Kate's Dog Sitting
Pet care experience
Hi I'm Kate! I am a current "senior" at Southern Connecticut State University, majoring in biology. I really found a passion for animals when I was highschool. I have interned at the Beardsley zoo for about a year a and gained a lot of exotic animal knowledge. Not only was my at the zoo extremely fun, but it was also a great learning opportunity. After working there I really had a passion for animals, so I found a position at a local animal hospital in Milford, and have worked there for a few months. At the hospital, I do daily feeding/walkings/ cleaning / play time. I can have anywhere from 1-25 dogs at a time, so I feel very comfortable handling more than one dog if need be. At the hospital I'm also required to give medications that are needed, so I am very comfortable with that as well! I currently have a five month old Australian Shepard named Macie, she is a total sweetheart and loves everyone she meets. I understand the time and care that needs to go into taking care of someone's best friend and I would love to help take care of yours!
Reviews
Kate provided communication throughout the week w video of the dogs :). It was very reassuring to get daily updates and videos as of course we worry. She was very reachable and provided feedback to any questions we had
Kate watched our two small dogs for three nights during the holidays. She was incredibly responsive from the get-go, setting up a meet and greet quickly after we chatted online. For the actual stay, she arrived on time and the dogs appeared to have a good time with her. She kept in touch with us, sending pics while we were away. She also accommodated a last minute need to give meds to one of our pets, and we were confident that if anything went wrong, the dogs would be in great hands because of her experience working at a vet. We trusted Kate with our home and our pups, and she did not disappoint!
