Highlights
Pet care experience
“Life is sweeter with a dog!!”
I have professional experience working as a K9 handler at various dog boarding and veterinary facilities. I have also volunteered walking reactive rescue dogs. Currently, I work for a private pet care facility and am in the process of becoming a professional dog trainer. I am well educated not only in dog handling, training, and nutrition, but also in medication administration and pet first aid/ CPR. Moreover, I am comfortable grooming dogs and taking them for long hikes. I love dogs more than anything in the world (don’t worry I love cats too!). I take care of them all day everyday!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very attentive to details about dog health and behavior. This means I can quickly spot potential emergencies or issues and address them appropriately. I am also extremely careful in all aspects of dog care- whether that be keeping gates and doors closed, administering medicines correctly, or even just feeding the correct amount! I pride myself in exceptional communication and thoughtful care. I am also Red Cross Pet First Aid certified.
Ratings and reviews
Katherine provided loving, wonderful care for our dog while we were out of town. She is so good with dogs, she is communicative, and kept us updated the entire time. We felt totally comfortable leaving our dog with her while being away.
Katherine was super communicative, professional, and our dogs loved spending time with her! She has amazing experience and background that make her such a trustworthy and great option for any pup care. Highly recommend!
Katherine was exactly what you hope for in a dog sitter. She was dependable, loving with our dog, and respectful of our house. I would and will hire katherine again for dog visits. She communicates well and follows directions perfectly. It felt like she was an extension of our family taking care of the family dog. 💕💕💕💕
Katherine was wonderful and did such a great job with the drop in visits with my dog. She took photos every day and Akela seemed happy. Thanks so much!
Katherine was communicative and caring, and best of all, looked after our kitties as if they were her own. Our high maintenance cats got their multitude of medicines and cuddle time. It's nice to have someone local and reliable so we can go away and not worry about our little ones.
Super responsible dog advocate!!

Schedule
I do hold a full time job which means I am out of the house for 4-5 hours periods at a time. Fortunately, I get a 1 hour lunch break which allows me to check on my private clients within reasonable distance.
