Availability

I make myself available before and after my work shift throughout the week. My husband will help to watch and care for pets while I am at work throughout the day. So there will always be someone at home. If we have a busy week or weekend planned, we may not be able to fit pet care in. That way, we don’t feel bad for not giving the much needed attention your pet may need.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not have a yard as I live in an apartment building. However, I can let the pets out for walks as needed and according to their energy level. If your dog needs to be crated, I can easily make sure to do that as long as the crate is provided. If the service you request is a House sitting service, I may not feel comfortable sleeping over through the nights depending on the conditions. Please ask if there is a special circumstance I can accommodate for! I can definitely make sure I stop by to feed/walk/let dogs/pets out throughout the day.

Information Katherine B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know anything that will help your pet be more comfortable. This includes any habits you have with your dog and if there is anything that you know of that will aggravate them.

A typical day

Normally, I will go on walks in the neighborhood and go to a dog park if there is one close by. I can use your dog’s toys to allow fun time and have your dog expend energy!

Pet care experience

Hello! Would love to meet you and your furry one :). I will make sure your furry friend is taken care of with anything needed while you are away. I grew up with a Chihuahua for 12 years before he passed away. I am currently a dentist with a flexible schedule and my husband helps out since he works from home! The reason I have decided to pet sit is to be able to spend time with pets since I do not currently have any of my own. I love taking care of other dogs and look forward to one day owning my own very soon. I literally look at dog pictures everyday -they keep my spirits up. And you will get some of the best ones in my opinion. As you can imagine, I will be attentive to every detail provided. Help me share my love to your pet! Reach out if you have any questions!

Literally soooo awesome!! Such a sweet, caring, and kind person!! She truly made me feel so happy leaving my pup with her because she was so communicative, sent pictures and videos, and assured me he was truly in good hands. She’s easily accessible and super responsive. I also appreciate how responsible and on time she was with the pick up and drop off for my dog’s daycare with her. I truly appreciate Katherine!!!

Spike had a great weekend with Katherine! She gave me fantastic updates and made me feel at ease. Spike was happy and healthy. I would definitely sit with her again!
