Pet care experience

Helper of people + animals! 🐾

Hi, I’m Katherine and taking care of animals is one of my many passions! 💜 I work full time as a psychotherapist and have been taking care of pets through Rover on the side with my husband Zach for 10 years. We both pride ourselves on paying close attention to detail and making sure each animals needs are met. We provide personalized care and genuinely love getting to know animals and their special personalities! Since we both work remotely, there is typically always someone at our house & your fur baby will rarely be left alone. We have one young rescue pup, Willie, who loves having friends over! We can provide boarding and doggy day care services in our home. Walks, drop-ins, and sittings are also available. A typical weekday looks like a walk in the morning, snuggle time on the couch, while we work, playtime outside (weather permitting) and an evening walk followed by more love and snuggles! On the weekends, we typically take Willie out for a destination walk, river time, or a hike. Let us know your dog’s activity and needs and we’re happy to accommodate. Please reach out with any questions. Looking forward to connecting with more pet families in Austin!

Katherine and Zach were fantastic and put me at ease right away! They were so thoughtful and gave my pup so much love and attention. They really focused on what he individually needed and created a great environment for him! I got pictures of him every day playing with his new doggie friends and napping. I will be rebooking with them and can’t say enough good things 😊

I had a great experience having Katherine walk my dog! She communicated clearly, was friendly, and my dog was very happy when I came back home.
