Dog Trainer - Training you to train

Pet care experience

Hi there, I'm Katie. I'm a professional, experienced, and passionate dog trainer--and I'm so excited to meet you and your dog! Dogs have always been the light of my life, my life revolves around them and I was determined to make them a part of my career path! When I say I made dogs part of my career, I mean it! I was a veterinary technician for a few years and I worked as a boarding technician on the side, and realized how hard it was for dogs to be kenneled at these facilities. Dogs are far more comfortable in the safety of their own home, and often have a better experience with a sitter who is like family. I offer a free consultation in order to meet you and your dogs, and see if we’re a good fit. I offer house sitting, walking, training (house training, obedience training, tricks training, and behavioral training) and bathing and grooming (will not use clippers.) I care for cats and exotic pets as well! I am continuously educating myself on veterinary care, dog training methods, and understanding dogs behavior in order to provide you with a knowledgeable and responsible service. I’m an avid animal lover. At my house I have 3 dogs, a tortoise, a bunny, a bearded dragon, two fish and a completely amphibious frog. It’s definitely the highlight of my life, taking care and loving animals.

Terrible terrible terrible. DO NOT BOOK WITH KATIE. Zero stars. We booked Katie two days ago for a drop in visit for this morning at 9am. When I landed at the airport at noon I had no Rover card, check in/out, or pictures from the visit. I asked if she had come by. Her response was “I did not. I will go over now and give a refund as well. I woke up to terror children and completely forgot”. No apologies, no care at all that she had neglected my dogs. When we did our Meet and Greet she assured me of her reliability and even said if she wasn’t available her husband could fill in for her. When I replied to her today I said I would be reporting her to Rover and leaving a bad review. She immediately canceled the booking so I would not be able to leave a review. Rover made sure I was able to leave the review. I am more than disappointed that she claimed to be something she was not. One of my dogs is on medication, let alone the dogs needed food and water. I would not EVER trust her. And if you do book be sure have a camera to verify that she actually came.

Katie was amazing and I'm so grateful to have her looking after my sick kitty and pit bull. She won't just care for your animals, she will love them as her own. Highly recommended and will be using her services for dog training.

I was apprehensive about leaving our dogs with someone new but they did great with Katie!. She kept us updated on her visits and sent us some pictures every day. We will book Katie again and recommender her to others!
