Information Kat N. would like to know about your pet

I'm confident handling all breeds, but of course want to know any specific areas of concern from dog parents. I love to take my dog hiking, and would love to take yours along too! Let me know of any concerns or restrictions on the trail.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We usually do neighborhood walks, but there are also large city parks within walking distance and dog parks in driving distance. Let me know your preference. I'm also happy to include your pup on hikes - we like FDR Meadows. Let me know if there are any restrictions. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Where would your dog like to sleep? Everyone has full furniture privileges if that's okay with you, or on the bed is fine, or under the covers with my pup! Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home, so I'll be handing out belly rubs all day. Time I'll spend with your dog I love spending time with your dogs! Let us know what they need and I'll be there. Extra house-sitting services Yes, just let me know what you need!

Tons of rescue/boarding experience!

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong animal lover - any size, any type, any personality. If your dog needs cuddles on the couch, I am there! If your dog needs a long run in the woods to unwind, that's right up my alley! If your dog loves social time at the dog park, I love that too! I know that dogs come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities, so I try to match my sitting style to what works best for you and your pooch. I worked for years as a first responder and the Philly County Coordinator for Red Paw Emergency Relief Team, an organization that works with the Red Cross to assist animals that are displaced by fire or other disasters. I've volunteered with PAWS, Operation Ava, and ACCT among other rescues. I also trained as a PATH International therapeutic horseback riding instructor. I have one dog now, and in the past have had cats, a horse, fish, lizards, frogs, mice, and am comfortable with all personalities and sizes of pets. About this sitter: I'm a lifelong animal lover - any size, any type, any personality. If your dog needs cuddles on the couch, I'm there! If your dog needs a long run in the woods to unwind, that's right up my alley! If your dog loves social time at the dog park, I love that too! I know that dogs come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities, so I try to match my sitting style to what works best for you and your pooch. Why I love dog sitting I have always loved dogs! Meet my pets I have a hound mix and a cat, so at this time I can only take in cat-tested dogs. All of my animals are fully vaccinated including kennel cough. My house has parks in walking distance, and I'm happy to bring your pooch to the nearby dog parks. About my yard I have a small outdoor space, but that's mostly for catching some sun! We might relax out there, but walks will be in the nearby parks. My experience administering medication Yes, not a problem - anything from eye drops to pills to shots!

Kat took great care of our girl Macy while we were out of town! Such a relief to find an incredibly nice, trustworthy, dog-savvy sitter. She's fabulous!

We were very comfortable leaving our dog, Winston, with Kat. She was very knowledgeable about animals and comfortable with all breeds. She answered all of our questions promptly and thoroughly by email and phone. She was very accommodating of all of our request and we are confident that Winston received extraordinary care while we were away. Kat even texted us some pictures which was great and above our expectations! We would highly recommend her services to anyone who needs great care for their pet while they are away.
