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.
Reviews
Awesome experience! Katharine made our trip stress free. Hercules was well cared for in his own home. I only wish we had done this for prior trips. Couldn't have worked out any better
We used Katharine as our first sitter for our dog (outside of family/friends) during our recent vacation. We could not have been happier with her compassion professionalism and overall service. We will absolutely be using Katharine again to look after our dog!
Katherine was great with our kitten! She was very communicative and made sure to send tons of photos and videos while we were away
Katharine was WONDERFUL!!! Trixie had the best time during her week long stay with her! Katharine sent pictures and videos every day which we really appreciated. She messaged me the first night after we dropped her off to let me know she was settling in just fine. Made us feel so much better leaving her!! We will absolutely use Katharine again anytime we go away!

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.
Home
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!
