Highlights
Pet care experience
Best Pet Care! 😃
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😎).

Katharine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Katie did such a great job taking care of our dogs and cat while we were away for vacation! Katie sent amazing pictures every day and was always super responsive. We knew the pets were in great hands and can tell that they had a great time! She also took great care of the house, brought in the mail, and cleaned up before we got back, which was greatly appreciated! Would definitely recommend Katie!
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.
Katherine was a great communicator through the whole stay, I loved seeing photos of my pets while I was away! 10/10 will definitely book with her again! Thank you!

Schedule
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❤️
