Animal Lover Available All Summer
Pet care experience
I am a 31 year old high school teacher that absolutely loves animals! My summer hours are wide open and I also have availability on weekends as well. I have had a variety of pets all of my life and currently have one dog (Lucy) and one cat (Mac). I have had a variety of dogs throughout my life that range from as big as a Newfoundland to as small as a Yorkie. I have done pet sitting for friends and family on multiple occasions and would love to help you as well! I enjoy being active so dog walking and running is well within my abilities. I would love to help you out with your best buddy. Please contact me for more information!
Reviews
Katie took great care of our cat while we were out of town for a week!
Katie was so helpful last minute when we came to town! Booked the day before! Sent pics and treated my babies as if she was her own! Will definitely use her again :)
Katie is very patient and kind. She loves animals and is also a very hard worker in general. She is trustworthy and definitely someone I would not hesitate to ask for help with my pets.
Katie is a very responsible, reliable, kind, compassionate, and hard working individual. She cares deeply not just about her own pets, but any animal she comes across. I have had her watch my cat and two dogs on numerous occasions and she always goes above and beyond when it comes to giving them attention, cleaning, and overall care. I would highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment
My dog is crate trained and house trained. When we first rescued our cat he would not use the litter box but I was able to use classical and operant conditioning to create a positive association with the litter box. We only use positive reinforcement to train our animals. I do not believe in using punishment as creating fear is not something I would ever want for animals.

My schedule is very open in the summer! I am an avid walker so getting some exercise in for your pooch in the morning is something I would love to help with.
