Information Katherine C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your pets' preferences and quirks beforehand ensures I can tailor our our activities to suit their individual personalities. For example, understanding their vocabulary, whether they respond better to verbal cues or hand signals. Knowing their unique behaviors or preferences will allow me to communicate effectively and engage with them in ways that resonate. This tailored approach not only fosters a stronger bond between us but also enhances their enjoyment and comfort during our time together.

A typical day

A typical day starts with me ensuring each pet's specific needs are met based on their breed and personality. For dogs, activities may include engaging games like ball play, rewarding puzzles to stimulate their minds, interactive tug-of-war sessions, or exhilarating chase games (where allowed). If we're out for a walk, I mix things up by varying our pace and exploring different routes to keep things exciting. With cats, it's all about activities that trigger their natural instincts to run and pounce, ensuring they have a blast while staying active. So, you might find us playing with feather wands, enticing toys, or engaging in a lively game of hide-and-seek to keep their curiosity piqued.

Having fostered and rescued stubborn Rottweilers, I know that helping animals is something I truly feel connected with. From gently coaxing porcupine quills from a scared dog's snout to mastering the art of skunk deodorizing, my experience is diverse. I'm committed to providing exceptional care for your furry companions."

our dogs were so well cared for and at our own home too. extra tlc, extra puppy love, photos and updates - we have been so fortunate to have had someone with Katherine's expertise, care and sensitivity to allow us peace of mind to travel and come home refreshed and happy to be reunited with our fur family. Highest recommendation is not enough. thanks again Katherine we will definitely book you in the future.
