Highlights
Pet care experience
Home is Where the Paws Are
I have always been an animal lover. I grew up with a Labrador Retriever who lived to be 16. Sadly, his health slowly deteriorated as I was in graduate school while living at home, but this allowed me to gain valuable experience with a senior pup. I have always enjoyed horses and horse-back riding, I often volunteered through college at a local stable to get my horse fix! Something about those gentle, giants just speaks to me! I have watched several friends and family members pets at their homes while out of town. I have had friends recommend me to their other friends and family as well. I have demonstrated reliability and integrity. I currently have two cats, Finley and Paisley, and a floppy eared rabbit named Willow. I often bring Willow to work with me; she acts as a therapy rabbit at my place of employment. I also frequently assist my parents with their current rambunctious Labrador Retriever, who I lovingly refer to as my "puppy brother." I assist with walking, bathing, feeding and doing drop ins when they are gone for the day.

Safety, trust & environment
My own pets are spoiled beyond belief and I would do the exact same for yours! My pets are my children, not just animals, and I intend on treating everyone's fur babies as such. For drop ins, I have no problem feeding, watering, changing litter boxes, crating or playing with your pet. For walks, I am comfortable with picking up feces and following leash laws/regulations.
Ratings and reviews
Katie has formed a special bond with my dog. He loves spending time with her. In dealing with Katie I have found her to be very reliable and responsible. I would highly recommend her.
Katie has cared for our dog on numerous occasions. She is kind and caring with our dog. He absolutely loves when she comes to see him. He is overjoyed when she takes him on a walk. I have no reservations about having Katie care and walk our dog. She loves animals and they love her. Katie is responsible and reliable.
Katie has always treated my dogs like they are her own. She is a genuine animal lover and I would (and will continue to) trust her with any animal I own.

Schedule
Currently I do work a full time M-F, 8-4 schedule. However, due to the nature of my job, I have summers off so my availability will be much more flexible towards the end of June. Currently, pet care would have to be in evenings and various weekends.
