Pet care experience
As a pet sitter, my utmost priority is to deliver exceptional care, undivided attention, and affection to all the animals under my watch. I am deeply committed to ensuring that each pet feels at ease, secure, and content in my care. With a well-structured routine, I cater to all their requirements, including adequate exercise and mental stimulation. My diverse experience with various types of animals has honed my ability to customize my services to the unique needs of each pet. I take pride in my expertise, unwavering dedication, and boundless love for animals, which sets me apart from other pet sitters.
Reviews
Katharine and her partner were super amazing and took lovely care of my new puppy. Thanks for the being the best sitters!
I highly recommend Katharine as a dog sitter. As a fellow dog professional, I had the pleasure of having her take care of my own dog and was extremely impressed with her amazing touch, calm demeanor, and loving nature. She was very playful with my dog and took great care of him, ensuring he received the attention and care he needed. I would highly recommend Katharine to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.
I've known Katherine for a little over 10 years now. I met her in college and she became one of my best friends and we remain extremely close even now. She is truly one of the best humans I have ever met. She has been the girlfriend of my best friend for the last 8 or 9 years. She has an awesome cat named Fluff and she was even with me when I got my dog Layla back in 2013! She has a love for all living creatures and has been around them consistently since I've known her. Katherine is extremely responsible and reputable. She would be an asset to any company that has the pleasure of hiring her. I would recommend Katherine 10/10 times to anybody.

Taking care of pets, whether at your home or your client's home, requires a great deal of responsibility and commitment. The type of service you provide and the type of pet under your care will determine the level of care required. At the minimum, providing a hygienic, secure, and healthy environment is essential for the pet's wellbeing. This includes cleaning and disinfecting the pet's living space regularly, feeding the pet a nutritionally-balanced diet, engaging them in physical activities, and providing stimulating toys. Moreover, it is crucial to closely monitor the pet's health and wellness, regularly groom them, and administer medication when necessary. Lastly, providing the necessary socialization and companionship that the pet requires is critical for their emotional well-being.

Information Katharine S. would like to know about your pet
Being knowledgeable about your pet's behavior in various settings is crucial. Understanding how your pet reacts to novel environments, unfamiliar people or children, and different stimuli is key. Equally important is being aware of any medical issues your pet may have, as this can affect their behavior and overall wellbeing.
A typical day
I absolutely adore taking my furry friend to the dog park, it's definitely one of my favorite pastimes. Once we've had our fill of fun, we usually go for a leisurely stroll near the picturesque Lake Michigan, and then relax in the nearby park. To ensure we stay energized and hydrated during our outing, I make sure to pack ample snacks and water for both of us. It's the perfect way to breathe in some fresh air and revel in nature, all while bonding with my beloved pup.

Planning and integrating pet care into your daily routine is easy and fulfilling. I usually kick-start my day by taking my pet for an early morning walk, which doubles as a bonding and exercise opportunity for both of us. After breakfast, I enjoy playing with my pet, engaging in fun activities like fetch or tug of war. Throughout the day, I ensure to shower my pet with love and attention, whether through cuddles or treats. In the evening, I make sure to take my pet for a refreshing walk before bedtime, allowing them to unwind and stretch their legs. By dedicating some time and planning ahead, pet care can seamlessly become a part of your daily routine.
