Registered Vet tech ❤️

Pet care experience

I'm a licensed veterinary technician who has 10+ years of experience with dogs, cats and small mammals. Treating your loving 4 legged family members as if they were mine. Lots of snuggles and cuddles. I have a huge fenced in yard with lots of balls and Frisbee. They are allowed on all my furniture. I have been working with dogs for about 10 years. I am also a licensed veterinary technician, I do work about 30 hours a week at a local vet. I do come home over lunches to let the dogs out. There maybe a time where they are crated for a few hours, or left out for a few hours while I am at work. I have experience with dogs that need lots of care, diabetic, or on any medications. If staying the night I do recommend you bringing your own crate, just so your dog has a safe place to call their own. When we leave the house I do kennel or separate dogs in the house. I don't leave any dogs together just as a precaution. You never know what can happen! Also great with high energy dogs and dogs that are fearful. I have had fear free training. I have two Australian Shepard's and two cats. I have a fenced in yard. I love taking my dogs on walks around the neighborhood as well as to the dog parks. I have babysat many dogs from little ones to Great Danes. I love them all. if you have any questions please private message me. Looking forward to hearing from you. ****When dropping off your pet for an overnight stay there are a few things you'll need to bring. **** - Enough food for your pet to last the length of the stay - Food bowl - Any medications - Leash - Bed/Crate if you use one - Collar with tags (including name and number on tags) - Copy of current vet records Please ALL dogs must be current on flea/tick preventative! ***Important note about collars*** ALL dogs MUST have a collar with tags attached to it. Those tags MUST have an up to date phone number on them. If your dog uses a harness or any other type of removable collar they MUST ALSO have a collar present around their neck at all times, even if tags are present on the harness. Collar must also be properly fitted. If it slides over the dogs head then it must be adjusted. Dogs without tags or collar are to the owners risk. I've never lost a dog or had one escape the yard, hopefully I never will, but the tags and collar make identification easier. I typically take harnesses off when inside or in the yard. So if your dog isn't wearing a collar with tags they have NO identification. I will accept intact dogs at an adjusted rate, because of marking issues in the house. Please message me for more info on pricing. ------------------------------------------------------ Please read everything above thoroughly. Take note of my refund policy. If late to your Pickup time off by more than 10 minutes there is a fee of $20. Non-negotiable. ------------------------------------------------------ I am aware that this is a lot of information, this is all for the safety of your pet. I genuinely care about you and your animal, and I only want what is best for them. All information is for the safety of your pet. I look forward to hearing from you. ------------------------------------------------------ I currently foster with K9JUSTICELEAGUE so I have experience with all sorts of high need animals. ❤️❤️❤️ A portion of the proceeds I make goes to support k9 justice league to help dogs find forever homes. ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks! Kathryn

Kat was amazing - communication was over the top. She was extremely accommodating and was perfect for my crew which include a reactive dog. Definitely will use her again.
