Hi, it's nice to meet you! I have cared for many dogs and cats throughout my life and LOVE working with animals. I know how important your pet is to you and will treat yours like my own. I provide reliable, safe and FUN care for your pets. I currently work with multiple clients, each with their own routine and specific needs. My cat and dog clients are long-term and I've been with many of the dogs since they were puppies! I have experience with senior care and very young animals (both dogs and cats), can dispense medication, feed, snuggle, play with and walk your pets. I also have years of volunteer experience. At the Humane Society of Greater Akron I helped in the cat room and walked the dogs. I was also a therapy dog tester with the 'Dog Love' program at Akron General Hospital. In addition to my own pets, I have been a foster dog Mom and once tamed and re-homed a litter of feral kittens. I also have a great deal of puppy training experience and can help based on your specified needs (positive reinforcement, using your treats). I have a flexible schedule for drop-ins or walks, and love taking photos and sending updates about your pet. I really enjoy photography, so some of your photo updates will be 'keepers!' Experience: Petting Sitting – 3 years - through Rover and private clients Dog and Cat Owner – 29 years Senior Care - 7 years Volunteer – 7 years –Humane Society of Greater Akron (5 years), Akron General Hospital ‘Dog Love’ program for therapy dog testing (2 years) Drop-In Pricing: My price of $13 for drop-ins can include multiple pets! Let me know if you need the pricing adjusted in the booking. You will only pay $13 per ½ hour visit. I do not charge per pet, only per visit! Cat Drop Ins: I can snuggle, feed and play with your purr-babies, clean the litter box and brush them as needed. Cats love me just as much as dogs do! My price of $13 can include multiple cats, please let me know if you need the pricing adjusted. Doggy Drop Ins: We will have several potty breaks, plus lots of playtime! If your back yard is fenced, playtime can be off-leash outdoors. Dogs can be any size/weight for drop ins. You can have multiple dogs for the same price of $13 per visit, but I can only take them out to potty one at a time if the yard is not fenced. Dog Walks: I can walk up to a mile in 30 minutes, depending on the dog! I often speed walk so they can run. - I require all dogs have a harness for walks - this ensures their safety. - I can only walk one dog at a time (Rover policy) - I don't walk dogs that weigh over 40 lbs - Price does not include multiple dogs Please note: Animals must be current on all vaccinations and can’t be aggressive toward people - no growling or biting. Puppy nips are fine though. If you are outside my service area and would like to schedule visits, I will need to factor gas mileage and driving time into the pricing. Use my promo code KATIES79832 for $20 off your first Rover booking! (Must be your first time purchasing a service on Rover). I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies!
