About: I can teach your dog a few tricks and help with any if they're still in the process of learning. I'll go above and beyond for dogs. I loved taking my dog on walks and playing with him. I'll care for your dog as if he/she were my own. I never thought of dogs as pets. They're more like family to me. I'll take time to walk or play with them. I've met people that would sit there and listen to their dog wine and play with their toys alone. A lot of people with pets don't have much experience so they usually can't tell whenever it's time for a potty break. Whenever I would go over to a friends house, I'd usually care for their dog myself and sometimes I would give the main caregiver tips on how to care for him/her. And I would also try to get them to understand why they would do certain things. I'll take care of every need. Going to the bathroom, assisting to the bathroom ( for senior dogs ), potting training, playing with them and give the appropriate amount of attention. I'll make them food and if he/she were to have a special diet, I will do my best to make it special for them. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world❤️

“Whenever I come to town I love knowing I will be able to board Spyro with Kaitlyn & not have to worry about his care. She is very responsible. She will send updates while you’re away!! Spyro loves visiting Kaitlyn’s back yard!”

“I've known nick a long time. Always took good care of his dogs. His dog, Big Red, he loved him so much. He'd run around the house with him. Take him on walks, play in the yard with him, and he'd let him sleep at his feet at night. He sadly pasted away from Pavo about a year ago. He had it as a puppy so when he got it this time... it happened out out of no where. He doesn't like talking about him that much. That was his best friend. His a good hearted and smartest person I know. Giving him a chance, is the best thing you can do. Best person I've ever met and amazing with dogs!!”
