name is Beemo. I am attentive to animals with any special diets or needs, so if there are any concerns you may have let me know. Don’t be shy when it comes communicating with me about your best friend, I’ll treat him/her as if they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment

When I am dog walking I am cautious of other dogs (in case they are not nice to each other), and attentive to my surroundings so I am prepared in case the dog I'm walking suddenly wants to chase after a car or squirrel. Then once we get back from the walk, I refill their water bowl so they have fresh water. When I am dog sitting, I make sure the pups are taken care of- I make sure they are fed, make sure they always have fresh water, make sure they get their daily exercise and I give them lots of love/ pets. For stop in visits with cats I make sure to feed them, play with them with their favorite toys, and if they are outgoing/ comfortable with me I pet them. Some cats are more shy and that's fine, I respect their space and let them warm up to me on their own time.

Information Kaitlyn D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets are on any medication or have recently had surgery or anything out of the ordinary that I would need to pay special attention to.

A typical day

With the dogs I watch, I'll play fetch with them and toss their favorite toys or sticks outside. If they are a more energetic breed I will take them for a long walk a few times a day. Sometimes with younger puppies I like to train them for fun and teach them new tricks, I've taught a few pups "down" and "shake," and I love learning as I go how to teach them new tricks.
