About: I am a person dedicated to animal welfare and I specialize in the care of adult dogs, although I also have experience with puppies. My priority is that each dog feels safe, calm and happy, like at home. I offer a complete and personalized care that includes: Daily walks with attention to your pace and needs Food according to their schedules and special diets Medication administration (if needed) Baths and basic hygiene care Much love, patience and company Your dog will be in good hands, with someone who really loves what he does. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine. From early in the morning until the end of the day, I organize my time according to the needs of each dog under my care. Each walk, meal, game or moment of rest is part of a routine designed with love and responsibility. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules, adapt activities according to the dog's age and energy, and always be attentive to its physical and emotional well-being. More than a task, taking care of dogs is an essential part of my day to day and something I deeply enjoy. 1. Professional organization of space I have a clean, safe and adapted area according to the size and personality of each pet. I use beds, toys, and differentiated areas for rest, play and food. 2. Structured but flexible routine I plan the day with fixed schedules for walks, meals, baths, and rest time. I adapt to the specific needs of each pet (medication, diet, energy level). 3. Communication with the owners I maintain constant contact with the owners through messages, photos or videos. I inform you about how your pet is, if he eats well, if he plays, or if I notice something unusual. 4. Hygiene and well-being guaranteed I clean the spaces and utensils daily. If required, I give baths or perform basic hygiene care. 5. Security and responsibility I never leave pets alone or in a cage I know basic first aid for animals 6. Love, attention and respect I treat each pet as if it were mine. I strive to make them feel comfortable, calm and loved, like in their own home.
“Katelyn did a great job keeping our cat company and also keeping an eye on our two chickens. She also watered my daughter’s plants. Our cat was way less stressed than when we have boarded her during trips. We would hire her again.”
About: I've been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, rats, and birds my whole life. I've got experience caring for animals with special needs as well (diabetes, behavioral trouble, etc.) and am comfortable dosing medication too! Most importantly, I've never met an animal I didn't love and care for as if they were my very own! My work schedule is flexible, so I can work with you easily! Days, nights, and even late nights or overnights when needed are doable for me. I live near many parks and trails and love an outing, which allows me amazing access to enrichment activities and exercise for your pets! Walks and play will be engaging and fun for your pet. In your home, your pet AND your space will be respected and treated with care.
“Katherine was terrific caring for our shy cat Mozart while on vacation. Responsive, attentive, and kind, we really appreciated her approach. The video and photo updates were really nice as well. We highly recommend Katherine and definitely will be using her again whenever we need a pretty sitter.”
“It was my first time booking through the app and I'm so glad I did! Kristin was great. We needed a short notice sitter and she even made time to meet my dogs beforehand! She sent me text updates throughout the weekend with each time she dropped by and sent me pictures of my dogs and what they were up to! Can't wait to book with her again!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter, other than family, and we are extremely pleased with the experience. Cassie went above and beyond, taking care of our cats and home while we were away. Even our very shy cat, who takes days to come out while visitors are here, was out within a day and looking forward to her visits. Regular updates, photos, and personable accounts of the visits all added up to easing our minds about how the cats were doing, and we can't thank Cassie enough for her care of 2 of our furry family members! Highly recommend and will be calling Cassie for sure next time we need someone to watch the cats.”

My schedule is pretty open and I'd love to help anyone at any moment with their fur babies! I've lived in a dog household for most of my childhood, but currently have a bearded dragon and tarantula. I used to own a cat, and even took care of her litter when she had babies! All of them were healthy and now have loving homes❤️ I used to take care of a senior dog for my neighbor who had a disability which could make him agressive if you made a move he didn't like, even after a few bites I still understood him and continued looking after him!

Heather W.
“Heather has been nothing short of perfect with my three dogs (a yellow lab, a bernedoodle, and an adopted mixed breed). They all adore her and get so excited when she comes to visit. She is also a wonderful parent to her own dog, Peanut, a Staffordshire bull terrier who has a heart condition. He was not expected to live past three years old but he just recently turned eight which I think is a real testament to how loved and well taken care of he is.”
