About Katharine M.

Safety, trust & environment
I know how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pet with someone new. I take the responsibility seriously and always follow your instructions carefully. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they are my own.
Information Katharine M. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know: -Their daily routine (feeding, walks, playtime, etc.) -Any quirks, habits, or things that make them feel more comfortable -How they do with other dogs, cats, or people while out on walks -Any medical needs, medications, or special instructions -Favorite toys, games, or ways they like to relax The more I know about your pet’s personality and routine, the better I can care for them while you’re away!
A typical day
A typical day with your pet depends on their needs and personality, but it always includes plenty of love and attention. For dogs, that might mean a nice walk to get fresh air and exercise, followed by some playtime or snuggles. Since I love walking and being outdoors, I make sure they get both activity and quality time. For cats, I keep their routine consistent — feeding, litter box care, playtime with toys, and lots of affection if they want it. I’m patient with shy pets who need time to warm up and give extra love to the ones who are more social.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Katharine! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both small and large dogs, and as an adult I cared for my own dog for 7 wonderful years. I’ve also been a proud cat owner for the past 9 years, so I’m very comfortable looking after both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. I pride myself on being dependable, reliable, and patient. I’ve volunteered as a dog walker in the community, cared for family and friends’ pets, and always treat every animal as if they were my own. I truly love walking and being outdoors, so taking your dog out for fresh air and exercise is one of my favorite parts of pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping up with feeding schedules, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I absolutely love all animals and look forward to giving your pet the care and attention they deserve!

Reviews
Katharine was great! Our kitties warmed right up to her and were happy to receive pets and play while we were away. She was prompt, provided helpful updates, and was so kind. Thank you Katharine! 😻😻
