Pet care experience

Current owner of a senior cat and sweet puppy who I love more than anything. I've grown up with many different types of pets since I was a baby. I'm experienced caring for neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats. Experienced and comfortable with small animals such as rodents and fish. House check ins can include gardens and houseplants under some circumstances.

I cannot recommend Katherine's care services highly enough! We recently entrusted her with the care of our two cats, Cosmo and Archie, during our absence, and she exceeded all expectations. Katherine's professionalism and dedication were evident from the start. She conducted drop-in visits to our home, ensuring that our furry companions received the attention and care they needed. What truly set her apart was her commitment to keeping us updated with regular messages and adorable photos of Cosmo and Archie. It was incredibly reassuring to know that they were in such capable and caring hands. Thanks to Katherine, we were able to enjoy our time away without any worries. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her the perfect choice for anyone seeking exceptional pet care services. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to look after your beloved pets, look no further than Katherine. We will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet-sitting needs!

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to check in mornings, midday, and evenings depending on need. I am very respectful of a client's space and will happily respect any boundaries in place. I will assist with simple home care, such as sweeping around a litter box. I have a car available for my own transportation, as well as the possibility of transporting smaller pets if needed. I live Hiawatha School Park and River Parkway, great places for dogs to enjoy a walk. I'd love to meet your pets, please reach out with any questions you have for me! I can board one or two potty trained dogs that are easygoing and will be gentle with my own dog and cat. I have a well-fenced yard and can offer as much (or as little) interaction as they would like. I will not be away from home for more than three hours a day, unless there is a very unusual circumstance.

Information Katherine B. would like to know about your pet

Happy to help excitable dogs burn off energy, just let me know if we should look for quieter routes with fewer distractions. Happy to administer medication that a dog or cat will willingly accept.

A typical day

At home visits, I make sure to offer some play time with interactive toys. There are lots of great places to walk in my neighborhood, such as along the river or around Minnehaha Academy.
