Responsible, loving, compassionate

Pet care experience

We had many pets while I was growing up and I currently live with 3 bullies. I've rescued a number of dogs to be part of my family over the years and I've volunteered untold hours to animal rescues. I have 40+ years experience in sitting (pets and houses). I owned/operated a small pet sitting service in CA, for dogs, cats, birds, horses, alpacas, goats, etc. I worked on an alpaca ranch for 18 months doing all aspects of care. I JUST LOVE ANIMALS, what can I say? I have dog friendly transportation if there is ever a need for that. The cat care rate is for Cat Only jobs --I will give a discount when dog bookings add on cat care. Other animals (horse/goat/chicken/alpaca/llama/reptiles/etc) can be added on via additional costs field. Contact me to discuss pricing on your particular needs. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs.

Kat is absolutely amazing! She did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and cats. I loved that she sent updates and pictures daily. It was so nice to have the peace of mind knowing that my pets were well taken care of.

Overnight/House sitting - I follow the directions left for me or discussed at the Meet & Greet. I love and care for their pets as if they were my own. Many of my clients have given me a spare key or door codes because they know they can trust me to respect their homes.

Information Katherine D. would like to know about your pet

I like all breeds. I have experience with all sizes but probably more with the larger breeds. Some breeds I've cared for are; pitty/pitty mix, shepherd mix, labs, Jack russells, border collies, labs, chis, etc. I have also cared for highly schedule/training regimented dogs for Guide Dog of America trainers. I've owned GSDS, poodle mix, terrier mixes, labs, and collies. I've volunteered with a rescue that did any large breed (hard to place), and a Dobie specific rescue.

A typical day

Snuggle time is a favorite, lots of belly-rubs (for them, not me. LOL). Maybe a stop at Starbucks for a Puppuccino (again with your advance permission). Car rides. Dog pools. Fetch. Chase. Brushing and/or massage.
