Pet care experience

I love to go to dog parks!

About this sitter: Hi, I am a 40 year old mother of two. I currently work part time as a school bus driver. I just moved to St. Louis Park and have no problem driving to New Hope, Plymouth, Crystal, Robbinsdale or parts of BP or BC. My daughter is in her first year of College, and my son is in 11th grade. We have a black cat named Vader. I’ve had dogs, I've worked with dogs, I use to have puppies and have watched them and helped with their birth. I learned early on how to care for dogs from birth to passing. I've given diabetes shots to dogs, pills, and eye medicine. I keep a close eye on changes and attention to detail. Why I love dog sitting I grew up with two medium sized Rottweiler's. Mother and daughter. I had a bird when I was 16, parakeet. Cat since I was 10 he has since passed on. Parents have a miniature pincher. I had 3 cats when I lived in Iowa. I also had 2 girl rats, they don't live very long so they are not with us any more. I currently share my space with my children's cat Vader. I love animals in general. Meet my pets We have an 2 year old cat. My experience administering medication I've had to do it for my own pets, so yes I can. Shots or pills I can do Sometimes I have nothing going on all day long. Having a cat or dog to visit with helps me get out of my own home.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I enter your home and greet your pet as you would. If I am there to feed your pet, walk, or just let outside to go potty. I show them love an affection while you are away. Maybe play ball or tug-of-war.

Katy did a great job with my dog, who was dealing with an injury/health issues before I left for my trip. She was able to give medication and follow instructions to ensure my dog was comfortable and happy. She also kept my house in great shape during her stay. Thank you, Katy!

When our elderly dog became sick with a cough, vet visit and needed medication and isolation from other dogs within days of our planned trip we needed someone to come into our home for care, rather than her usual kennel care. Katy was prompt in her reply, the meet and greet was quickly arranged and our lab seemed comfortable with her. Katy was reliable and sent us regular feedback and photos. When we returned our dog seemed her usual contented and happy self. She had completed her medication and her cough had improved.

Katy was great! She stayed with my babies at my home. My pups were happy and seemed to be way less stressed than when kenneled while we’re gone. I will definitely hire Katy again!!
