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!

Zach and Katherine are fantastic! They put my mind at ease using Rover for the first time for an overnight stay and gave plenty of updates while my dog stayed with them. Very patient and understanding of a 9 month old pup

Doggy Day Care • Aug 13, 2026

Katherine & Zach were amazing with my doggy. They took really good care of him. Provide pictures and updates, and we’re super communicative! My dog has separation anxiety, and they handled him amazingly. Administered his medication and took overall good care of Oso! Absolutely will be coming back to them if I need Doggy Day Care

Doggy Day Care • Aug 04, 2026

They were fabulous!!! My dog Inez loved playing with their pup Willy and I got several pics and videos throughout the day. She seemed very tired and content when she got home! Extra special thanks to Katherine because our flight coming back was delayed several times and she was so nice being flexible with having to change pickup time. Would definitely recommended!!

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 😊
