Hi! My name is Kate and I am a massive animal lover. I grew up with everything from fish to horses, birds to bunnies and cats to dogs! **Please note that I do take more than one or two dogs at a time. I will ALWAYS disclose this to you. I do not take aggressive dogs. I firmly believe that other dogs in the house helps encourage play and keeps them happy and healthy.** I have pet sat for many of my friends throughout the years and I just love spending as much time with animals as I can. Currently, I personally own a puppy named Elektra. I am a student at UCSD with a pre-med/pre-vet major and I am a professional horseback rider. Animals are my life! I live in a condo with a small run. My dog, Elektra, is lovely with other dogs and loves to play. I have been dog sitting and boarding for 3 years with over 10 different pups and I’d love to meet your dog/dogs! Throughout my life, I have fostered (and adopted) cats and dogs for about 7 years. I have completed basic puppy training with my dog and we are on our way to become AKC GC certified and ADA Service Dog compliant! I welcome all dogs of all shapes and sizes into my home. Sometimes, during stays, I will have multiple dogs staying at my place. If this is a problem, please inform me prior to booking! Of course, I will always disclose if another dog will be staying with yours. Detailed Pet Past: When I was born, I was brought into a home with three dogs, and ever since then, my house has been bustling with creatures. I love having a full house of animals; they are the best roommates you can hope for! For the first part of my life, I only ever had Airedale Terriers. When I was in eighth grade I started to foster dogs with my parents. At first, it went well, but then we brought in Sawyer and we had to keep him! I have had horses for most of my life as well and am a professional dressage rider; in 2016, I went to the Junior Olympics and won bronze! Throughout my days, I have owned eleven horses, but currently I am down to one (Antonio). I have also had cats, three throughout my life, birds, two, and a bunny! Elektra is currently my only dog and one of the reasons I am interested in boarding other dogs to give her some extra company and play! Another reason is that I really love having a near pack of dogs and I hope to have my own one day.
