Experienced, flexible pet pal!

Pet care experience

I started volunteering at the local animal shelter when I was ten (42 years ago). I sit/walk/care for friend's and family pets (dogs, cats, horses and more...) I was a member of Cat Trap (cat rescue) on Martha's Vineyard for most of my adult life and when I moved to Nashville 9 years ago I have continued to rescue and place local animals. I love dogs, cats and all animals! I am active, fun-loving and enjoy walking and running! I have the skills to work with challenging pets and am comfortable administering medication if necessary. I worked for a vet as an assistant - (I am not licensed tech) - for two years in my 30s). We have three cats at home and many dogs in our extended family!

Just in case anyone was wondering if Katherine is still the best out there for your cat sitting needs, the answer remains an unequivocal yes. Our otherwise human-shy cat comes to life when Katherine comes through the door, and it is undoubtedly a result of the care and affection she provides to our feline family members. Beyond being prompt, professional, and courteous, you can rest easy knowing that your animals are being showered with love and attention with Katherine. We are, and will continue to be, repeat bookings!

If you have cats, you want Katharine to watch them. Period. Katharine's experiences volunteering with animal shelters shown through immediately upon meeting our little ones, who are normally hesitant around new people. Our kittens immediately warmed up to Katharine and it is easy to see why. She was attentive to their needs big or small, making sure that they were well fed, well played with, and overall well taken care of. Katharine was incredibly prompt and professional and made us feel so at ease knowing that our kittens were in good hands while we were away.

Katherine is simply incredible. I’ve lived in a few cities and have years of experience with Rover/dog sitters but Katherine is hands down the best I’ve met. She’s amazing with my ever so hyper Golden, he and I both couldn’t ask for a better team. If you live in Nashville, you can trust your fur babies with this genuine human. ;)

I live near downtown in West End, but within walking distance of several parks, near Hillsboro Village. The streets behind me are quiet and wonderful for long walks and runs. I have a housemate who loves dogs and cats as well and will provide extra attention! We have a large living room and a very happy, active household. I do have three cats, therefore, if staying with us, your dog must be cat friendly. :)
