I love all dogs! I’m a pack leader!
Pet care experience
I’m a 25 year old artist and I’ve worked with animals all my life! I have a lot of experience working with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, snakes, birds, fish, and other small mammals and reptiles. I love dogs and I have a lot of life-time experience working with them. I have a couple of my own-- a yellow labrador retriever and a golden retriever (plus a fat cat). I’m energetic, patient, friendly, and a pack leader, working with all kinds of dogs over the years. I’ve cared for, walked and trained a variety of dogs with my aunt (as she is a professional dog trainer).
Reviews
Katherine Did An Excellent Job Taking Care of My 5 German Shepherds and One even Being A Puppy! She Gave Me Updates with Photos and Was Very Professional. I would Highly Recommend Her for Anyone's Furbabies! Thank You for the Wonderful Job!
Great with Dogs! Our dog loved Katherine! Very punctual, nice, responsible and communicative!
Katherine was amazing with my pets! During our meet and greet my big boy absolutely melted while she pet him! We will 100% ask Katherine back next time we travel. Thank you for the pictures and updates!!
Katherine was really great sitter! We had to leave our dog the first time for a long time (10 days) and she took good care of her! It made us feel so relieved knowing she was in good hands while we were on vacation for 10days. She even went above and beyond to clean up after our dog in the yard while we weren’t expecting her to do so at all! We did the house sitting option and Katherine cleaned up after herself without leaving any mess in the house. She also helped with putting our parcels away. Overall, 5 stars sitter and we will definitely use her again!

My number one rule for myself is to never let the dog outside unattended regardless if there is a fence. You never know what can happen. I also prefer to keep anything they may chew that is not a toy away from them. Food is never close that can be stolen, wouldn't want them to eat something harmful. I keep everything clean so there's no trash to get into either. For walking I prefer thick leashes so I have a good grip, I also carry treats for training and of course doggy bags just in case.
Information Katherine A. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. Things I need to know: -Feeding schedule -Behavior with other dogs and animals -Bathroom schedule -Chewer? -Any other thing you believe I should know about the dog?
A typical day
I would give the dog all the love in the world! I want him/her to be comfortable and have fun. I prefer to go on walks around parks rather than just up and down the street, since it’s nicer to walk around when there’s a view. I would love to play fetch or tug-of-war too! But if the dog just loves to lay around, I wouldn’t mind that either.

Katherine can watch in your home
Availability
Currently I do not work so I am available on short notice or I can visit any time of the day. Usually I like to at least do 3 visits in a day to let the dogs every 8 hours so they aren't going to long, but can do more.
