Safety, trust & environment

I never take dog out of their home/yard while house sitting unless you specifically ask. While on their own i make sure to respect your wishes whether that be crating them or just corralling them into their safe space.

Information Katherine D. would like to know about your pet

What is your dog like around new people? Does your dog have any quirks that I should know about? (ex: they hate to have their ears touched; they only like their food if they think it is your food first?)

A typical day

I love to take dog for walks around their home. I make a point to try to avoid high traffic ares so that your pup can have a chance to sniff around without interruption. I also enjoy working with dogs on basic training. Even if they are already trained going through basic training stimulated their brains and gets them working

Pet care experience

I have lived with dogs and taken care of them for most of my life. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs. No dog is too much of a challenge. I have no issue with cleaning up, feeding or just spending time with any dog. I know dogs get lonely when their people are not around. I also know that being away from your dog for any extended period of time is just as difficult if not more so for you. That is why I'll do anything I can to make your time away from your dog better for them, that way you can always come home to a happy puppy (Cause lets face it, it doesn't matter how old they are, they're still puppies)!

Katherine was great with my two older but active dogs. I came back from my trip to happy, relaxed pups and a clean house. I'd definitely ask Katherine to dogsit again!
