Experienced Special Needs Care

Pet care experience

Caring for pets through all stages of life is what I love. The past 20 years I have been involved in the lives of animals through working in pet services either full time or part time. I am especially fond of restoring a pet's faith in humans and help them to enjoy common dog tasks as positive experiences no matter what may have happened in the past. I am fortunate to develop connections with animals where others may have struggled; I meet them where they are both physically and figuratively. My handling skills are conditioned to care for the disabled pets, physically, emotionally, or mentally, without use of restraints. My home is located in Tomball which is nestled in front of a huge back yard that includes a fenced pool. Fur babies are welcome to sleep with me and all needs are welcome. They will be met with love and kindness both by me and my permanent fur babies, Charlie and Joe.

As always, Katherine did a great job. We loved getting new photos of Jackson while we were gone. He always has a good time visiting with her.

Katherine and her family provided the perfect home for our Piper over the holidays. From the pictures/videos and updates, we could see Piper was having a blast, getting plenty of exercise and cuddles. Katherine made booking and logistics easy. She is kind, communicative and truly cares about the dogs she hosts. Highly recommend.

I’ve been using Kat for about 4 years now. She’s awesome! Always accommodating and available. I never worry while I’m away. And my pup always has a fantastic time with her and runs straight to the backyard with no looks back when I drop her off. Highly recommend!

We are so glad that Katherine was able to watch Jackson for us this week! They made him feel right at home and we really appreciated the daily updates with pictures. We will absolutely use Katherine again!

Information Katherine C. would like to know about your pet

Most details can be provided during transition of care. The most helpful things to know before hand is if they have any trouble when their parents leave. We can make a plan to ease separation anxiety in attempt to make the transition of care less stressful.

A typical day

We love to spend time in the big backyard gardening or working on house projects. The dogs usually form a parade and follow me all around!

My entire schedule is based around the needs of my dogs and yours. I work for myself and modify my daily work as a special needs dog groomer to accommodate who is staying over. I also have a kind loving assistant who cares for our dogs when I need to be away. This allows us to be available for 24 hour care when necessary. Most of the time the animals are only alone for trips to school for pickup/drop off or quick errands around town. Please note there was a gap in care found by the dates of my reviews. This is because I sold my house in Northwest Houston and moved to Tomball to be closer to my daughters school and my parents.
