“Kat does a great job with all animals, especially dogs. In high school, she raised dogs for Guild Dog for the Blind as her FFA Project. Her dog attended school with her everyday while it learned social skills and public manners. Kat attended weekly training meeting for several years and was dedicated to the training of each dog in her care. One of the dogs became a guide for a blind person and the another became a full-time therapy dog. Kat took the therapy dog to many therapy training meetings and became a training for new therapy dogs in the group. Kat and her dogs went on several therapy visits to libraries, schools, nursing homes, 12 Step recovery programs with therapy dogs, and she worked with the police department for crisis therapy care. For the last six years, Kat has been showing AKC Border Collies in AKC Shows and she has two Grand Champion Dogs. She is currently training two puppy Border Collies for competition at the present time. Since then, she has done several private dog trainings sessions, and dog sitting, both at her house and other people's houses. for many people. Kat is very knowledgeable about dog care and training techniques.”

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. It started @ 5 yrs old showing sheep @ the KC Fair. I have had dogs and cats to hamsters and rats plus rabbits, sheep, goats, chickens and even a tortoise. I have taken care of many dogs with medical issues. I can give meds and wound care to general care of feeding, walking and playtime. My schedule is open for your schedule. I would love to make this my full time gig with your help. I would love the opportunity to care and love your pet as much as I love mine. I don't think I have ever meant a dog I didn't like! Caring for your pet is easy, just give them love and understanding. To be honest, my pets are a bit spoiled but have the general do's and don't understood. I'm not super strict because they are like a child that needs direction, not necessarily punishment.

About: I've been watching pets since I was 9. I've watched all kinds of pets. I have pet sat for family and friends. But I'm not a normal sitter. I have dog training under my belt, so if your pet needs to work on tricks or training I can help Once a week I walk my dog and every other day I give them special food like blueberries, pumpkin puree, and chicken in their food. If they are a cautious pet I sit with them and wait for them to come to me. Then when they feel comfortable with me I put my hand out for them to smell me. And if their Demeanor changes I go from there

20. Clarissa V.
About: As a little girl, I was always known as the “animal whisper” as my family knew I had a special way with animals. I grew up around farm and house pet animals my whole life and always had a heart for taking care of my own animals. I went to school wanting to become a veterinarian, however, with my current situation, I have needed to change my aspiration and focus on what is important. I am currently doing school online, so it will not affect my ability to dogsit. I am also pregnant with my son, so by his due date I will have a tighter schedule. As my client, I will tailor to your needs in anyway you need me too. If there are any specific needs that the animals have, I will make sure to give them the attention they need. I am great with all types of animals and am happy to help in any way you need.
