“I have known Katie for almost 20 years and for as long as I can remember she has always had pets and has loved and cared for them as if they were her own children. I am very particular for who watches my dogs and when I do need a pet sitter she is my first call. When she does care for them, she treats them as if they were her own pets. She follows their schedule and the instructions I give her very closely. If she has questions she doesn’t hesitate to reach out and clarify. She is one of the most loving and caring individuals I know and I know will treat your animals with the love and respect that they deserve!”

About: As a dog caretaker, I have a passion for caring for and nurturing furry friends. I have always had a deep love for dogs, and my years of experience in the field have taught me how to provide them with the best care possible. From feeding and grooming to exercise and playtime, I take great pride in making sure that each dog in my care receives the attention and love they deserve. One of the most important aspects of being a dog caretaker is understanding the unique needs and personalities of each individual dog. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog who requires extra patience and care, I am dedicated to providing personalized care for each dog in my care. I understand that every dog is different, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable environment that meets their specific needs. In addition to my years of experience in dog care, I am also committed to ongoing education and professional development. I regularly attend seminars and workshops to learn about new techniques and technologies in the field, as well as to stay up-to-date on the latest research and best practices in dog care. I believe that ongoing learning is key to providing the best possible care for the dogs in my care. Above all, I am dedicated to providing a loving, nurturing environment for each and every dog in my care. Whether it's a quick check-in or a long-term stay, I take my role as a caretaker seriously and am committed to making sure that every dog receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. I believe that dogs are truly special creatures, and it is an honor to be able to care for them and make a positive impact in their lives. As a remote worker, my schedule can be unpredictable at times. However, I am committed to providing the best possible care for the dogs in my life, which is why dog day care is such an important part of my routine. By enrolling my furry friends in a reputable dog day care facility, I am able to ensure that they are receiving the socialization, exercise, and attention they need, even on days when I am tied up with work obligations. This not only benefits the dogs, but it also allows me to focus on my work with peace of mind, knowing that my pets are being well-cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. Additionally, dog day care provides a valuable opportunity for my dogs to interact with other dogs and people, which helps to promote healthy socialization and prevent behavioral issues. Overall, dog day care is a vital component of my schedule as a remote worker, as it allows me to prioritize both my work and my beloved furry companions. Having a fenced yard and providing constant supervision, coupled with love, is the ideal environment for dogs. A fenced yard provides dogs with the freedom to play and exercise in a safe and secure environment, while constant supervision ensures that they are always being looked after and protected from potential hazards. This combination of factors promotes both physical and mental health, as dogs are able to engage in their natural behaviors while also feeling secure and loved. Furthermore, the bond between a dog and their caretaker is strengthened through constant supervision and affection, creating a positive and trusting relationship. Overall, a fenced yard and constant supervision, combined with love, provides the best possible conditions for dogs to thrive and lead happy and healthy lives.

About: I have volunteered at an animal shelter for 6 years, and fell in love with it. I would take dogs on walks and read to them to soothe the stress of a shelter. Our pets need the utmost care, so I would love to take care of your pet! I am currently a full time student. I do take some online classes that allow me for more flexible hours. I am open to other hours and schedules. I will always try my best to serve you and your pet. I treat my dog as if she is my baby. I believe we should care about our pets as much as they care about us. Pets really understand us and even listen to us. Even though they may not speak like us it’s important to also tend to their needs.
