Pet care experience

Reliable Pet Lover You Can Count On

I’ve always loved being around animals and have spent years caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve helped friends by walking and looking after their dogs, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter for many years, where I feed, walk, and play with dogs and cats of all kinds. I like to think I’ve made friends with every dog I’ve met — each one has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them happy. Whether it’s a long walk, a play session, or some quiet cuddle time, I do my best to make every pet feel safe and cared for.

Drop-In Visits • Nov 07, 2025

Katherine was so great with our girl, Tilly! We had to go out of town last minute and Katherine really helped us out and was quick to respond. Her check-in notes were very detailed and gave me the peace of mind that our kitten was well taken care of during her drop-in visit. Highly recommend Katherine for your furry loved one!

Kathy walked my two dogs for me while I was away and did a great job! She showed up on time and fed them and gave them water afterwards.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I like to make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs before visits begin. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely, from feeding times and medication to preferred walking routes and play activities. I take pride in maintaining both your pet’s routine and the security of your home while you’re away.
