Pet care experience
Why settle just for an amateur when you can have a professional? I am a Professional pet sitter, I have been in business for over 15 years, Safe & Secure Pet Services. I have excellent references and over 25 years of experience. I specialize in toy breeds, special needs, and seniors. I will always always have room for a yorkie or chihuahua... We live in a large three level home with five bedrooms and we are willing to share with your pet. Your pet will be pampered and spoil just like my dog, peanut. We all love animals and everyone in my family helps! Chrissy and I are home all day to give your dog special attention! We guarantee at least three walks per day, lots of TLC, and play time. Things to bring: 1. Most current shot record (dog MUST be up to date on all shots, no exceptions!) 2. Well walked doggie to avoid accidents in the house. 3. Food and special treats 4. Leash and harness 5. Bed or favorite blanket 6. Favorite toy ***Must reserve another night if you want a pick up after 6 pm. Go on vacation and relax knowing your dog(s) are are safe and secure! I am a retired Special educator from MCPS with quality time to spend with your pet, lots of experience with dogs, and tons of patience. Why I love dog sitting I love animals and infants. I have a passion for animals and individuals with special needs. I can remember bringing in stray cats and dogs in my house as a young child. I have never not had a pet...I love a challenge and can work miracles with troubled little dogs.. It is my passion and I believe it is my special gift. Meet my pets I currently have peanut a six pound yorkie who is very spoiled, but knows he has to share my lap and time, which is NOT an issue for him. He is pretty special, he has a seizure disorder and kidney issues but we love him to life... About my yard Large common area out back where dogs can run and play. We live in a pet friendly neighborhood. There are paths for walking and two parks within four minutes walking distance. I am a retired Special educator from MCPS with quality time to spend with your pet, lots of experience with dogs, and tons of patience. We are home bodies. Someone is always home. All doors are connected to our security system. When a door is open it is announced. Everyone in the house knows to check behind them for a pup when opening and closing a door.
Reviews
Marcie is usually nervous around new people, but when she saw Kathy she immediately hopped in her lap and made herself at home! Kathy was great at providing updates and Marcie seemed to be relaxed and happy in her care. We would definitely book Kathy again!
Kathy was absolutely great. Shadow has since expired and we have a new dog. Do not hesitate to reach Kathy if she is available.
Kathy took very good care of Princess, she made sure she felt safe and comfortable, she also kept contact with me yo let me know how she was doing. I would definitely use her again. Thank you
Charlie looked happy during the stay. Many thanks to Kathy and family for taking care of him.
