Calm and Confident Caregiver
Pet care experience
I am a life long animal owner that has experience with cats, dogs, horses, birds, and other farm animals. I have managed barns, pet stores, and have fostered animals in the past ten years and have loved every moment of it. My goal is to keep your pet engaged mentally with play, new smells, new sights, and lots of attention. I aim to keep your animal stimulated and help you with any training that you and your companion are working on whether that is not jumping on guests to new tricks. I look forward to meeting you and your new family member!
Reviews

About Katie S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am currently not offering care in my own home since I am in a rental but I feel comfortable going to a clients house. I am a big believer in leaving the clients house in the same state or better than when I found it, for example if during play a dog tears up a toy and there is stuffing everywhere I will gather and throw away the debris along with any other hazards or messes that will be present. Outside of the house I feel comfortable taking the dog (or cat) on walks, hikes, swims and to the dog park while keeping the dog safe from any dangers such as cars, aggressive animals, etc.
Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know ahead of time about how well the dog does with other dogs, if there is any behavioral training that the dog is under (e.g. not barking at the door, ignoring other dogs on walks), and any allergies that the dog has.
A typical day
I like to make sure that dogs and cats are mentally and physically stimulated when they are with me, whether that includes walks, going to the dog park, play at home, or even going for swims with owner confirmation.
