Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, familiar environment where your pet feels safe and comfortable. I always follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, walking routes, crate routines, and any behavioral needs. I ensure doors and gates are secure before and after every walk, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe areas. I take time to build trust with each pet by moving at their pace, offering positive reinforcement, and paying close attention to their cues. Whether your dog is high-energy or more reserved, I adapt my approach to make sure they feel relaxed and cared for. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities.

Information Katherine A. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s personality, energy level, any behavioral quirks (like fear of other dogs, leash reactivity, or separation anxiety), medical conditions, allergies, and any routines or commands they’re used to. This helps me provide the safest and most enjoyable experience for your pet.

A typical day

A typical day starts with lots of tail wags and happy greetings! I take time to ensure each dog feels comfortable and safe before we head out for our walk. Depending on your pet’s energy level and personality, we’ll enjoy neighborhood strolls, playtime at the park, or interactive games like fetch. I always make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I also provide water breaks, belly rubs, and updates for peace of mind while you’re away. Each visit is personalized to your pet’s needs and preferences!

Katherine did an amazing job! She brings treats for my puppy and trains her on her walk. I have noticed a positive change in my dogs behavior on my own walks since using Katherine. I highly recommend using her.

Katherine always took exceptional care of my dog. She communicated with me regularly, was on time and dependable. I would highly recommend her! I worked long hours and my dog had bad separation anxiety. She would spend xtra time with him and ensure he had his favorite toys when she was finished.
