Highlights
Pet care experience
I love animals!
I've taken care of many dogs, and a few cats, for many years. Friends and family know how much I love animals, so most of my past sitting experience has fallen into my lap. Once, a family friend who had moved to California flew me out to take care of her Hungarian Vizsla while she was away. I have experience with senior animals, including understanding mobility issues and giving supplements along with meals
Cat care experience
Katherine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'm always happy to play games with pets, whether that's throwing a ball to be retrieved, or exploring something else in the toy collection. But I'm also happy to let the dog or cat lie down and rest, while checking in regularly to make sure that they don't need an outdoor break or water refill, etc.
Ratings and reviews
Kate is a truly exceptional pet sitter. She cared for our elder dog, Laika, with such kindness and attention, taking her on long walks, and keeping her great company in our absence. Laika could he wary of strangers but was always so happy to see Kate, and we were grateful for her excellent care.
Katherine has walked (and stayed with our dog overnight) on numerous occasions since 2021 and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She is always punctual, reliable, and treats our dog like her own. Our standard poodle is very excited whenever she see's Katherine, also a great endorsement as the dog always knows! If you need a trustworthy and caring dog walker, Katherine is fantastic.
Kate was great both with my cat Lou and kitten Jo. Lou can be quite shy but he warmed up to her quickly with some Churus. She’s also considerate and neat and very kind. I 100% recommend her!

Schedule
I currently work part-time and remote, so I am very flexible with my schedule. I occasionally have scheduled calls, but they aren't usually long, and I can work around them pretty easily.
