Pet care experience

I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, snakes, lizards, rodents, birds, and fish! I have yet to meet an animal that doesn't like me and vice versa. I previously worked at a vet clinic/ kennel for a few months in Iowa, we then spent 2 years in North Carolina before moving to Arizona, then back to this great state I grew up in. My husband and I fostered 14 dogs from March 2018- May 2019 so I have experience with a large variety of breeds, backgrounds, and health conditions. He was also a Military Working Dog Handler for 3 years. I currently own a Border Collie that we are training to be a cadaver dog and a Bernese Mountain Dog that we are training for migraine detection and alert. I also have experience doing basic grooming such as baths, nail trimming, and ear cleaning, even with difficult dogs. I do have experience with Military Working Dogs (we even adopted one!) and other working dogs that are high drive, so if that sounds like your pup, no worries! I have reliable transportation and am flexible with my scheduling. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for considering me. -Note: all dogs do need to be kennel trained for the safety of your dog and our household. If I need to leave the dog unattended for any reason they will be kenneled temporarily to keep them from getting in to anything or injuring themselves from separation anxiety. *I will not be taking clients with fleas. This goes for Daycare, Boarding, and Drop-in visits. If your pet does have fleas, I will charge extra to buy protection and preventative for my own dogs, furniture, and professional pest control. Flea charge for drop-ins is an additional $15/visit as inconvenience pay. With Boarding and Daycare there is zero tolerance and if your pet has fleas, I can assist in finding a new sitter. *There is an additional fee for pick up and drop off for both Boarding and Daycare, so please plan accordingly when booking.

Katarina did an amazing job. She asked great questions and made sure to get to know our dog prior to boarding. She took care of our dog for 4 nights and we really appreciated the daily photos and updates on things they did during the day. Easy to communicate with and convenient location. Would recommend

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
