Safety, trust & environment

I have a full fenced in yard, and three dogs for your pet to play with. In your home I will do my best to leave it looking better than it did before I arrived. Please note that I can not guarantee exact timing for drop in visits. It will vary depending on the needs of other pets on my schedule. I will make the best effort to accommodate your timing request but if I have dogs that require medication or have other needs at that time I will prioritize them.

Information Katharine B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to your dogs likes/dislikes. How much daily aerobic exercise they’re used to, allergies, training routines, and anything to make their time with me as stress free as possible.

A typical day

In my home your dog will enjoy one to one attention, long walks, trips to local parks/ walking trails (if your ok with that), and tons of belly rubs. We have a large house, with a fully fenced yard for your dog to enjoy! They will have as much or as little free run as you permit!

Passionate Pet Parent

Pet care experience

My name is Katharine, and I have been actively involved with dogs my entire life. I started handling dogs for show when I was ten years old. Dogs are one of my greatest loves in life. Currently I am pet parent to two Schipperkes. Meeko and Vader. They are challenging, and keep me on my feet. Meeko is agility, and obedience trained, while Vader is a show dog I’ve worked to campaign and he is one point away from his championship. I’m also an active volunteer/foster parent with a local Long Island Dog Rescue. I have experience handling all breeds, and sizes, as well as dogs with medical, and behavioral needs. Most recently I’ve had several senior foster dogs, and dogs with behavioral needs. I look forward to meeting you, and your dog *Note for drop in visits if I have multiple pet parents they will be accommodated in the order they have booked for timing. Priority will be given to animals who require medication or have extenuating circumstances.

Katharine was awesome! She came to the rescue when our original plan fell through for someone to drop in and care for our dog while we were out of town for the day. Each drop-in, she was right on time, left thorough notes, and sent us photos. We sincerely appreciated her friendly demeanor and willingness to take on our last-minute request; we're so glad it worked out and we wouldn't hesitate to contact her again. Thank you Katharine!

Katharine Has watched our 4 year old pup. Several times. Remi is always excited to see her. We feel score in traveling knowing Katharine is there to care for Remi. She is attentive, loving, responsible, caring and communicative. She sends pictures. Will continue to use her to watch Remi. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to her if you are in need of a sitter.
