Katharine did a wonderful job taking care of my five animals! She walked my dogs twice a day, and handled my reactive dog—who tends to pull on walks—so well. I also have three cats who can be quite shy with changes at home, but she patiently found the one hiding and helped them all get comfortable with her presence. I was able to be out of town for six days and came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. Thank you, Katharine!

I cannot recommend Katharine enough! She genuinely cares about the well-being of pets and is always attentive to the needs of the pet(s) and owner's directions. I've witnessed her dog sit a young, boisterous, and rather difficult german shepherd to great success. The dog is difficult to walk, having severe...like very sever leash aggression, and she took care of this dog like a pro in a supportive manner! I remember the dog happily flopping onto Katharine's lap after a long walk and falling asleep. Katharine is patient and builds trust with pets quickly. She also loves to walk so it's a win-win for everyone!

Katharine has house-sat for our two cats and German Shepard for two of our extended times away. She was communicative when first meeting our pets and learning their needs. We are careful only to have people house sit who are comfortable with working breeds and their temperament, and Katharine has excelled at having patience and providing the exercise that our dog needs. She maintains a consistent training schedule so our dog gets mentally challenged daily. She is also capable of handling our dog's leach reactivity and the distraction activities needed to be successful on walks. We would recommend Katharine to provide a great walking service to many breeds and sizes.
