Purrson Dawgtor + Pet Lover!

Pet care experience

My childhood cat and dog lived 19 and 17 years, respectively, so I understand that pets are important members of your family! I promise to treat them as if they were my own. I'll also send a daily picture of them with a quick update. Currently I have two cats, Schmidt (8) and Honeybadger (3), that I both raised since kittens. In the past I've lived with roommates/family pets including a Husky, Cavalier King Charles, American Eskimo, German Shepherd and several cats. I regularly took care of them including walks, cleaning the litter box and play/exercise. Notably, my training in medicine allows me to provide more care to pets which have special needs (e.g., medicine, wound care). For example, I have experience administering eye drops for a kitten with congenital glaucoma.

Katy watched our 3 pups for 3 nights over the Christmas break and it was a great experience! She was very flexible with times and sent pictures or video called when asked. We had great communication the whole time and I came home to a tidy clean home. I will definitely book again.

Katy did an awesome job! She watched my 90lb Rottweiler for 10 days and we came back to a happy and relaxed dog and a well kept house. We couldn’t appreciate her more for being so present with the dog and giving her an abundance of playtime. She seemed attuned to our dog well and sent plenty of pics and updates!

Super friendly and sweet! Took great care of my babies and checked in at the listed times. She sent me videos and pictures every time she checked in on them. My babies loved her and I would definitely book again.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat clients' homes with respect for their property and privacy. I also have experience with extended stays. I recently spent 5 weeks in San Francisco taking care of one dog and two cats as a live in pet sitter. Because I was staying there, the pets had access to me whenever they needed. I also performed house tasks such as signing off on packages, watering plants and weekly light housekeeping.

Information Katy G. would like to know about your pet

General information about temperament, preferences, feeding schedule and special needs. Favorite activities and toys. Active medical conditions and treatment. Significant fears (e.g., thunder). History of aggression.

A typical day

Your pet will be showered with love and attention. We'll go on walks, play with toys and snuggle up. Bonus: I love behavior training both cats and dogs using treats so hopefully we can learn a few tricks while you're away!
