Pet care experience

My whole life I have had no less than three dogs at a time. My family used to breed Beagles. I have had to bottle feed puppies, and goats, who were neglected from their mothers. I walk all three of my dogs at least three times a day. Animals who won't let anyone come near them let me come to them. I have extra cages at my home if they are needed for pets, but I prefer for them to be free to roam if approved by the owner. I've had all types of dogs, so no dog is too much for me to handle. I'm very attentive to animals and all of their needs. I have experience in giving medications and shots. I just recently graduated from the Animal Behavior Institute and am a certified canine training and behavior specialist. Animals are mans best friend and they deserve to be treated as such. I have dogs to keep your dog company. I usually let them play for an hour three times a day. In a clients home I do whatever they ask of me to do for their dog to make him comfortable.

We were visiting from out of town and needed a dog sitter for a couple of days. Katherine was great! Gustav seemed to have a nice time and settle in quickly. We got a couple of photos that looked like he made himself right at home!🐾 Katherine’s communication was always prompt and nice.

Katherine is great with Robby, our 80lb pittie! Always can count on her to take good care of him.
