Let me watch your babies!

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs of all ages and sizes since I was a kid. Over the years, I’ve become highly skilled at ready dog and cat body language. This means I am able to tell how your fur baby is feeling and how to proceed. This also means you can count on me to provide effective cooperative care for your cat, dog, bunny, or whoever you call family! If you request pictures, just know I make it my personal mission to take the best pics possible! I want you to have photos of your babies living their best life for years to come!

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your pets like my own! This means balanced, positive reinforcement based training techniques and cooperative care where the pet is allowed choices and autonomy during a potentially stressful time away my mom/dad! I’ve found this helps to dramatically reduce any stress or anxiety they may feel during babysitting time. I help them engage in a variety of different forms of enrichment (snuffle mats, new toys, new walking areas, etc) but if your pet has any limitations, let me know and I will happily accommodate! I love taking dogs on long hikes! If you’re out of town for the day and want your fur baby to have some great outside time while you’re gone, I’m your guy! As an active person myself, I’ve been too many of Boulder’s near by trails that I would love to show to your doggo! Again, if they have any physical limitations, let me know! We will stick to even ground around the neighborhood! I’m also very experienced with reading a dog’s signs of discomfort and/or overstimulation and will adjust accordingly! Over the years, I’ve had a lot of experience with animals that may not necessarily be able to be cared for in the same room. Have a Husky that gets just a bit too excited when he sees the cats? Two cats that hate each other? Does one pet have food guarding issues? No one takes it more seriously than me. I treat each of these scenarios as a “no-mistakes” case, taking every precaution to ensure all individuals are safe and stress free!

Information Kat M. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know up front (if you do) wether your dog or cat can be reactive and what their triggers are. I am open to watching pets with these sorts of behavior and if it is a level I’m confident I can handle, we can talk safety and routines for the time I’m watching them! Having a consistent sitter is ideal, so hopefully your pet and I can be fast friends and take a load off your mind when it comes to having to leave them behind occasionally.

A typical day

I love active dogs, lazy dogs, and everyone in between! Is your pup use to long hikes in the mountains every weekend? Do they go on regular runs through the neighborhood? Maybe they just love to cuddle on the couch and watch t.v.! Whatever your doggo’s energy level, I’m happy to provide any and all outlets they need when you’re away so you can rest assured you’ll come home to a calm and happy dog! I like to bring a bag of toys over to give them something new and fun to engage with and make staying with a stranger a little less stressful! I’ve have something for the lightest to the heaviest chewers, including Kong toys and snuffle mats. Letting your dog just be a dog and engage in natural behaviors while in my care is my highest priority! I’d love to take them to sniff spots or other safe, fenced in areas to be off leash! Arrangements can be made if your pup isn’t a fan of having other dog friends!
