Because your pet deserves the best

Pet care experience

I am very passionate about animals and their well being. I am dependable, caring, reliable and will care for your animals like they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. My previous dog, a 75 lb Labradoodle, was a certified therapy dog. Now I have Poodle/Shih Tsu mix who is 16 years old and a Whire Hair Pointing Griffon who is 6 years old. While living in Colorado she was competing on a flyball team. My two dogs get walks and playtime every day. It would be a pleasure caring for your animals, playing with them and loving them while you are away. I am not currently watching pets at my home but am more than happy to come to yours. I am very comfortable watching dogs, cats and farm animals.

Katharina is dependable and detailed in her pet care. The time and attention she gives to both her pets and for others is a key quality.

Katharina is an absolutely amazing pet caregiver! She is reliable, flexible and loves animals! Katharina has taken care of my dogs Pearl and Mica for years. My pups always look forward to spending time with her and they know that they will get lots of love and affection. She is not only passionate about animals, she goes the extra mile and makes sure that my animals are well taken care of when I am not home. She takes them on nice long walks, hikes in the desert and gives them tons of loving attention. My dogs adore Katherina. I hate being away from my pets, but knowing that my furry children are with Katherina gives me a sense of relief knowing that my dogs are in excellent hands. I always look forward to photos and updates that Katharina sends me regularly. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Katharina for any type of pet sitting service.

We have used Katharina as our pet caregiver for years. Our dogs loved having her as a companion while we were away. Katharina is extremely responsible and reliable. She treated our dogs with the same love as she would her own. Katharina is diligent about taking them for walks, hikes, and playing with them. I would recommend Katharina's pet sitting service to anyone. She's amazing!

Katharina has watched our dog Charlie many times over the past eight years that we have owned him. She goes above and beyond with the care she gives him. Charlie is so happy to see her and is often reluctant to leave when we pick him up. We have been blessed to have such trusted and reliable help with our beloved pet.

Information Katharina M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what your pet is afraid of. Are they comfortable with other dogs, people walking by, cyclists, cars? Do they like to be petted? Are there places on their bodies where they don't like to be touched? Are they on a special diet? Are they allowed to have treats? How do they walk on a leash? Do they come when called? Are they ok walking off leash? Cats, do they stay in the home, are they shy, are they allowed on the kitchen counter?

A typical day

I enjoy neighborhood walks as well as walking in parks or on trails. Making your animals feel comfortable while you are away is my first priority. However, I love to play fetch with a ball or a frisbee, hide and seek or just running in the yard with dogs. I can offer a cuddle and back scratches for your cats.
