Life without pets would be no life.

Pet care experience

I have had pets my entire life. I have either owned or cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, rats, guinea pigs,hamsters, lizards, fish, snakes and a crotchety old hermit crab. We have been honored to care for these members of our family from puppies till the end of their lives. I am in love with senior dogs and am not afraid to care for them in whatever manner might be needed. We have also had various rescue dogs, and my daughter has a hilarious rescue cat, and understand the challenges, and rewards, involved. We love our pets as much as any member of our family and have buried many a furry friend with a prayer and a loving gravestone. I will care for your family members as I do my own.

While Katie is my mother and I am therefore biased, I know that she is incredible at taking care of her pets. I grew up with dogs and saw her take such good care of them their whole lives. After my childhood dogs passed we ended up with two more dogs one of which I would consider my own dog more than my family's. Because I am in college now I cannot have my dog with me and she has to stay at home with my mom. Though I wish I could have my dog with me, there is no one I would trust to take care of her or any other pet more than my mom. She has always cared for her pets at the same level as family and I know she would care for other people's pets in the same way. I can't imagine her ever not putting her full effort into caring for a pet and making sure the pet is safe and happy.

Safety, trust & environment

At home I currently have 2 dogs living with me. They get 2 walks a day, one in the morning and 1 in the afternoon or evening depending on the weather and heat and cold. My younger one will join me cooking and we often work on planting house plants and in the summer I have lots of gardening to do which she loves to "help" with. We play chase in the yard at least one a day. My older one likes to lay around and be scratched and pegged all day. In the early after they usually get along or a bone as a treat. I have a huge fenced yard, which was a requirement when house shopping two years ago and past of the reason we moved way out here from the city, so they have plenty of time and space to run and be outside. At night we watch Netflix and they lay on me and my husband like the spoiled kids they are:) unfortunately, having both been rescues, they are not great with other dogs. They think they want to meet them but when they get close they get afraid and growl. We have been able to get them used to my family members other dogs slowly, and they all began as puppies so that helped but they just aren't good with other grown dogs, which is the only reason I don't take other dogs into my house. I am happy to care for your pets in your own home though.

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs of any kind. Also it's important for me to know if they are okay with other dogs and people and children.

A typical day

I like walks, teaching tricks, fetch, tummy rubs, pool time, treats, cuddles, bath if needed. If there are things your pet lives I am happy to do them.

I am currently between jobs and have plenty of time for my furry friends. I don't mind working early, I'm not a sleep in late kind of person. I do prefer to be home in the evening with my husband however we are happy walkers and would be delighted to add your friends to our evening walk.
