Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. In the past 15 years I've been the go to pet sitter for my friends and family. I am a mom of three children, so kid friendly pets will get lots of love from this happy family. I work at my kids school from 8:30-3:00, so my work days are short and I can spend lots of time carrying for your pet. I have two lab mix dogs of my own. I took one through training and she got first place, so I am very patient and can assist with continuing any training while you are away. The other was trained before he came to me and has wonderful manners that we have kept up on. When I was a child, my dogs needed subq fluids so I do have experience with some pet meds that do go above and beyond the normal pills. I hope our family can help you feel at ease while you are away.

This was the first time I had the opportunity to use Rover? Katie was great with our puppy. She sent pictures every day and played fetch with her often to wear her out. I will definitely use her again.

Katie was excellent for watching our dog Timber! He loved playing with both people and dogs at her home and we received daily photos while we were gone. We would absolutely have Katie watch our dog again.
