Hi, I'm Katharine! I am from LA, having lived in NYC for a few years, but now I'm back and living in Mid City. I work from home so I have tons of availability and flexibility, and offer lots of time and attention to your pet. In my free time I like to go to concerts, dinner with friends, ride my bike, and hang in the park. I grew up with large dogs (German Shepherds) and absolutely love large breeds, but being on Rover for a few years now has given me an appreciation for all breeds and sizes. Behaviors I do well with: House-trained dogs Dogs that love to snuggle Low-to-medium-energy dogs Dogs that can sleep until 8:00 AM Dogs that can sleep independently (crated, on the floor/couch, in bed with me but not needing to be touching during sleep) Dogs that follow commands. Teach me their commands and I will practice with them. Behaviors I do not do well with: Dogs with extreme separation anxiety (I understand dogs have really been affected by the pandemic. If your dog has separation anxiety, please be upfront about this and we can discuss) Dogs that need to expel a lot of energy during the day (this is because I am in school full-time and working part-time, so I am home quite a bit but I don't have a lot of openings in my schedule for walks beyond 30 minutes) Reactive dogs (please let me know if they are reactive to people, dogs, or both)
