Pet care experience

Animal enthusiast

I was born into a house full of cats and dogs, and at no point in my life have i ever lived without them. I worked in a vet clinic as a high school intern for a year, and spent a lot of time caring for small animals that were boarding or recovering from an operation. During this time I worked with several different dog breeds, and dogs with a wide variety of issues. I also competed in 4H dog shows for 8 years, showing in showmanship, obedience, and Rally Obedience. However, I have also trained in Agility, doggy freestyle, and puppy kindergarten. I am a licensed Karen Pryor dog trainer and I am also licensed in red cross pet first aid.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment, so I’m unable to offer care in my home. But, I do have experience with going over just to make sure dogs are able to go outside and burn off energy and make sure they’re fed for the night. I also have experience house-sitting and caring for plants in the home as well as making sure pets get doted on, and burn off enough energy.

Katharine was amazing! Super sweet with my boy and treated him as her own! Lots of pictures every visit and she made me feel so relaxed about being away from him. Highly recommend!

It’s important to know a pets triggers, what they do not like you doing. also what they do LOVE you doing. it’s important that i know enough to keep myself and the pets in my care as safe as i can. as well as happy and healthy
