Pet care experience

Reliable northside doggo lover🐾♥️

I’ve cared for pets since before I had a driver’s license, starting with walking which ultimately turned into overnight care. I love to see dogs and really all animals happy and well cared for. I love giving praise, talking to them sweetly, and showing them the attention they deserve. Walking, playtime, and even naps on the couch are great ways to bond with puppers. I am comfortable with administering oral and topical medications, changing diapers and bandages, and special diets. I can lift dogs up to 50 lbs.

I always return to a happy Buddy after he's spent time with Katie in the house!

Katie just finished a 13-day assignment with my Buddy, and I am SO pleased by how happy and healthy he is! I've never been away from him this long and was not sure how he would do, but everything seems absolutely normal. Katie is responsible, communicative, and accepts all our idiosyncrasies. Thank you, Katie!

Schedule

I am a full time nanny of over a decade with a lot of day time availability during the school year from August to May. Drop-in visits and walks would be a great way for me to see more doggos during the day and get more exercise :) With overnight stays, I provide house sitting services like mail & trash with lots of walks, playtime, and approved outings for your furry friends. I ask that I be able to work around my primary job but can still offer check ins every 3 hours for puppies and every 4-6 hours for adult dogs.
