Hi there - thank you for considering me, but before I tell you all about me and my experience, I would like to note that we have 3 resident kitties on-premises. They are dog friendly and get along well with dogs who are kitty friendly. Hello Pet Parents! My name is Kat and I am beyond excited to get to meet you and your pet(s). If you need someone who will love your pet(s) as much as you do when you are away on vacation, traveling for work or you simply need a breather, you can depend on me to be that person. I am patient, attentive, and reliable. My goal is to keep your pet both happy and safe in your absence. My pet care experience is very vast. I grew up with pets in my childhood home and carried on the "tradition" even when I moved out on my own. I am currently the pet momma of two rescues, a dog named Harley and a cat named Marmalade. Harley was in a shelter for over 6 months and was deemed "unadoptable" due to behavioral issues. I was told he would not even allow anyone to touch him due to his issues. He adjusted within a few days of coming home and has developed into a dog that cannot get enough belly rubs since we became soulmates. I have experience in caring for senior pets. Before I adopted Harley, 3 of my beloved pets went over the Rainbow Bridge. I had them from pup/kitten life stages to senior stages, so administering medication, and helping senior pets be ambulatory is not a problem for me. Taking care of your pet would be a pleasure for me, as I am going to be 100% devoted to the care of them, just as I do with my own. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility during the day to play with your pup and make sure they get potty breaks. This also makes it convenient for me to do daycare and or board as well. My yard is unfenced, but your dog would never be unleashed when we into the yard. I have a large yard with lots of shade and trees, and my own dog when he goes into the yard is supervised and never goes or is left alone. There is lots of space for lounging in the shade out of the sun. I currently have a work-from-home schedule. This means that the majority of my days are spent in my home office, so I can easily take the dog outside for potty breaks and such as needed. If I needed to do a home visit, would be able to arrange that with some schedule changes if needed. I do not have a fenced yard, but it is quite vast. No dog even my own goes in the yard unleashed. I also require a harness while your dog is in my care, especially for those that are pullers, this avoids any harm to their necks as well as makes them easier to manage on walks, especially if I am walking in packs.
