Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I understand how important it is for animals to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routine while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I can let your dog out for bathroom breaks, provide fresh food and water, administer oral medications if needed, and ensure they get appropriate exercise and playtime. I’m also comfortable crating dogs when required and following any specific household or training routines you have in place. For cats and other pets, I handle litter box cleaning, feeding and companionship tailored to their personality and comfort level. I always aim to leave your home just as I found it and will send detailed updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
Information Katharine W. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and any fears, triggers, or special needs. The more I know ahead of time, the better!
A typical day
I love spending quality time with the pets I watch! For dogs, that may include walks, playtime, games of fetch, and lots of cuddles. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level.

Pet care experience
I’ve been an animal lover all my life❤️ I have been catsitting and dog walking since I was around 13 years old! I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing presence to every pet I care for. I have experience caring for both energetic young pets who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who benefit from a gentler pace and close monitoring. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed (I have 3 cats and 2 of them require medications themselves so I already do this daily!) and maintaining routines so your pet feels safe and secure while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with thoughtful check-ins, photos, and honest updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in capable hands.

Reviews
Katharine is wonderful! She took great care of my puppy, and my puppy absolutely loves staying with her. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Katie is so awesome! She went above and beyond to befriend our grumpy old man of a cat, was very thorough at every drop-in, and just a lovely person all around. Highly recommend booking with her!
Katie was amazing! She is incredibly kind and the fur babies loved her. She gave detailed recaps of her visits and went above and beyond while we were away. 🐾
Katharine was great!
