Pets are the key to happiness

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. Right now all I am doing is Rover so I’ll have plenty of time to be attentive to your fur babies. I’m available weekends and week days for all services. 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.

Katherine took care of our two older cats and our male cat has Asthma so needed an inhaler twice a day. Katherine was very punctual with giving the inhaler and took excellent care of our kitties. They were happy and healthy when we got home and we will definitely be using Katherine again.

Happy to have Katie back to give our pup a break and some attention. She did a great job and our dog was relaxed when we got home.
