I love all pets like my very own!

Pet care experience

I have always had pets, as long as I can remember. And I was always kinda in trouble for bringing home rescues! But my Mama quickly got on board with whatever animal I had rescued that day! And now, as an adult, I still find myself pulling over on the side of a busy highway to rescue a terrified dog in danger, and stopping my busy day to try for an hour to coax a hungry kitty to me from an alley so I can take them home and feed them and bathe them and show them love. They really deserve it. I really wish that I could save all of them.

Information Katy D. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know what, if any medications your dog may be on, and also what specific times they need to take them. Injections as well. I actually have experience with this, as my last dog, a Pomeranian named Ladybird, was a severe diabetic. She required a strict and prescribed dogfood diet, as well as 2 Insulin injections at the very same time every single day. Also, I have saved my friend's puppy when it was just a baby. My friend, Jimmy, had a new baby Pitbull pup who had contracted Parvo. He called me and asked me if I could please help him because he felt he could not deal with this. I had NEVER once done it, but of course, I immediately said yes I will help. So, I had to keep a Saline IV into this tiny puppy's belly, and numerous other things constantly to fight like Hell to try to keep this tiny baby from dying. It was very dire, and so very sad. Jimmy could not even manage to come in to see the poor thing. He had put me up into a nice hotel room with just the pup, so that we were not at his home exposing his other pets to the Parvo, nor at my apt to keep this Parvo contained. I was there with only this pup, and Jimmy would bring me whatever I or the baby needed, but would NOT come inside because he could not bear to see his pup like that. I had NEVER EVER done this before. Yet I absolutely HAD to try and give it my best. For Jimmy and for that poor helpless baby. So, I was there working with this pup for about 19 days and against all possible odds, the lil guy actually pulled through. I had done it. It was soooooo hard and sad but I could NOT believe he lived! Jimmy cried and we cried together. He named her Diamond, she grew big and strong, she was his baby girl from birth to her death of old age a few years ago. She also gave Jimmy a beautiful and healthy litter of 5 pups in her lifetime. It was so surreal. Awesome. I will always do whatever is in my power to help the babies. I love them all.

A typical day

I will walk, run, play fetch, swim, snuggle, lounge, and absolutely whatever that specific dog will be accustomed to and/or whatever specific things the the owner may request of me to do with their dog(s). I will always do the absolute best to keep any dogs I care for very happy, very loved, very healthy, and very busy under my care. I love all the babies!
