Highlights
Pet care experience
From 4-H to the Family Dog!
I’ve taken care of pets of all shapes and sizes: fish, chickens, goats, horses, and of course cats and dogs! I started working with dogs and training them when I was 7 years old in county 4-H, and then when I was in high school I assisted with puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I helped raisers socialize young puppies from 10 weeks to 18 months before they went back for further training. I’ve helped family and friends raise puppies they can live with and love, and my own dogs have been the best part of my life. I’m a current graduate student at Embry-Riddle, and I’m reliable, safe, and experienced in animal care. I’d love to work with you and your fuzzy family members!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I make sure to keep as close to the expected routine as possible whenever I pet sit. Everyone likes to know when they have to get up in the morning or when breakfast is coming, and your pets are no different. I’m comfortable working with dogs of varying personalities, and can understand when they might be more open to play or socialization, versus when they just need some calm and relaxation.
Ratings and reviews
I have know Kate for many years, and have seen the true love she has for animals. She's more likely to know your dog's name than to remember yours. Kat has taken care of my dogs many times. They LOVE her. She is comfortable handling both large and small dogs, and will treat your pet with care. I would not hesitate to leave any of my animals in Kate's care.
Kaitlyn watched our significant animal count (2-horses, 2-pet pigs, 4-cats) on our acreage for two weeks while we were in Italy last Fall. She was fantastic! She sent daily photos and provided some much needed playtime for the cooped up cats, two of who are used to going outside. If she can successfully hold the fort on our menagerie, she can manage whatever you've got. 5-stars. Recommend.

Schedule
I work early shifts, so I’m available most of the afternoon and Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I love taking walks in the early morning, before it gets too hot and the sidewalk is still nice and comfortable. My favorite thing is letting the dog set the pace, and sniff to their heart’s content. I can visit most homes in Prescott and Prescott Valley during the workday if needed, and have flexibility for other events or longer trips if needed.
