About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I mostly grew up around German Shepards and miniature Dobermans. I have two dogs of my own named Milo and Bear. I adopted Milo when he was a little less than a year from the pound. I got Bear just 6 months later from someone who couldn’t keep him. I love dogs and want to help take care of your pets! I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home. Working from home gives me flexibility to be able to be there for your pets. In my home or your home your pets safety and well being is my top priority. I will treat your pets with the same love l treat mine with. I believe pictures and videos are important to provide to show you how your pet is doing. I also send updates about your pets like what they’ve been up to and if I have concerns I definitely would let you know. I do live in a one bedroom apartment but I have a front yard I can take your dogs out for fresh air and to use the bathroom.

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.

Kat is very knowledgeable about dog care and training techniques.”
