Kate’s Bio
I have lived in Ithaca for 23 years and I am the proud mother of two young adults. I have always worked in the human services and the social services field that focus on the care and welfare of families and individuals. I understand how important a pet can be to a person or family. Sometimes it is a dog or cat who soothes a grieving child or brings a family together. I always viewed my work with individuals and families as looking at the bigger picture--sometimes children need to learn how to gently hold newborn kittens, other times families need to be acknowledged for the hard work they do in raising rare snakes.
I grew up around dogs. My parent got our first dog--a toy poodle when I was five. Since she was from a champion line, they bred her, and I was able to witness the birth of her puppies. When the puppies were a few days old, I was allowed to hold each one gently to socialize them. When I was eight, my parents purchased a 7- week old champion collie puppy. I spent every day after school with him and taught him many tricks.
When I was 14, I started babysitting for my parents friends' cats and dogs when I was a teen.I gained a lot of experience working with shy animals, rescue animals and animals on a medication schedule. Sometimes, a family would hire me just for pet care and at other times it was part of a child care job. As an adult, I have often cared for friends dogs and/or cats when they were on vacation.
Over the past 22 years I have consistently raised cats and dogs. I currently have a sweet, beautiful 9 year mixed breed female dog who I adopted as a puppy from the local SPCA. I am a very gentle a caregiver and do not believe in any form of punishment. My hours are flexible as is my fee. My major limitation is that I cannot provide pet care services in my own home but I do have reliable transportation and am willing to travel to your home. I am a non-smoker and college educated.
