Animal Loving Care Provider

Pet care experience

I've lived with animals of all kinds my whole life. I know puppies need more strict rules and more frequent potty times due to still being trained. I believe in many different training styles for different breeds, as well as creating a strong bond with your companions. I will follow whatever guidelines are left as I know everyone trains differently. I lost my 13 year old boxer to old age a few years ago and finally decided to take on another puppy. I officially welcomed our great dane, Hera, in December. We will be working towards obedience trials and rally in the future. Big/giant breeds are my favourite but I've also lived with miniatures and love them too. I know and understand different breeds need different amounts of care and attention. Small dogs can't always walk as far or play as hard but I would still spend the full amount of time loving on them. In the summer I'd 100% advise, against long walks over 27° or 25° if humidity is high. I'd NEVER let their poor paws sit on hot pavement due to the damage it does. I always carry water containers on me to stop for drinks. For overnights the animal will always sleep in it's designated area, whether that be crate, bed, etc. And they will always get let or a walk (depending on time-I have a 11 year old at home) before I go back home. Once she's off to school etc I'll be back for a proper walk and playtime. I've had dogs in my life since I can remember both large and small and also currently own 2 cats which are doted on constantly. I'll treat yours as if they're my own but with your rules attached. I am fully vaccinated from COVID19. **I will no longer be travelling out of Ontario for overnight stays.** Québec is officially out of my boundaries.

Katie is awesome with my service dog Jade. Jade gets so excited when Katie comes to walk her. I Highly recommend her!

Katie is a fantastic cat sitter! Our two cats looked very happy to see her in the pics that she sent. We will definitely book Katie again.

As usual, Katie really came through for me when I needed her for an urgent change in my schedule (due to health issues). She’s so supportive and my dogs love her. Highly recommend.

Katie did a house sitting and what started as one dog being sick then ended up being a second dog (out of 3) being sick. Katie was such a trooper taking care of them overnight and keeping me up to date while I got home as soon as I could.

Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any anxiety, behavioural issues or traits that you are working on, or health concerns. That way I know exactly what your fur baby will require for care when I'm there.

A typical day

I will do anything from walking the dog to working on training commands how you prefer them to be done. I can stimulate them both physically and mentally by playing with puzzle balls, hiding treats or toys and having them sniff them out, etc.
