Pet care experience

I've had pets since I was 10 years old, including cats and dogs. I have often been called on to care for neighbor's and family member's cats, dogs, and bunnies. We welcome them all like they are our own, although I personally take all responsibility for care of visiting pets. We lost our beloved pit bull in 2022, but having a new baby has kept us from adopting again just yet. Right now the middle ground of pet-sitting is perfect in the meantime. I try my best to stick to your pet's schedule when they're home with you, with walks at the same times as they're accustomed to. I'm also very happy to accommodate just your pet(s) at a time! Safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I never want you to worry that your pet isn't getting along with another animal.

Katherine was great, Vader really enjoyed his stay with her! She kept me up to date on how he was doing and sent me pictures frequently. I’d highly recommend her and will be using her in the future.

Awesome experience! My dog loved it there over the long weekend and came home happy healthy and tired. Long morning walks, great yard, and the kids made her feel her right at home-and they had plenty of blankies to share! Lots of pictures and great communication during the visit. Highly recommend. Definitely gonna be back!!

Katherine and her family were wonderful with our dog, Simon. We got daily updates and photos of him having a great time, so we never had to worry how he was doing. Simon enjoyed his vacation as much as we did!

Safety, trust & environment

I love animals and I've always let our furry visitors on the couch and bed with us (if that's what they're accustomed to). They truly become part of the family during their visits! We spend lots of time outside and everyone in the house shows them affection. We can also crate dogs if requested.

Information Katherine S. would like to know about your pet

It's very important that dogs are comfortable around children, as I have 2! One is a toddler and the other is 10. They both LOVE dogs and will want to play with and snuggle your pups. I will supervise all interactions though to ensure no one is feeling uncomfortable.

A typical day

We have a great yard with lots of dog toys for those who like to fetch! We also have a 2 mile trail that we use on a daily basis for walks.
