Pet care experience
Hello there! Thanks for considering me to take take of your lovely pups 😊 My name is Katy, and I have been working closely with my dad on training and taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old; I started a minor dog walking "business" with my sister when I was 12, taking neighborhood dogs out for a few bucks during the summers; and when I was 14, I began house sitting family members dogs (all large breeds, sometimes 5 at once for 10 days on end! 😱) I also currently have 2 dogs of my own (as well as two cats), a Husky and a German Shepard, who get walked daily. (Yes, I trained a Husky with walk well on a leash! 😄) That all to say, I have loads of experience taking care of dogs both in my home and in other's, and would love to let yours join the pack for a little while.
Reviews
She does so well with my fur babies. Always caring and great at communicating with me.
She’s so great to work with, reliable, & accommodating!
Our husky shepherd, Cannon, seemed to enjoy staying with Katheryn! She appeared to have had a good time. Thank you so much again :)
Katheryn is highly professional with dogs and handled our Amstaff very well, even during a slightly challenging time. We truly appreciate her knowledge and understanding of our dogs. Thank you so much again!

Safety, trust & environment
My yard is completely privacy fenced and my 2 large dogs are very friendly and playful, so they would happily look forward to extra playmates being around. That being said, If yours gets nervous around overly friendly large dogs or if they are aggressive toward cats, we might not be a good fit for you, but feel free to reach out and we can discuss ✌️ Additionally, I have 2 metal crates (large and extra large) available for crating your pet, if that is something you require. I also am willing to walk them with my pooches seeing as you provide a leash and they do well on walks with others 🙂
Information Katheryn M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any specific routines they like to keep or activities that they really seem to enjoy/make their day better, and I'll do everything I can't to accommodate! I also need to know how your dog is with other dogs and with cats, as we have both.
A typical day
I really like to try to keep my pets on a routine, as it helps benefit their mental health and increase their trust of me. Typically, they get an hour of uninterrupted play time outside in the morning while I go through my morning routine, followed up by a 1-2mile walk and then breakfast! The dogs also like forward to some part time outside with me around 3 or 4pm every day as well as at 6pm when my husband gets home!
