You can also view my website at www[dot]ladywithadog[dot]weebly[dot]com. Thank you. Everyone only wants the best care for their family members when they can't join in a special occasion away from home. There are no exceptions for family pets! If you are one of the lucky few who can bring your furry family members wherever you go, I am insanely jealous. But if you are like the rest of us, you need someone to care for your pets while you are away. That's where I come in. I came to really enjoy being around animals at a very young age and can vividly remember playing with a neighbor's dog at two years old. I was given a pair of hamsters when I was four and immediately fell in love with them! Being pocket pets, they were not too big for my small hands, so I carried them around everywhere in my house. My only dog was rescued from a shelter, and his name was Chico. He was an apricot Chihuahua/Miniature Poodle mix, and he was so scared. I took care of him and he became my protector; he would literally try to bite ankles with all six of his teeth. It was a valiant effort, but he never accomplished much in that area. But he loved me and I loved him! After his passing in 2002, I began pet-sitting to fill the void of his loss. I have been fortunate enough to have been asked to care for many pets since then! I started pet-sitting with a pair of Weimaraners named Maggie and Enzo. I cared for them after school before their owner arrived home from her late shift at work. I realized I really loved being involved in the care of animals, so I have continued pet-sitting since then. In the years to come, I would care for cats, hamsters, Koi fish, and every size of dog from Yorkshire Terriers to English Mastiffs. I remember each one for different reasons, and every one of them still make me smile. As far as my real-life goes, I am the proud Fairy-Dog-Mother to my God-parents' two (yes, two!) 200lb English Mastiffs and a 15lb Bichon Frise who thinks he's a 200lb English Mastiff. We don't tell him differently--he would just tell us we were delusional. I take care of them when my God-parents are out of town and have done so for many years. I am also a recent graduate from UNM with a high honors Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts. I am not currently able to take care of pets in my own home, but I am willing to commute within a 15 mi radius including Talpa, Arroyo Hondo, and Arroyo Seco.

I have 4 dogs and finding a competent pet sitter is a blessing! Katy is reliable, trustworthy, and really knowledgeable about dog behavior. She sends texts updates with pics frequently so I know how my fur babies are doing. I always feel good about having Katy in charge when I'm gone and the dogs like her, too.

Katy is very responsible, caring, and my dogs love her. They are always happy to see her and I am very comfortable with having Katy in my home.
