Pet care experience
I'm a Sunnyside based dog walker. Now accepting clients in Sunnyside and Woodside! I've got one dog of my own, a sweet rescued stray dog from Taiwan named Sasa whom my husband and I love to no end! In the past, I have raised and loved two intelligent, lively beagles. I also have experience training horses which has translated to dog care—I am comfortable and confident handling dogs of many sizes. I believe the best way to handle dogs is with clear instructions, patience, and positive reinforcement. You won't just get a drop in dog walk; I can help reinforce whatever behaviors you are working on with your loved pup, too. Or if you just need me to stop by and cuddle with your pooch on the couch for a bit and show her some love, I can happily do that too!
Reviews
Katherine was amazing. She was able to handle both my very large and strong dogs very well and they are not the best walkers. She was very accomadating to our schedule and went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were taken care of. I highly recommend her for future walks.
I strongly recommend Katharine as a sitter or dog walker for your pets - she is diligent, a great communicator, and an all around friendly and calm presence for our rescue dog. I had to leave the country for three weeks and Katharine helped give Indy a midday walk - she was patient with my dog's quirks, and I never had to worry that Indy was in good hands. Katharine's experience with dogs makes her well-adjusted and confident in her abilities to give animals what they need for exercise, training, and entertainment. She is a great help!
Katharine has been a dog owner for over 12 years. Ever since she was a child she loved animals. When she was younger she was an avid horseback rider, and even though she no longer has the time to ride her love for horses has not diminished. The same can be said about dogs. She understands the love and care a dog demands, and she is more than happy to provide it! A genuine dog lover, she will love your dog no matter the breed, but also be firm with the dog when needed. You won't regret it letting her dog sit for you!
