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.
Ratings and reviews
Katherine was great with my dogs and cats while I was out of town. She was very attentive to their individual needs and kept me updated with daily photos. I will definitely use her again!
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.
