Safety, trust & environment

During home visits and/or walks, I will make sure your pet has a well-loved visit including some cuddles and belly-rubs, play time, taken outside to potty, and/or at least a 10 minute walk (unless requested longer). I can also feed your dog if requested. During the hotter months (85 degrees and up) I would prefer to not walk your dog longer than 20mins during the hours of 11am - 5pm, due to keeping your pups best interest at heart (burnt paws, overheating, etc.) but will gladly play with them outside in a backyard/dog area for longer!

Information Katharine H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have any special requests ahead of time such as wanting me to refill their water bowl, feed them, give them oral medication, etc. It would also be great to know the general temperament of your dog before arriving and if they have any special needs to take care of. I’m here to help you and make sure all your dogs needs are met!

A typical day

I love to play with, walk, and snuggle with your dog! I will walk them around your neighborhood and play games with them outside and inside. I can implement any training you are doing as long as I have been made aware of it.

Pet care experience

I’ve had my dog, Ollie, for 5 years since he was 8 weeks old, and my rescue Sadie since March 2024. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. My dad is allergic to dogs and cats, so growing up I didn’t get to have any of my own (besides the occasional fish). But anytime a friend or family member needed someone to take care of their pet, I would gladly do it.

Katherine was AMAZING! Came with very little notice to check in on our new pup but also checked in on our old pups out of the goodness of her kind heart. Literally can’t think of anyone better to have checked on our babies. Such cute pics too! Will use her again for sure.

Katharine is truly the best. We had a wedding so she stopped by 3 times on a Saturday to hang with our boys and I know they loved every second of it. Thank you again!
