Dog Groomer/Handler!

Pet care experience

Hey yall! In 2010 I enrolled and graduated from NASH Academy Animal Grooming and Behavior trade school, where I got my certification in Dog CPR, Grooming, and Handling, and Animal Behavior. Ever since then I have been a self employed groomer. I have been professionally employed at several dog boarding place, i.e. Humane Society, RePets. I was also a 3rd shift dog handler at a doggy daycare. I love dogs more than most humans and feel like I would be the perfect fit for you and your bestfriend(s). If your dog is active - that's awesome because I love the outdoors (even in the cold) and would love taking him/her for walks and to the amazing dog parks here. If your dog is lazy - that's awesome too! I consider myself a professional cuddler. Please consider me as a babysitter, I know letting your bestfriend go to someone else for a little is a hard thing to do, hopefully you'll trust me and feel happy and secure leaving your dog with me :) ~~~ Rates are always negotiable! Why I love dog sitting Forever! Dog grooming and sitting professionally since 2010 Meet my pets House with fenced yard in a nice quiet neighborhood My experience administering medication Yes and have experience.

Kate was fantastic! It was my first time using the rover service and my first time doing in-home style dog sitting. I visited Kate's home for a meet and greet prior to the scheduled stay. Her home was cute, dog safe, and dog friendly. She was great with my dog and it was clear she loves animals and is knowledgable and patient. Seeing how great Kate was with my dog Luke, on the meet and greet, I definitely didn't have any concerns leaving him with her for the longer stay. I received photos and updates of what they were up to during his stay. Lots of walks, play time, and doggy smiles. When I picked him up from Kate he was happy and tired from a great stay. I would definitely book with Kate again in the future.

As Kate's dad, I know that she has a heart as big as the world for all animals, not just dogs. When living at home, Kate loved and took wonderful care of our family dog, Bella, and I have complete confidence that she would do the same for any other dog. She also has completed an intensive dog grooming school and became familiar with dog diseases, sociability, etc., in addition to the main curriculum of grooming.

Kate is wonderful with dogs. She has always been most comfortable around animals as she tends to be a bit shy with people. She trained our dog Bella to do all kinds of tricks. She always takes great care of Bella or any dog she has to care for. She graduated from grooming school and grooms Bella when she is home. She would be a wonderful pet sitter, foster pet mother or any other job related to dogs.
