Dog is God backwards, God is love.
Pet care experience
I grew up in a house that always had dogs. I usually had two at a time, and those pups taught me a lot about how to be social, how to connect with others. I was a strange kid when I was younger, and I know my golden helped me out so much more than probably some of my human friends. I live in a 500 Square foot studio, and live alone. The dogs will be with me most of the time, and are welcome on any and all furniture or any adventures (depending on the dog and their behavior of course). All dogs have their own personalities and I think that through being an only child and always having dogs around me, I can usually decipher what dogs are trying to tell us...Further, They will have a solid routine of being fed twice a day, going outside to play and potty once an hour, and also staying inside and relaxing. A balanced life is a happy puppy life.
Reviews
Katie lived with us in Iowa for a six month period in 2016. During this time our beagle Cooper became extremely attached to Katie. He loved his morning hugs and talks with Katie as well as their afternoon reuniobs.... Cooper would greet Katie at the door and Katie would be right down on his level asking him about his day as well as a few belly rubs. In the evening Katie and Cooper shared the couch all snuggled together under blankets occasionally sharing popcorn When my husband and I traveled, we had no problem leaving Cooper with Katie....they were great companions....one always looking for the other. Cooper quickly became Katie's office dog.....Cooper would lay right under Katie's desk...keeping her safe and protected. Cooper even got to travel with Katie to another city and spend a day at meetings with Katie. Katie had a special knack with Cooper....I truly believe he understood the intimate daily talks that they would have about life as well as the political scene I highly recommend Katie to work with all of your dogs...I would describe Katie as a "dog whisperer".

Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know in advance if they are potty trained or not, but it doesn't matter to me if they are or aren't; i just like knowing to be prepared. My apartment is honestly skeptical of bulldogs, pit bulls, etc., but i personally have no problem with them; it just may be a factor in whether or not I can take your pup!
A typical day
I am a big fan of having dogs walk with me, as well as cuddle and play with his/her toys if they have any they are particularly fond of.
