Pet care experience

Animal lover

Growing up, my parents rescued stray dogs and cats, so my love for animals began at a very young age. ​I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for your pet. I share my home with my husband and our 5-year-old son, both of whom have grown up around animals and truly enjoy their company. ​ I am the primary person responsible for your pet’s care—ensuring they get plenty of affection, consistent routines, and dedicated playtime. ​ You can be sure I'll take care of your pet as it were my own. A Note on Pricing: I value my long-term relationships and offer locked-in rates for my repeat clients.

Katherine did a great job looking after our dog, Joey. She regularly sent videos & photos and our pup came home happy! Will definitely book with her again.

Doggy Day Care • abr. 22, 2026

Katharine was great! Flexible with drop off and pick up times. Sent photos of king during the day. Unfortunately my dog did get a bit sick while there but Katharine was very kind about it and let me know right away.

The pets always love staying with Katherine. She's super communicative, and it's so nice knowing they're safe and well cared for while we're away.

Katherine was an amazing sitter for our dog Magic! We had to leave for a month and were worried about being away for so long, but she kept us regularly updated with pictures and videos 🥰 We were so grateful for her communication and how well taken care of Magic was. We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with her again. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I am a stay-at-home mom, and so I have a very flexible, home-based schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for your pets. Your pet will rarely be left alone for long stretches, and they will become a natural part of our daily rhythm. ​Whether it is a mid-day walk, a quick game of fetch in the yard, or just keeping them company while they nap, I am available to provide the attention they need. I am happy to accommodate last-minute or changing schedules, and I generally only require one day’s notice for new requests. My priority is to ensure your pet feels integrated, safe, and loved, just as they would be in their own home.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize a comfortable, low-stress environment. I ensure that your pet has their own designated, cozy space while still getting plenty of supervised social time and. I follow the feeding, medication, and exercise schedules you provide to ensure your pet feels secure and maintains their usual habits. ​Your pet will receive plenty of one-on-one attention, ensuring they don't feel lonely.

A typical day

How I Care for Your Pets ​My goal is to provide a balanced environment where your pet feels both stimulated and secure. ​For Dogs: I focus on activity and routine. We enjoy neighborhood walks and supervised play in my fenced backyard. Inside, we balance fun with their favorite toys and plenty of downtime on the couch for well-earned cuddles. ​For Cats: I prioritize choice and comfort. Whether your cat wants to hide in a cozy cardboard box, sunbathe on a window sill, or join me for gentle play, I respect their boundaries and offer company entirely on their own terms.

To ensure your pet feels right at home and has everything they need, I appreciate knowing a bit about them before they arrive. Providing the following information helps me maintain their health, comfort, and happiness: ​Dietary Needs: Please let me know about any special diets, favorite foods, or specific food allergies I should be aware of. ​Health & Medications: I am happy to accommodate pets who need medication. Please share clear instructions regarding dosages and the best way to administer them. ​Personality & Quirks: What are your pet’s favorite games or toys? Are there things they dislike or are afraid of (like loud noises, specific movements, or being touched in certain spots)? ​Behavioral Needs: Does your pet have any specific training or "house rules" they follow? Understanding their habits helps me keep their routine consistent. ​Comfort Levels: I’d love to know what makes your pet feel safest—whether it’s a specific spot they like to nap in, a comfort toy they need to sleep with, or how they react to other pets or new people. ​The more I know about your pet’s unique personality and needs, the better I can ensure they feel safe, secure, and right at home while in my care.
