I have owned dogs my whole life. Particularly large dogs when I was an adult. From 2006 on, I have both rescued and owned pure bred dogs. I was a volunteer for the Orange County Animal shelter where I was a dog walker. I am definitely a "dog person"! I love walking and taking care of dogs. I especially love and appreciate how well they take care of me by just being themselves (lovable and loyal) . As far as other people's dogs, I get along with almost any dog. I have been dog sitting for a few clients consistently for a couple years. I do well with the responsibilities involved including house sitting. I am reliable and responsible. The client's pets and homes are my concern. My longest overnight stay lasted 10 days. All went well. I do have a part-time job during the day. My availability reflects that. I work with older adults in Health and Wellness. Everybody I hang out with exercises to their ability...even the poochies! I am mature and have owned dogs and a home in the past. I understand the needs of clients who are leaving their pets in my care. Trust the "Kat" with your dog!
