Extra soft spot for "giants"

Pet care experience

**Not taking new clients at this time** *Dean will likely need to come with me when house-sitting.* He gets along with nearly-all dogs & has helped me with nervous dogs who are leery of new people. He's enjoys snuggling & being chased, and isn't toy or food aggressive. I grew up an only child helping raise/train/show English Mastiffs. Have also had several hounds & I foster for BROOD Basset Rescue when I can. Have had experience handling most other types of dogs as well & there isn't a type I won't consider working with. I can also take care of a variety of special needs. Frequently I take my Dean-beagle & Jerry-midget Lab to the Leesburg dog park, for an hour or two at a time on most days the weather allows. Ask me about taking your pup, too! Due to COVID, I no longer work for the boarding kennel in Leesburg. I had a blast! but lack of people taking vacations meant I was no longer needed. I now have an office job in Fairfax, with a slightly flexible p/t schedule. Contact me with the dates, times you need and let's see what we can work out. My well-socialized dog will usually come with me. I'm very comfortable walking multiple dogs at once as long as they have fairly good manners. Sorry, I don't run. For those of you who read my profile, here's a code that will save you money on your first booking: KATYH61392.

I can't say enough good things about Katy! She took great care of Finn for two days while I was working 12 hour shifts. She was awesome with updating me throughout Finn's walk/playtime which put me at ease. Finn was spoiled for the past two days. I look forward to using Katy again in the future. Finn loves her and we do too. Thanks Katy!

Katy was responsive and so easy to work with! She sent me pictures of my pet every day and my cat seemed very content and well-cared-for when I got home from my trip :)

Katy was wonderful! The dogs got along so well and even the cat was chill about it. She kept us updated with pictures. The animals got all the love, affection, and attention as if we were home! She's our number 1 pick for animal/ house sitting! Thank you Katy!

Information Katy H. would like to know about your pet

Please have a separate profile created for each fur-kid. It helps me know them each as individuals, their likes & dislikes, as well as feeding and all other care. Otherwise, I can't think of anything specific, just please be upfront about both the wonderful things and the not-so-wonderful things about your dog(s). I can be most effective when we have open communication.

A typical day

It depends on what your dog likes to do. When ever possible, we'll spend an hour or 2 (sometimes more, depending on weather) at the dog park. There's plenty of balls to chase if that's your pup's preference.
