Dog Whisperer! Lots of experience!

Pet care experience

Caring, attentive dog sitting in my home and clients' homes. Experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. I have owned a Golden Retriever, Viszla, Mixed Lab/Collie, Black Lab. Occasionally, I take care of Fee, my daughter's 4 lb Chihuhua/Terrier and her husband's 90 lb Lab.! My other canine friends include Max, Scout, Cherry and Valley. I would love to talk with you about caring for your special family member.

Kate was great! She treated our dog was patience and compassion. He seemed very happy with her. I will definitely reach out again next time we visit Portland.

Nan seemed to have a great stay with Kate — who was kind and communicative. Would stay again and highly recommend :)

Safety, trust & environment

Basically, I would follow your guidelines regarding your dog's needs and routines. That would apply to taking care of your dog in your home and mine. I live in an apartment and have easy access to outdoor space for walks and exercise.

Information Kate H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your canine has special needs and what I may expect in terms of behavioral patterns and special activities. Having information on a dog's temperament and health condition is very helpful.

A typical day

I love to go on walks and encourage dogs to socialize and play. Often I go to outdoor spaces, including Portland Parks and Trails, which is a great place for dogs to explore on on leash. Dog parks are a possibility if your dog is well socialized. A typical day would include getting up early, feeding and watering, multiple walks and playing indoors and outdoors.
