Information Kaitlyn O. would like to know about your pet

I am skilled and compassionate with special needs dogs as I owned one for 8 years and she was my whole life. Please let me know any special care, allergies, preferences, or anything you can to make the dog more comfortable. (ie, is your dog a snuggle bunny or would he/she prefer her own space)

A typical day

Nice long walk to start the day, maybe a bit of running depending on the dogs energy level. Always reinforcing basic commands and manners and rewarding pups with treats. Lots of parks nearby, the Monroe Street cemetery is always nice and shady when it's just too hot.

Pets

Dogs are family and treated as such

Pet care experience

Dogs are drawn to me. I'm able to coax the shyest pup into snuggles, baths, and walks. I have carried my dogs when they are tired and can sense when they are not feeling well. I have potty trained, crate trained, stair trained, and off leash trained my babies. My love Piglet was a special needs dog with allergies, partial blindness, and separation anxiety. I am skilled and compassionate with special needs, medication, and even return to activity after injury or surgery due to my training as a doctor of physical therapy. I was a full time physical therapist for 8 years and now I'm working part time. I love dogs and would much rather spend the majority of my time taking care of pups who need it. I no longer have my own dogs, but my whole life revolved around them when I did. Pups potty first in my house. I have a fully fenced backyard (6 feet, sturdy wood) with green grass, a sprinkler, and room to run. I have wood floors so I don't worry about accidents, and my house is neat and tidy so naughty pups can't hurt themselves. Pets are allowed on all furniture, unless of course, owners prefer not. Your pup will receive all the cuddles and attention they want, or as much space as they need, as I have 3 separate bedrooms.

Kaitlyn was wonderful! Unfortunately we did have an emergency with our cat happen while we were away and Kaitlyn was so amazing getting him to the vet and helping us through a very difficult situation. We are forever grateful for her. Both our animals and house were very well taken care of. We will rebook in the future :)

Kaitlyn was awesome! Gave regular feedback and did well with my active dog and my not active older dog. We will definitely use her again. She even washed our sheets before leaving. So lovely trusting who we leave our dogs with!
