Katharine can care for
Availability
Recently moved back to Dayton, OH where I was born and raised. After working at Rutgers the State University of NJ for over 10 years (and getting divorced) I was ready for a change. I am now a full time pet care provider and part time student (spring 2026 semester I have 3 classes m-w for a few hours and one hour Thursday). This means that when I watch your pet, I am really there all day most days and able to provide quality walks, snuggles and play. I am very happy to be doing what I love which is caring for dogs and cats❤️

About Katharine V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Care is specific to every pet. This is usually watching tv together, playing with toys and walks😅. I have experience with with a lot of different types of dogs: puppies, older dogs, anxious dogs, etc and adjust care to make sure they are calm, happy and comfortable. I have a lot of experience giving medicine with cheese and peanut butter spoons, cleaning ears and administering wipes.
Information Katharine V. would like to know about your pet
Safety is always the number one priority period. I have plenty of experience with stubborn dogs, but it's important to let me know BEFORE hand to guarantee the safety of the dog and those we may encounter. I welcome any extra info or quirks that will make your pet happy.
A typical day
I love to keep your pet busy whether that's a long walk in the park, throwing the ball or playing with toys really depends on what the owner and the pet want.

Pet care experience
Years of experience with variety of breeds and ages. Personally have owned and trained: miniature Dachshund, Mastiff mix, Scottish terrier and west highland terrier. Have owned two cats in the past too. I can promise safe, fun walks, lots of love and scratches. I just moved to Ohio from New Jersey (actually was in Florida the last few months😎).

Reviews
Katie was amazing! She went above and beyond. I got so many pictures of my cat and dog looking very happy during their time with her. I didn’t have to worry about or animals one time while we were gone for a week.
Katie was so sweet with Bixby. she incision loves animals. great cooks and lots of pics!
Katie was wonderful! The animals (1 cat and 1 senior dog) did very well and she provided updates while I was on vacation so I didn't have to worry. She was very responsive to my texts and took great care of the house too. Even went the extra mile and did the laundry from the bed she slept in! I will definitely book her again!
Our boy was taken care of and made a new friend! We will definitely reach out to Katharine in the future.
