I love to go to dog parks!

Pet care experience

To all my previous pet owners I have moved, I will be charging an additional $10 service fee as your home maybe out of my service area. About this sitter: I am a 37 year old mother of two. I work Part Time as a school bus driver. Please just message me if you need help one day and I will let you know when I can swing by. I am also a part time shuttle bus driver during the winter months. My daughter is in 10th grade and my son is in 8th grade. We have a kitten. 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 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 kitten Vader. I love animals in general. Meet my pets We have an 11 month old kitten. 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.

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!!

Halfway through sitting was contacted that she would not be able to complete the house sitting. Had to figure out someone to take care of the pets and house 1500 miles away sitting in a theme park. No reason given. She worked out well on previous sitting.

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.

I work part time AM and PM shifts. I am available late mornings to early afternoon. I’m available after work during the week. During the winter months I’m working on the weekends as well. I will be happy to help you out while you are away any time I can fit in to my already busy schedule. I now work during the summer about 6-7 hours a day with no break so I could do morning and after work care. It’s cheaper to book a house sitting but during the week I can not do overnights as I work the next morning early and don’t normally sleep well at others homes. I can provide care before work after my first shift during the school year and after my second shift till 9pm. If you have anymore questions just ask.
