Information Katy M. would like to know about your pet

Any history of aggression with people or other animals, food allergies, if they need medication. And what kind of routine are they used to so I can try and stick as closely to it as possible.

A typical day

I love working the dogs mind and body, it’s great for their confidence and overall wellbeing. If weather and parents allow, I like to go hike at Brazos Bend with my doggos and would love to take yours with us!

Pets

Vet tech, experienced, local

Pet care experience

I am a former vet tech of 7 years, followed by cruelty investigator and now a local 501c, so very passionate about animals and welfare. I am certified in animal behavior and stress management. I am able to medicate animals with ease. I love all sizes and breeds. I love going on walks and exercising the dogs, but I also love snuggling on the couch watching tv with them. I worked in vet hospitals for 7 1/2 years and I myself have a 6 year old French bulldog named Miley who is a handful and a half, a golden retriever puppy named Murphy and 2 cats. I have been pet sitting for several years and do have references. I know some great spots for trails and if I have a swimmer, I know the place. It’s all about finding out what your pooch likes and forming a fun, safe, and overall happy experience for our four legged friends and also easing the owners worries while they're away. I am not home all day however my partner works remote and does very regular potty and playtime.

Katy and her wife were so great with Blondie. We could tell our pup was treated like their own and she enjoyed being spoiled. Katy’s medical expertise have us peace of mind with Blondie’s strict prescription diet and medication routine. Plenty of photos were sent which we appreciated as we missed our dog dearly on a week long stay and they were flexible with drop off and pick up time. We would not hesitate to leave Blondie with them again. Thanks for taking great care of our girl!
