Husky mom turned pet caretaker
Pet care experience
I've had dogs and cats all my life and finally got my own husky when I was 22. After years of walks, runs, car rides, and millions of training books I had to say goodby. While I'm not ready for a new husky I still walk and run as if he were still here and miss the friendship. I would love to help out a neighbor who is looking for someone to help them with their dog or cat.
Reviews
I can't say enough good things about Katy! I've known her for a long time and she is one of the most caring and loving pet owner I've ever met. She frequently watches our dog Dakota who absolutely adores her. Katy loves taking her for long walks and adventures - she's great about communicating and consistently sends updates and photos! I would 100% recommend choosing Katy to care for your dog. You will be able to enjoy your trip and have peace of mind your dog is in the best of hands!
Katy is responsible, loving and organized! I highly recommend her! She is compassionate and has always loved dogs! If you hire Katy you will not be disappointed! Your little fur-paws will be so happy and thankful that you hired Katy!
Katy is a phenomenal pet mom! She’s kind, caring and patient. I trust her to take care of my 12-year-old cat whenever I’m out of town.

I've been Covid vaccinated since the end of January with Pfizer so I'm happy to go to your home and spend time with your pets or even bring them over to my house (I have a fully fenced yard) for a few hours a day if they are good with kids. Dogs need a lot of exercise and playtime. I'm very good at following routines or helping to create one when they are with me.
Information Katy B. would like to know about your pet
The more I know about your pup or dog the better I can take care of them. E.g. do they have a favorite toy, how are they when they see other dogs and they are on the leash, food and water instructions, nervous habits, what calms them. Typically the more information the better.
A typical day
I am a runner. So I am happy to take your pup or dog for a 2-4 mile run. If they like to play catch or swim I love to do activities with them. If they aren't good off-leash I'm okay with going to a dog park if they are socialized to get some playtime in.

I'm currently working part-time Monday - Wednesday but would love to use my runs and walks Thursday - Sunday to help exercise and watch your pet.
