Safety, trust & environment

Very safe environment but I do have 3 cats of my own. I don't have a fenced in yard but there is a park near me I walk to for fresh air.

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if there's any medications they need, or special diets. Any fears or anxiety's surrounding storms and loud noises are helpful. What their daily schedule is like so I can adhere to it as much as possible.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs of all sizes and I love figuring out their favorite toys! Walks are a necessity and we would be able to walk around as much as possible and go to the local park to meet new friends.

Pet care experience

I have dog and cat experience alike for 10 years ranging from young dogs to senior dogs. Every dogs personality is different and I love getting to know them. I have experience with dogs as large as Dalmatians to smaller yorkie dogs. Weather permitting I love taking dogs on walks or playing outside to let their energy out and get some fresh air. I also have 3 cats of my own and am very familiar with giving cats food, medicine, and their exercise/play times. While I haven't had a dog of my own since leaving home, they hold a large part in my heart with my fur nieces, nephews, and every family member in between! I have not had experience administering medications to dogs much but have done some in the past with pills and syringes. I am looking forward to meeting your furry friends and treating them like my own family! ❤️

Katie was respectful of our home. She treated my fur babies as her own. They loved spending time with her.

Very friendly and personable. Responsive and the dogs were very nervous at the beginning, but seemed to settle in with her. My only criticism was the lack of walks. It was raining, but also the dogs don't really care about the rain (unless it's a soaking downpour), so I would have hoped for either more frequent shorter walks or longer ones less often. She was super nice and it's not a horrible complaint, just wouldn't be able to leave her with the dogs for a full week of it was raining because they would go stir crazy (for context - they are used to 3mi walks daily no matter the weather).
