Pet care experience

From rescues to special need pets

I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs with a variety of needs, especially elderly and those on medications. I used to manage a horse farm, and have been a lifelong equestrian. I have a service pup of my own, as well as a lovely ragdoll cat, and previously owned a rescue pittie! I am emergency first aid certified for small animals and was an ICU vet tech. Comfortable with all breeds.

Katharine took such excellent care of our two cats while we were away. She gave them lots of snuggles, followed our pet care instructions to a tee, and sent us photos along the way! Would absolutely work with her again.

Any special behaviors, favorite toys or treats. If you pet has any medical needs, and who their vet and emergency contact is. Saftey and fun are my top priorities for your pet!
