Katie's dog sitting

I love dogs (and cats)! I grew up with cats but dogs are my passion. I have a chocolate lab named Bear. I volunteered at both the Erie SPCA and at Niagara SPCA walking all breeds of dogs. We try to teach manners at the SPCA and so am familiar with the basic training techniques. I enjoy walks around the neighborhood letting them enjoy the sights and smells. Even if they are difficult to walk, I am still comfortable with that. I love giving belly rubs but snuggling with them is the best! Will administer medication as needed. I am available to take them for vet visits or grooming as well. I am also able to house sit with light cleaning however focus is always on the dog/dogs.

Kathryn is professional and a perfect fit to care for our clan. She took time to understand the needs of each pet individually and kept me in the know about how my pets were doing. I recommend Kathryn as a caring, nurturing pet companion. Thank you Kathryn! Can't wait to have you stay with us again.

Kathryn did an exceptional job watching our dog while we were on vacation. We arrived home to a happy dog who was well taken care of. I did not have to worry while I was away because I received daily updates and knew he was receiving great care and a lot of attention. Kathryn also went above and beyond looking out for our house. I definitely would want her to take care of our pet then next time we were away.

Katie is awesome! She is so knowledgeable and experienced with dogs that I knew I had nothing to worry about while I was away. Katie went above and beyond during our meet and greet and while she stayed in my home to watch my dogs. She is a truly reliable and caring person. I cannot say enough about how fantastic she is. I will use Katie every single time I am out of town! Thanks, Katie!

I’d like to know of any behavioral issues that I may encounter. Are they dog/ cat friendly? Food preferences and feeding schedule. Any allergies would be very important!
