WFH w/ fenced yard and beach
Pet care experience
I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door that leads out to the porch. Although I work full time, I have flexible hours and can even work from home when I want - I will be able to offer as much supervision as you want. I love to take my dog hiking or to the dog beach, and your dog is welcome to come along on our adventures! My own dog is a boxer/lab/beagle mix who gets along great with all other animals. As an older gal, she is happy to hang out with your dog but won’t be interested in playing. I long-term and short-term fostered dogs in the past for local dog rescue groups, so I've watched a wide variety of dogs. I also have experience working with reactive dogs, including leash reactivity. I use positive reinforcement only and am more than happy to work with your dog to overcome their fears or reactivity on walks. If necessary, I can do crate-and-rotate or put up a baby gate in my house if that's what your dog needs (although those dogs would be accepted into my home on a case-by-case basis).
Reviews
First off, Katy saved me when I was in a pickle. I needed to find a sitter for the weekend in less than 12 hours and she was able to help immediately! Katy is super sweet and took great care of Noah (: She kept me updated the whole time I was away and I wasn't nervous to leave him with her at all. I could tell that from the moment she met him it was gonna be fine because Noah was instantly comfortable with her. I definitely recommend Katy as a sitter for your pups ?

Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to take breaks from work to go walk to the private neighborhood beach. The beach area is fenced in so your dog can even have offleash time with your approval.
Home
Information Katy C. would like to know about your pet
All breeds welcome! Please let me know if your dog has any reactivity or behavioral issues so I can appropriately set up my house. Please also let me know about any destructive tendencies while left alone if I have to step out, and bring your own crate if needed.
A typical day
I take daily walks with my dog to our neighborhood beach. I also have a fenced in yard. I love hiking and have a Florida State Parks pass and would be happy to take your dog to Pennekamp, Dagny Johnson, or Windley Key.
