Peanut butter is my secret weapon
Pet care experience
I love helping out wherever it's needed, especially when it comes to walking and playing with your fur baby all day long. I have four years working in the veterinary field along with having experience giving medication, dealing with special diets, and/or whatever they are needing. With my own transportation I can take your fur baby to get their favorite doggie treats, attend their appointments, and to at the park, if needed or asked. I am pretty flexible with my time and can always guarantee good moments with your doggie. Please feel free to ask me any further questions or contact me via phone or Rover. I will try my best to get back same day, and or within an hour of you contacting me.
Reviews
When it comes to watching our fur members, Katie really does take into consideration each of their personalities and what they like/dislike. Taking the right kind of patience, she knows how to effectively give our babies their medications and bathes which is highly appreciated. She constantly has a smile on her face when coming over and truly lightens up our lives.
Katie is such an amazing host when dropping off my doggo. She makes sure that our fur baby is settled before letting us leave, and asks all the right kinds of questions when taking care of them. Always on time, and communicates in advice when something comes up. I can really rely on her to do an outstanding job when walking Milo!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always give my hand for pets to sniff first so that they can know who I am and trust me over time. Very important to me that I listen to your rules both inside and outside of the home, since everyone has their own.
Information Kathleen B. would like to know about your pet
Knowing certain behavioral cues and what triggers pets are important to not only my safety but also theirs as well. Having the details of knowing they aren't friendly towards other pets on walks, food territorial, and other things can go a long way when caring for them. But also knowing what treats they like, what makes them happy, and toys can make a world of difference as well.
A typical day
Depending on the age of the pets, let's say for a puppy I would take them on frequent walks while making it exciting and a game almost so that they know potty time is a fun activity. Then play with them for a while until it's ready for their nap/feeding time, and afterwards find a fun activity like fetch to do.
