Pet care experience

Your dog will be one of my dogs!

I love dogs, and more importantly, I understand them. A lifetime of caring for, interacting with and learning about animals has given me the skills to keep dogs safe, healthy, engaged, and of course, happy! I enjoy all types of dogs and all personalities. I have a degree in Veterinary Technology and took additional classes in dog behavior and am comfortable with dogs that are difficult for others, such as dominant or very timid. I feel a special connection with dogs that are unsure and love using my knowledge of them to help them come out of their shell. I have worked with hundreds of dogs in veterinary, rescue, boarding and grooming settings. I have attained a CGC with two dogs and done some agility. But mostly I love just being with dogs, mine and any I come across, walking, playing, snuggling, swimming, and anything that brings that smile to their face and that sparkle to their eye. I am honest, flexible, and will respect your property 100%. I am honored to be trusted by those I work for and am happiest when I hear "I didn't have to worry at all because I knew you were there".

Our 3yr old lab loved her stay with Katie and Kyle. Their own dogs are well behaved. Peiper was treated like family. Bring your dog to Katie I know we will.

Katie is a very committed caretaker for all animals! She is attentive, dependable, good decision maker, and very resourceful. As a vet tech, she is very knowledgeable and can respond to special needs. She truly enjoys the time she spends with dogs, horses and other pets... perhaps even more than time with groups of humans!! I only wish she lived closer so my cats could be spoiled by her!

Katie is great! She is responsible and loves all animals. Their well-being is her first priority. Her education, experience and knowledge is invaluable. Katie is always looking for ways to better every animals life, especially when our comes to the walk for animals held every year.

I would like to know mainly the dogs personality and temperament to make sure I will be able to have them fully included with my dogs. If they have some issues I am able to make accommodations. Also if they are housebroken, have special medical or diet needs, or mobility issues. I love all breeds.
