Dogs best friend

Pet care experience

I've had a countless number of different animals in my life time, as well as taken care of many of my friends pets in their hard times. I'm extremely perceptive to animals needs and will do anything in my power to accommodate an animals level of comfort. Wether that be bathing, flea prevention, or special treats, I am always jumping in to help animals. Getting energy out is so important for a dogs happiness and I just love the excitement on their faces right before a nice walk. I am excited at the opportunity to meet new dogs and to make sure they have as much fun as I do hanging out with them. My schedule is free. I am a stay at home mom with a reliable babysitter. I would love to bring my son on some of my dog walks but if your pet doesn't like children I have a reliable babysitter. Currently, I have a dog named Lulu and a cat named Emily. When I got Lulu she was 5 years old and had been abused her whole life. She was covered in poop and her fur was matted beyond belief. I washed her up, cut her hair, cut her nails and that night she curled up under a blanket with me on the couch. Since then her anxiety has been a struggle but I do everything I can to make sure that she is as comfortable as she can be. We take my dog out on our electric scooter every nice day so that she can run as fast as she wants and we wont slow her down. She loves it. I also microwave her an egg in the morning so that she can have breakfast with us. My cat Emily was found abandoned at a home depot and she was too young to be without her mom. I had to bottle feed her multiple times in the night and when we first got her she got very sick. She had a huge surgery and I had to keep the incision clean and make sure she didnt rip her stitches. Today she is a strong loving cat who helps me take care of my son and feel him bottles in the middle of the night

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what your dog enjoys doing and what your normal training patterns are so that I can keep similar rules on my walks with them. I also would like to know if your dog is friendly with strangers and other dogs and if not how can I better accommodate your preference.

A typical day

I would love to go to the dog park and play fetch or even just walk around and allow your dog to explore where they want to walk. I like the farmington river trail alot because it has water acess for any animals that like a quick swim on hot days.
