Pet care experience
My name is Kat and I love animals. When I was 8 years old my neighbor taught me how to walk his dog, a beautiful Rottweiler named Bear. I would walk Bear after-school and this because my way of supplementing my allowance. During college I worked at the Santa Ana Zoo, I helped prepare diets for the zoo animals, clean enclosures and assist with medication and care of farm animals and primates (Santa Ana Zoo is also know as "the monkey zoo". From there I volunteers at Rancho Las Lomas, where I helped take care of 4 tigers, a small pack of alpacas, 2 servals, 2 caracals and 1 lynx. In my personal life I have cared for rabbits, tarantulas, fish, cats, dogs, hamsters and hedgehogs.
Reviews
Kat was communicative and professional. She was attentive and caring towards our 4 cats. She sent detailed updates and lots of pictures which we appreciated. We would consider booking her again.
Kat was great. She went above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable and happy when she was mopey about us being out of town. I would book her again in a heartbeat.
No Problems with her, she seems to genuinely care.
Kat is an animal lover who will treat your dog like he/she is a member of her family. My favorite story about Kat's devotion to animals is when she rescued her current cat. If you are reading this thinking she adopted her cat from a pet rescue, big deal: that's not the kind of rescue Kat did. On her way to work she drove by an abandoned , terrified kitten in the middle of a busy street. Kat pulled over and stopped traffic (at great risk to her own safety), took the kitten to the nearest vet, paid for his treatment and literally saved his life! She will go that extra mile for any animal which in my estimation makes her an ideal dog caregiver.

Information Kat D. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know your pet's temperament and preferences. Are they shy or outgoing? Do they have any favorite places to go? Is there any behaviors that I should watch out for or be aware of?
A typical day
Your pet's safety and comfort are my priorities. I believe animal training is just as important as animal care. I believe it strong, positive reinforcement, never negative. With me your dog will go on a walk that is safe and fun. If your dog is comfortable, I would love to run with them.
