Information Katie P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if any special needs! I don’t have a ton of specialty needs experience, but can give oral medications no problem! I’m also a healthcare professional, so feel extremely comfortable with any first aid that may present itself.

A typical day

During the school year, I am usually home week nights, and have a fairly long lunch break! During the summer, I do not work, so I am able to spend lots of time with the pups! Including mental stimulation, as well as taking them on walks and to parks!

Pets

Active, 20-something dog lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life! Adopted my own dog about 6 years ago, a rescue that came with many challenges but has become a confident and loving dog! My husband and I adopted our own puppy about 2 years ago! I’ve worked to train him on basic tasks like walking, to more advanced and fun tricks! We also just adopted a third puppy to add a little more chaos to our fun and busy family!

So helpful and clearly experienced with dogs! Very grateful to have someone like Katie to rely on while we’re out of town for the day.
