Pet care experience
🐶Providing professional pet care services to the North Atlanta (East Cobb, Marietta, Kennesaw, Sandy Springs, Chastain Park, & Cumberland/The Battery) & Savannah areas, as well as travel house/petsitting! 🐱 🐩 🐈 🐐 🐎 🐓 🦆 🦜 🦚 🐰 🦔 🦎 🐢 🐠 Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine. Animals have always been part of my family and you can rest assured that I will treat your pet(s) as if they are my "fur(or furless)-nieces/nephews"! Which, of course, means lots of love & attention, fun, safe & responsible activities, patience, understanding, compassion, and all-around great care! I'm a dog mom to three rescue pups as well as two rescued juvenile axolotls (also known as "water dogs") and a rescued guinea pig, all with wonderfully unique personalities. I adore all dogs and animals, including the ones I have yet to meet. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, breeds, backgrounds, and levels of need, as well as a variety of other animals (including cats, horses, birds, reptiles, amphibians, farm animals, rodents, and more)! This includes over 15 years of taking care of my own pets, and those of friends, neighbors, and clients, as well as many years of experience working and volunteering in animal rescue/shelter environments (including positive reinforcement training with Victoria Stilwell), the Georgia Aquarium (including the water quality, commissary, husbandry, and quarantine departments), wildlife rehab, the veterinary setting (as a vet assistant), and the animal-assisted therapy field (canines and equines). In addition, I worked as a research assistant in canine cognition and helped train service and detection dogs while pursuing my degree. After graduating and moving to a different state, I missed engaging with and caring for such a wonderful variety of animals on a weekly/daily basis and the rewarding heartfelt connections one can make with animals, which is what brought me here to Rover! I love working with all types of pets and I have a soft spot for animals who are misunderstood/stigmatized by society when it comes to their species, breed, and/or special needs!

UPDATE 5/18/22: My spouse, Joseph, has been added to my account as a Rover vetted and approved caretaker, which includes passing Rover's background check process. He grew up with Poodles and has many years of experience caring for dogs. I will continue to be the primary pet care provider, as he works FT at Dobbins AFB, but this means your pets will now get excellent care and attention from both of us at no additional cost! We provide lots of attention, fun, safe and responsible activities, patience, understanding, compassion, and all-around great care individually catered around your pet's likes/preferences, needs, and comfort level! We're looking forward to the opportunity to meet, play with, and provide excellent, quality care for your beloved pets! Looking forward to hearing from you and your pets soon! *Kind woofs & tailwags!* 🐾🐶🐾 Military Servicemember, Honorably Discharged/Ret. Veteran, First Responder, Frontline Medical Worker, or Teacher?

Information Katy & Joseph R. would like to know about your pet
We request that you provide proof of up-to-date vaccination/titer status and HW/flea preventative meds for all types of services. Proof of UTD vaccines/titer tests, negative HW test, and HW/flea preventatives are REQUIRED for daycare, boarding, and pet chaffeur services. Anything you'd like for me to know about your pet. You know them best, and I love hearing what you have to say about them! Any allergies/food restrictions and medical conditions. Vet contact info (in case of emergencies -- always better to be prepared).
A typical day
Lots of belly rubs, fun, love and attention. I love getting to know a dog's unique personality and their favorite things to do! I enjoy walking in nature with pups, so if you have hiking trails or a nature preserve nearby I'll happily walk them there.
