Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Sport Trainer & Former Vet Tech
Independently insured through PCI! I have over a decade of experience previously working as a veterinary technician and sport dog trainer (dock diving, flyball, agility, etc). I also spent many years as a foster home for several rescues so have a lot of experience working with different breeds and personality types. I have expert experience with active sport dog breeds and high-drive dogs are my spirit animal. I am extremely comfortable working with the breeds that may overwhelm others: Border Collies, Aussies, Cattle Dogs, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies. I also offer nail trim services and bathing services upon request. These are additional charges and dependent on individual pet. **FLEXIBLE AVAILABILITY FOR ATYPICAL WORK SCHEDULES!** ➡️ first responders ➡️ shift workers ➡️ healthcare employees ➡️ bar and restaurant industry I am available weekends for the rotating work schedules, multiple visits in a day for the 24 hour shift homies, late pm drop ins for the graveyard and late night folk. I can also provide unique field trip experiences accompanying my own dogs for their sport training and conditioning, including swimming at an indoor dock diving pool, exploring trail systems on and off leash, beginner level running next to bicycle or scooter. These services are made available on an individual basis and may incur additional charges, feel free to inquire!

Ratings and reviews
Katherine was phenomenal! We received photos each day updating us on our little guy and were left with peace of mind. Will absolutely be booking in the future with her!
Katherine was incredible! Her pictures of our pets warmed our hearts while we were away. We are so grateful for her hard work!
Katharine was so amazing with my boy Jax! I booked this walk last minute and she was able to accommodate and help me out! Jax had so much fun and we appreciate Katharine so much!
We are very happy with having Katherine looking after our two cats. She exceeded our expectations in taking care of them as well as communicating each visit. We will definitely use the service again
Thank you Katy for visiting Harley on such short notice. We are still here at Lightways hospice.
Awesome Katy

Schedule
Very flexible! This is my full-time job so I don't have large blackout period. I maintain atypical availability specifically to provide services to people with atypical work schedules. Weekends? Sure! 3 visits on Wednesday? Can do! 10pm drop in because you work overnights! I got you. Available for last minute needs when you're in a bind!
