I have a gentle, loving approach to each animal. I make it a point to treat each pet as my own. I make sure to follow any and all instructions left by the owners to make sure their pet is cared for properly and to their preference.

Information Katherine R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is anxious, jumps, or tries to escape. I’d also love to know their activity levels, if they needs brushing, what they are allergic to, and if they need meds!

A typical day

A typical day with your dog/s includes a nice long sniff walk to help stimulate your dogs brain, followed by some treats (as allowed), cuddles, and then some fetch!

Pet care experience

Since the time I was born, I’ve been living with and caring for animals. Having two senior dogs as a child meant I gained plenty of patience, respect, and love towards all animals, especially dogs and cats. Growing up with dogs and cats, I have gained the knowledge needed to properly care for your pets. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. Experience includes feeding, walking, transport assistance, calming anxious pups, and administering medications. As someone with two dogs and a cat of my own, I know how important pets are; they are your family! I am dedicated to your little loved one’s comfort and happiness.
