Big or Small Dogs I love Them All

Growing up on a ranch in Oregon and having been involved in animal rescue for the past 25 years, I have a lot of knowledge and confidence around animals. I believe every animal has a unique personality that must be respected. I take the time to understand what makes each of my dog clients feel comfortable. I am comfortable handling big strong dogs and pullers as well as little dogs and older dogs who like to take their time. I will also take time to know what preferences you have for how to best handle your dog. I look forward to meeting your pup and to taking them on a walk, stroll or high energy run!

So very grateful to Katherine for being so readily available to help with Otto, even on a last minute booking. She takes the time to listen and understand the needs of my dog and his quirks (he has a few). She’s also thoughtful about making sure Otto takes it easy on days when he may be a little slower with walking. Leaves my place just how I left it- I really appreciate it! Will book again 😊

Katharine was absolutely wonderful with our three dogs. Two are high energy newly adopted yearlings, one is a fragile 14 year old. They adored her. Her calm quiet demeanor was perfect for our two puppy nutcases. I cannot recommend her too highly.

Katherine helped us out when we were in a real bind. We had to travel with short notice for a family issue and Katherine stepped in and was able to care for our two dogs. We often worry about our one dog who is a rescue and is reactive. Katherine was not only able to handle that, but both dogs loved her. She was reliable and friendly on top of all of this.

Katherine was so wonderful and patient with my older kitty who acted a bit out of character woth me gone. Katherine was loving and comforting to her and reassuring to me throughout it all. I was worried I was going to come back to a very anxious kitty, but she's pretty calm thanks to Katherine's time and attention. Highly recommend her for your older kitties that need a little extra love and patience!

Amazing, went the extra mile to make sure my newly adopted shelter dog was taken care of last minute on a weekend while I had to work. She really truly cares about the dogs and their well being.

Before I take you dog out on a walk, I'd love to go on a walk with you, so I can get to know how your dog is accustomed to being walked. This first visit is free of charge. Its a great way to establish comfort between your dog and a new person.
