Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Kate and I'm a college student currently in Portland ME! I have taken classes on small mammals, reptiles, and dog care. I have also previously worked at a dog daycare and have a few cats and a dog at home myself. I am familiar with some basic dog training such as pattern-based games and practice loose-leash walking. All animals I have cared for: dogs, cats, snakes, bearded dragons, geckos, turtles, tortoises, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, horses/ponies, donkeys/mules, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, crickets, beta fish, alpacas, chinchillas, ferrets). ***dog fees apply to farm animals; cat fees apply to small mammal + reptile)
Reviews
Kate is a very trustworthy and dog loving person. As a peer in an animal science class in highschool I know she has strong abilities when working with animals.

Safety, trust & environment
I will ensure your pet is in a safe and clean environment. Your pet will get proper outside time and crated if requested. If your dog or cat needs medication, all times it was given and how the medication was given will be recorded to ensure safety. I have experience with my own dog being reactive and am always mindful of pets who need more space from others.
Information Kate G. would like to know about your pet
It is good to know if your dog is under a year old, takes medication, has special needs, or is dog aggressive or reactive. This includes cats as well. ***if your pet is not a dog or cat - no worries! Most animals are fine! Cat fees will apply to small mammal + reptiles; dog fees will apply to farm animals***
A typical day
Depending on your pet, there are many activities to choose from! I have listed some below - Training/pattern games - Short or long hikes/walks - Ball games - Dog park trips - Smell based treat games - Snuggles on the couch
