Oodles of Love and Attention :)

Pet care experience

Let me shower your pooch with oodles of love and attention! We're talkin long walks, lots of play, petting, and grooming services :) I love dogs and they love me. I grew up with a Beagle, and have experience caring for dogs from pit mixes to yorkies, including those who may need special attention for medical care or those rescued from abusive homes. Let me care for your dog while you're away for the weekend or the week. You can expect long walks, play and attention, any special care as needed, and of course oodles of love and attention! Why I love dog sitting We grew up with a Beagle named Tipster, a mischievous fellow with a stubborn streak and a penchant for barking at anything that moved. I helped train him as a girl, and administered his seizure medications for 14 years before he passed away several winters ago. Two years ago, my sister and I dog-sat for our neighbor's cat Grace, and yorkie Lou, when they had to be out of town and we enjoyed it immensely. Currently, I spend a lot of time with my brother's pup, Buddy Dude, a pit-vizsla mix who was rescued from an abusive owner just over five years ago. I am so happy when I get to spend time with Buddy, and after my wonderful experience with Grace and Lou, I knew dogsitting would be perfect for me. My experience administering medication Yes, I have experience with administering medications orally or via injection

Katy housesat for my 12 year old pug this past weekend and did a fantastic job! Our pug is a little older and needs some extra care and Katy did great with her special needs. The house was left pristine. Would definitely recommend!

Katy is GREAT! We have an older dog who requires special attention and medication and know that she'll get the extra care needed when Katy is taking care of her! We have always been happy with her responsiveness, flexibility and overall positive attitude. We can leave town and enjoy our time away without stress knowing that we will come home to happy and healthy puppies!

Information Katy G. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and levels of furriness. Let me know how I can work with you and your dog if there are any behavioral tidbits or training you'd like me to work on with your dog.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live close to Gas Works Park and the Burke Gilman Trail. If your dog doesn't mind the car, we'll head over to the UW campus or other parks for walks and play time :) Time I'll spend with your dog On weekdays, I work 8-5. Time outside of that is devoted to your pooch. When I'm sitting, I try to spend as much time as possible with your dog. I know he's part of your family and I want him to feel like he's my best buddy too! Does your dog crave a long walk? We'll visit the beach or a hiking trail! Is your dog happiest on an extended day trip? I'd love to have your dog's company exploring the greater Seattle area, on a walking adventure in the city, a ferry to Bremerton, or maybe a county fair! Long walks or trips aren't an option? Rest assured, your dog will have frequent short walks to stretch his legs :) Extra house-sitting services Of course! Let me know if you'd like me to stay at your home, water plants, feed the fish, or care for additional animals
