Information Katherin R. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to learn everything that helps make your dog’s stay comfortable. Please let me know about their daily routine, favorite activities, sleeping habits, feeding schedule, medications, anxieties, quirks, and anything else that helps them feel at home. The more I know, the more I can make their stay feel familiar and stress-free.

A typical day

Every dog settles into their own rhythm, but our days usually look something like this: Mornings often begin with a relaxed walk through Dupont Circle, sometimes stopping by Aslin or Mikko for a coffee while your pup enjoys the fresh air and watches the neighborhood come to life. If your dog enjoys exploring, we might visit Meridian Hill Park, Georgetown, the National Mall, or other favorite spots. If they’d rather take things slow, we’ll enjoy a peaceful walk around the neighborhood followed by plenty of cozy time at home. Throughout the day, we balance activity with rest based on your dog’s personality and energy level. Some pups love long walks and adventures, while others are happiest lounging by the window, chewing on a favorite toy, or curling up on the couch. Evenings are all about winding down, dinner, another stroll, lots of cuddles, and a calm bedtime routine that feels as close to home as possible. No matter their age or personality, my goal is for every dog to leave feeling happy, comfortable, and excited to come back.

🐾 One Pup. All My Attention.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Katherin, and I believe dogs deserve more than just a place to stay while their humans are away, they deserve to feel like they’re on vacation! I only host one dog at a time, so your pup will get my full attention, affection, and care from the moment they arrive until it’s time to go home. I keep a calm home, follow each dog’s routine closely, and take the time to build trust so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I’m fortunate to live in Dupont Circle, just steps from beautiful parks, shaded walking paths, and several dog-friendly cafés.

Katherin really went above and beyond for my Luna during her stay! She gladly fulfilled every request and more, keeping Luna thoroughly entertained each day. The detailed updates and photos were greatly appreciated! Luna looked so happy and loved while with Katherin, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. I highly recommend!!!

Katherin goes above and beyond taking care of our Figaro, he comes home happy, spoiled, and we think he actually misses her! Thank you, Katherin for being so kind to our pup.

Katherin was absolutely AMAZING!! This was Jaxon's first visit and he totally loves her and his visit!! She was loving, caring, energetic and completely focused on him and his needs. I would definitely recommend Katherin to all the worried fur parents as their baby's will be in EXCELLENT Care and we will be seeing her soon!!
