Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their instructions for routine, feeding, walks, etc. I understand that every pet is different and will always treat each one as an individual, never as "just another client". In my home, I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding and walks, and we’ll play and do whatever the pet is comfortable with. Sometimes they’re skittish in a new environment and won’t do their normal things — and that’s totally okay!

Information Nancy K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs your pet has, or any behaviors that need special attention. With instruction, I am happy to administer medications as needed.

A typical day

I try to stimulate dogs both physically and mentally. We’ll play games, check out all the fun smells on our walk, explore parks, and watch the squirrels! Cats are different, of course, and I always modify my interactions with them based on their personalities and needs. If kitty doesn’t like being social, I’ll leave her alone. If he loves people, then we’ll snuggle and play as long as he allows!

Pets

Reliable and Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

I've had a pet of some kind for as long as I can remember. There were family cats while I was growing up, my friends' cats and dogs, my sister's dogs, my roommate's cats, and my own cat, who I had for 17 of his 18 years. He passed away last June and I miss him terribly…but I just recently adopted two new kitties and I am in love! I'm told I give the best doggie massages ever, too. My best friend's dog literally leads me to the couch whenever I visit and plops down for his special Aunt Nancy rubs. I like to meet the pets where they're at - so if your pets like to play, or if they're more of a cuddle-bug, I give them the kind of attention they need.
