Personalized Care for Your Pets!
Pet care experience
I have always loved animals and have had many opportunities to gain experience caring for animals through my own pets (I have personally owned and cared for cats, dogs, house rabbits, horses, & fish), fostering, and pet-sitting. I have experience with puppies & training through my current and past pets, an incredible foster puppy, and animals I have pet-sat. I have worked with horses for over 10 years, have owned my own for 7 years, and have been riding my entire life which has also added to my knowledge of and ability to work with animals. I’ve learned to be patient and firm when working with animals and always show a ton of love and affection to any animal that will let me. 😊 I have experience with fearful animals, energetic animals, untrained animals, and both old and young animals. I would love to work with owners to cater to the specific needs of your own pets to make leaving town as low stress as possible :)
Reviews
Katharine was fabulous. We were comforted knowing our dog was well cared for.
This is the second time Katharine has taken care of our Bernese Mountain Dogs and each time she has been wonderful. She keeps in touch regularly throughout the visits and sends photos. The first time she watched them our senior male became very ill and Katharine immediately contacted us and worked with our emergency contacts to make sure he was quickly taken for medical attention. We will definitely be asking Katharine to take care of them again in the future.
Katharine took excellent care of our two dogs as well as our home. She’s responsible, kind & experienced and had no trouble handling our sometimes reactive dog. She checked in with updates and made it easy for us to enjoy our time away. We came home to happy and well cared for Dogs and a neat and tidy home. Super job, thank you Katharine!
Katharine took excellent care of my senior dog. She followed my instructions to give him his medications several times per day and carried him up and down the stairs at my house to let him go potty. She sent lots of updates and pics for my piece of mind while I was gone. Kenya was a very happy camper when I got home which made me very happy.

I will have to leave the house during the day everyday to take care of my own pets (I have a dog, cat, two rabbits, and a horse), go to work, or any other obligations. However, I make sure to give your pets physical and mental exercise, attention, and keep them safe in the house, yard, on walks, and when I am going in and out of the house. If there are any specific needs your pet has, just let me know.

Information katharine p. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the usual schedule that the animal is used to (wake-up time, breakfast time & amount, exercise time & amount, dinner, bedtime, etc.), any allergies, fears/phobias, experience with crates & other animals, and current commands. Please let me know if there are any behavior issues so that I can properly prepare for them! Please also let me know how long your dog is ok to be left alone for and how you usually leave your dog (a crate, room, or entire house).
A typical day
I like to adhere as much as possible to your pet’s normal routine. This means different things for each pet, but could include walks, fetch, hikes, food puzzles, etc.

I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible to give your dog multiple visits per day of varying lengths depending on their specific needs.
