About Katherine B.

Safety, trust & environment
I take care of pets by making sure they feel comfortable and safe in their own home. During drop-ins, I’ll check food and water, clean litter if needed, spend some time playing or giving attention depending on the pet’s personality, and follow any specific instructions you leave. For walks, I focus on safety and letting the pet go at a pace that feels good for them while making sure they get some exercise and time to explore. I respect each home and try to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and cared for until you’re back. Please let me know any requested activities your furry friend prefers!

Trusted, Loving Drop-Ins & Walks
Pet care experience
I’ve always been a huge animal lover and genuinely light up around dogs and cats. I raised a sweet cat for several years and handled all of her daily care, which taught me how important routine, patience, and attention are for happy pets. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities — from playful and energetic to shy and cuddly. I understand how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pet and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in visit, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. You can expect dependable visits, thoughtful updates, and lots of affection!

Reviews
Katherine was fantastic and I highly recommend her services! She was not only prompt, respectful and kind, but she also dealt with our flexible schedule. Bowie enjoyed her walks and will miss her, as we no longer need a dog walker.
Katherine was very friendly and did a great job with our pup. We would highly recommend and plan to use her again for future needs!
Great with communication as always!
Took great care of our Kitty and was very communicative during the process. We were gone for 10 days and it was the best mood our cat has been in after returning from a long trip
