Pet care experience
🐾 One Pup. All My Attention.
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.

Ratings and reviews
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!!
Katherin was fantastic in every way! Sent me thorough updates and plenty of photos and treated my pup Cody like he was on vacation. Would 100% recommend.
Katherin was AMAZING with Wrigley, so thoughtful and attentive. We received very thorough updates and she was quick so ask any questions she had. We had a bit of a snafu with her food and Katherin went above and beyond to make sure she had the right stuff to get through her stay. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off which made everything with Wrigley’s stay super easy! Will definitely be re-booking for any future Wrigley needs!
Katherin was great with my dog Pluto who has separation anxiety! She was very understanding with him and took him on many little adventures around the city. Provided so many updates. Would highly recommend for your fur baby!

Schedule
I’m a school teacher nearby, which allows me to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, and extra attention. After school and on weekends, our time is spent exploring the neighborhood, relaxing at home, playing, or simply cuddling on the couch.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
You’ll receive detailed end-of-day updates with plenty of photos because I know how comforting it is to see your dog happy while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog feel safe and happy, and every owner to have complete peace of mind.
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.
