I live in an apartment building with 2 stories so plenty of room to play. I also have easy access to grassy areas for dog walks. I have a cat in the home who is quite adaptable to other animals, especially dogs. I stick to a feeding schedule twice a day and am happy to accommodate based on preferences.

Information Katharine P. would like to know about your pet

I like to learn as much as possible about your pet before our visit to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. Helpful details include their daily routine, feeding schedule, walking preferences, energy level, and any training cues they respond to. Please let me know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, or mobility issues, as well as behavioral quirks like anxiety, reactivity, or triggers. I also appreciate knowing what comforts them most—favorite toys, treats, or routines—and any house rules you follow. The more I know, the better I can provide personalized, loving care.

A typical day

I keep dogs engaged with walks, playtime, interactive games, and plenty of affection. Activities are always adjusted to each dog’s energy level and personality so they stay happy and comfortable.

Pets

Loving, reliable pet care

Pet care experience

I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve provided daily walks, feeding, playtime, medication (when needed), and lots of love and attention to keep pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique routines and needs, so I always follow care instructions closely and prioritize safety, patience, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic walks, calm companionship, or extra cuddle time, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Booked Katharine to walk my dog and, after being paid and confirming plans, she completely ghosted me and never walked my dog. Never told me she couldn’t come or responded to anything I sent her. Shady - do not book with her.

Katharine is a dedicated and loving pet owner herself and will responsibly care for your pet! She's reliable and has always diligently followed our requests plus sends awesome pictures so we had confidence that our Zoey is being well looked after and is content. Definitely recommend!
