Highlights
Pet care experience
I'm just a human golden retriever.
I've been actively pet sitting for about 5 years now, mostly just for friends and family. I'm much more of a dog person but I have also taken care of cats while friends were away. Out of all of the dogs / cats I've met and cared for I haven't had many who didn't like me so overall I get along great with animals. People have told me that I have a special gift for befriending dogs! I grew up with dogs and a cat in my household so I am very aware that puppies and young dogs need consistency in their training, as well as for older dogs that they may have special diets / needs in order to provide the best care and would like the owner to inform me of anything important they would like me to pay attention to when walking / caring for their pets!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am not able to take care of pets in my own home since I live in an apartment that does not allow pets (otherwise I would have one of my own!) but can care for pets in their own residence, which I find provides them better care overall since they are in an environment they are familiar with.
Ratings and reviews
Kate was a wonderful sitter for my very stubborn dachshund. She was very friendly, confident and professional!
Katharine did an amazing job :) she was communicative and kept me constantly updated on my doggies. House was left in good order, and the dogs were happy too.
Kate was awesome with our senior dog while we were away for the fourth. She was very communicative during her visits and was eager to ask for clarification on any needs. She even administered medication for her each night. We were very impressed that she requested a meet and greet prior so that Xena would be familiar with her when she returned later that week. We will absolutely be booking her again.
Katherine was wonderful with our dogs! She handled drop-in visits, feeding, and medications with great care, and even made sure their environment stayed safe and comfortable during a heat wave. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Katherine and would happily book with her again!
Katharine has been great. Very professional, has great communication and Callie enjoys her walks with her. Will continue using her for dog walking services.
Katharine was fantastic. This is my 2nd booking. Prompt, professional, detail oriented, and caring. Thank you.
