Special Needs Pets, Flexible Sched
Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Katy, and with my flexible self-employed schedule, I’d love to help you with either last-minute or consistent pet care. My two cats are members of my family, and I carry that understanding to other's pets as well. I specialize in caring for special needs pets, and am experienced with both cats and dogs that have mobility issues (quadriplegic and paraplegic), sight issues, and that need bladder expression. I am comfortable following a strict medication and physical therapy / exercise schedule. I am also experienced in caring for dogs up to 140 lbs.
Reviews
Katy Ann was great. Our dogs LOVED her and she was communicative and great. I've already submitted another booking request with her!
Katy Ann took wonderful care of our animals. We have some finicky cats who need medicine and a lot of attention, and she was able to provide them with the care they needed. She was also a really good communicator. Our one cat who is normally afraid of new people felt comfortable with her, and even slept with her! Very grateful to her for taking care of our cats!
Katy Ann was amazing!!! She kept us posted with cute photos and updates throughout the day. Our puppy loves her so much and gets so excited when she comes over. She also made it so easy to coordinate and sort out logistics.
This was the third time we had Katy Ann watch our dogs and as always, she was such a great help. I'm a worrier by nature, but I am so confident and relaxed about the care of our pets when Katy Ann is watching them. Our older dog recently passed away, so I really wanted to make sure our now-single dog would get care and attention while we were away. Katy Ann is very thorough in her check-ins and notes and always let me know how our girl was doing. I highly, highly recommend working with her! :)

Safety, trust & environment
I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate bookings ranging from short notice to pre-planned extended stays. I take 5 mile walks daily at a local park, and am well-equipped to provide sporadic or long-term dog walking and pet visits.
Information Katy Ann G. would like to know about your pet
I realize that every pet is an individual and has certain temperaments. I’d love to learn more about your dog’s typical routine, any expected anxieties, habits, bedtime routine, temperament, and their favorite place to walk (and information on whether an isolated walk with no dogs around or a walk where dogs may be encountered is ok). Any information that can help ease the transition of me entering into your pet’s routine would be helpful. I’d love to do anything possible to help make them feel more comfortable when initially seeing me as a stranger.
A typical day
I’d love to take your dog on recommended walking routes that they prefer. I typically walk daily at a large park near my home, and would love to help your dog have a fun and enjoyable walk! As far as in the home, I’d love to learn more about your pet’s favorite toys or activities to keep the environment as consistent to their expected norm as possible.

Availability
I would love to help give your pet attention through walking, drop ins, or house stays. From having my own pets, I understand the anxiety that can come from leaving them in someone else’s care - and the anxiety that your pets can feel in that situation. My goal is to not only provide great care for your pet, but also help put your mind at ease.
