Information Catherine K. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know your pet’s routine, their likes and dislikes. How far do they typically like to walk. I need to know any special needs they have in order to provide them the best care I can give.
A typical day
We will explore the neighborhood for all the smells and best pee spots. We will play catch and tug-a-war, then we can chill and your dog can watch out the front to check for action in the neighborhood.

Loving & Experienced Dog Walker
Pet care experience
I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with dogs for over 30 years. From small lap pups to large, energetic breeds, I’ve cared for them all. Dogs have always been a part of my family, and right now I share my home with my sweet 8 year-old Shih Tzu, who keeps me laughing and loves making new friends. I’m patient, gentle, and completely committed to giving every dog I meet the same level of love, safety, and attention I give my own.
Reviews
She is very professional and my dog loves her.
Catherine was a delight! She went above and beyond to care for my dog by giving him treats and mike long walks. Also respected my home and was very prompt and communicative. Would book again and would 100% recommend!
I heard about Catherine from a friend who recommended her to me. She is wonderful with my beagle. Catherine is one of those people who genuinely connects with animals, and it shows in how calm and patient she is with every dog she meets. My beagle moved slowly, needed frequent breaks, and sometimes required a little extra encouragement. Cathy never rushed him and always made sure he was comfortable. She provided the kind of care older dogs truly depend on. Catherine is a great communicator when she cares for your dog - she provides updates and photos- so you always know how your dog is doing. She is also very reliable- never cancels or has any issues. She finds a way to get it done. I highly recommend Catherine as a petsitter/walker. If you want to feel secure with no worries about your pet's care, you can count on Catherine K.
I can't recommend my mom enough as a dog walker and pet caregiver. I've watched her lovingly raise and care for dogs my entire life, and animals truly thrive around her. We've had a wide range of breeds over the years — from a Beagle and a Golden Retriever to a German Shepherd, French Bulldog, Boston Terrier, and a Shih Tzu — so she understands different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. She's experienced with everything from high-energy working dogs to stubborn little personalities. She also helped care for my Pomsky, during his full-on "piranha puppy" phase — and handled it with patience, consistency, and a great sense of humor. He absolutely adores her. She's responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves dogs. Any pup would be lucky to spend time with her!
