Availability
I am a Master's student, so I have lots of flexibility in my routine around classes. Pet care will be a bright part of my day, and I will be excited to care for your pets like I hope someone would care for my own back in the USA.

About Katie Sue P.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my past experience in pet-sitting, I always want to put the dog's and owner's needs first. As a previous dog trainer, I am good at reading if animals are uncomfortable with a new stranger and will take any interactions slow and respectfully to build a bond with your pet. I also want to check with you to see if your animal has any special needs, for instance, my old dog back in the UK has some complex senior care routines.
Information Katie Sue P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there any any special instructions for your animals, such as instructions on medicine or feeding or even if they don’t like being walked in certain areas!
A typical day
I love to take dogs on walks through different areas that are both quiet enough for the dog to not get too stressed but also gets them used to walking and playing in public. If you are okay with it, I love teaching dogs tricks! I also know various games to play with dogs or always just love a good game of fetch.

Dog trainer who misses her pets back in the USA!
Pet care experience
I used to teach dog training classes on obedience, agility, and tricks! I am an Oxford master’s student who is missing her dogs back in the USA and has lots of experience in pet-sitting. While I usually pet-sit dogs, I also have pet-sit for rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, chickens, goats, llamas, and cats. My grandma is a rabbit breeder for Flemish Giants, and I have extensive knowledge with rabbits and guinea pigs. I am also good with senior dogs and puppies and have lots of experience training and caring for them. I used to show my dogs in obedience and agility since I was 9 years old, so I have grown up always in dog training communities! I love training with positive reinforcement. My dogs are still with my parents in the US, but I still organize all the vet contacts, care instructions, and medication ordering for my senior dog. I also used to volunteer teaching classes for kids on how to care for their dogs, rabbits, and guinea pigs, including healthy living for their pets, first aid, and grooming.
Reviews
We cannot recommend Katie Sue highly enough! She is a lovely warm presence who always goes above and beyond. She is an absolute joy to work with and, most importantly, my dog loves spending time with her!
Tinker had a wonderful time being looked after by Katie . She was really reliable and took Tinker on lovely walks . She also kept me updated with pictures and info about the visit which was very reassuring .I would highly recommend her
Katie Sue did a last minute drop in visit for us and she was great! She sent pictures and texted me with updates; will definitely use her services again :)
Katie was my daughter's 4-H leader (dogs/bunnies/chickens) who proved to be very caring and knowledgeable about animals - and kids! For several years, whenever my family left town for a weekend or a 10 day summer vacation, Katie took amazing care of two large dogs, three cats, 10-12 chickens, two horses, and several bunnies! I never worried for one minute about my animals because I knew they were in wonderful care. I cannot recommend Katie enough - she will love and care for your animals as if they were her own!
