Pet care experience

All-Around Pet Care

Offering pet care in the North Valleys areas. Lots of experience with animals of all kinds, from farms to homes to cages to tanks. I currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats, 1 horse, and a bearded dragon of my own! Over the years and growing up I've owned rabbits, horses, goats, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and cared for even more. I grew up on a horse ranch throughout my teen years and have worked with many vets (large and small animal).

Was not home during drop off of our one year old Rottweiler, we left the dog with her young children and since our dog is still a puppy she is teething and still chews on everything so we placed a muzzle on her to protect the sitters stuff . But since she wasn’t there so we could explain this to her, the children seemed frightened by her and 4 minutes later was asked to pick up dog because she assumed puppy was aggressive, not the case at all , my dog is big but super friendly and very playful. When my husband picked our dog back up the dog was literally laying on the floor in the kitchen with the kids not aggressive at all, we had to find a last minute boarding place, we literally had a flight to Europe that night! Read review before that she had canceled the same day .. I should have known better. Never using this app again.

Katy was so welcoming and caring for our 8 month old pup. He had a lot of fun playing with her dog and was so sleepy afterward! She sent photos and updates while we were away and treated him as part of the family. I made a booking mistake and our pup had to stay an extra night but Katy was very accommodating and I appreciate it so much! I highly recommend Katy.

The absolute best with my baby. Kept me informed daily of how my baby was doing and sent pics too. Will never choose another person to watch my baby.
