Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy Pets, Peace of Mind
I've cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently have three dogs with different temperaments, sizes, and care needs, so I'm comfortable adapting my care to each dog's routine and personality. Growing up, I helped care for and train our family dogs, including a Boxer and a Labrador Retriever. I also helped my mom care for her three dogs, giving me experience managing multiple dogs at once. In addition, I regularly care for dogs belonging to other family members whenever they're out of town. I'm comfortable with everything from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and playtime to dogs that prefer a slower pace or require extra patience and attention. I always take the time to learn each pet's routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their family is away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care and giving owners complete peace of mind.

Ratings and reviews
Katerri helped us out with a last minute request and was wonderful. Our dogs came home happy and tired. We could not have asked for more :)
Katerri is so sweet and patient with our dogs and kitty cat! She makes sure that they are all well fed, have plenty of play time, and she takes the time to sit with them and give puppy cuddles. I highly recommend her as a responsible and caring pet sitter!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I care for my own pets every day. I primarily offer care in my home, where visiting dogs become part of the family during their stay. They'll receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, regular potty breaks, and a comfortable, safe environment. Because I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, I'm able to adapt to each dog's routine and help them feel at home. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax, I'll make sure they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident during their stay.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. We also have a park directly behind our home, where I enjoy taking dogs for evening walks when the weather is cool and safe. During Arizona's hot summer months, I adjust activities to keep pets comfortable and prevent overheating. Instead of long walks in the heat, I provide indoor playtime, enrichment, and even fun car rides for dogs that enjoy them. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special care instructions. I also live with a veterinary technician, so in the unlikely event of an emergency, I have immediate access to someone with professional animal care experience. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress environment where every pet feels right at home while you're away.

A typical day
A Typical Day With Your Pup Since I work from home, your pup gets plenty of company and attention throughout the day. While I’m working, they’re always nearby and under my watch, with plenty of opportunities for cuddles, playtime, and attention throughout the day. When the weather is cool enough, I love taking the pups for walks to get some fresh air and exercise. I also enjoy bringing them along for car rides when I’m running errands, so they can come along for the adventure. We may even make the occasional ice cream run for a pup cup. Depending on your dog’s personality and comfort level, we’ll also have plenty of playtime, cuddle sessions, and occasionally a trip to the dog park. I’m happy to adjust our routine based on your dog’s normal schedule, energy level, and preferences. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection throughout their stay.

- Every pup is different, so I’d love to know anything that will help me care for them best. Please share their routine, feeding schedule, medications or allergies, bathroom habits, and any behaviors or quirks I should know about. It’s also helpful to know how they do around other dogs, people, and new environments, along with anything that makes them nervous or especially happy.
