Pet care experience

I'll treat your doggo like my own!

My mom started fostering dogs when I was 2 years old, so I've been taking care of dogs my whole life! I would love to help you take care of your dog(s)! I also have experience using various no-pull harnesses and gentle leader head collars for larger dogs. I have no qualms about taking care of "controversial" breeds such as Rottweilers, Dobermans, or Pit Bulls. I'm available for morning, evening, and weekend check-ins. I'm perfectly comfortable and experienced at administering oral medications and/or taking care of senior dogs and cats. I have a fenced-in yard for frequent potty breaks and play time. Adult pets must be spayed/neutered to stay at my home.

We were gone for a very little my trip and Kate did a great job with Winston. She kept us informed of how he was doing and sent tons of pictures. An added bonus was when we came the house looked better than when we left it. She did an awesome job and I would highly recommend her

Kate did a great job taking care of my dog and cat, taking good care of their physical and emotional needs. She communicated each time she visited and sent lots of pictures. If I can offer one constructive comment it would be to check before bringing someone else to the house. That said, I would be happy to have her take care of my pets again.
