I currently have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care from morning to night. Your pet won’t just be checked on, they’ll receive plenty of companionship, playtime, affection, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate special feeding schedules, medication routines, potty breaks, and individual care needs to help keep their routine as normal as possible. Whether your pet is staying for a day or an extended visit, my goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions before their stay so they feel as comfortable as possible. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where pets are closely supervised and treated like family. I have access to a secure, fenced outdoor area within my apartment community for safe potty breaks and fresh air. I’m experienced caring for shy or anxious pets, as well as homes with multiple pets, and I always adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs.

Information Katherine C. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible to ensure they have a safe, comfortable, and stress free experience. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, energy level, any fears or anxieties, how they interact with other people or animals, any behavioral quirks, potty routine, and any commands they know. The more I know about your pet’s personality and needs, the better I can provide personalized care and make them feel right at home.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, engaged, and active based on their individual personalities and energy levels. Activities can include neighborhood walks, playtime with their favorite toys, fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment games, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For more relaxed pets, I’m happy to provide gentle companionship, cuddle time, brushing, or simply keeping them company while maintaining their normal routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and mentally stimulated while they’re in my care.

Pet care experience

I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. I previously cared for three dogs of my own and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and multi pet households. I’m comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets and always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I can accommodate special feeding schedules, daily routines, and individual care needs to help maintain consistency while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their pet’s stay, so they always have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home. I’m trusted with others animals.

This sitter is highly recommended. She provided excellent care and the TLC she provided my pet came from her naturally; it’s clear that she has a natural connection with animals. I will be a repeat customer.

Katherine was great with our dogs, took them on adventures and significant doggie park time. Perfect for taking care of our dogs while we went to Knotts for the day. Hands down one of the best sitters we've found on Rover so far, highly recommend!!

Most amazing sitter! Katherine was truly the most caring, kind, and attentive sitter I’ve ever had. My dog is a senior and has some pretty crazy quirks when it comes to eating, and Katherine was incredibly patient with her and actually managed to get her to eat, I’m talking hand feeding level of dedication! She kept me updated constantly and was so thoughtful about maintaining the routine and training my dog is used to at home. She even took the time to ask what I do and don’t allow my dog to do so she could stay consistent with my rules while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was with someone who genuinely cared about her and paid attention to all the little details. I truly can’t recommend Katherine enough!

I met Katherine through a friend. I knew she walked and house sat for people’s dogs before so I had her come meet my boy (Boston terrier) to see if she could help me and sit for him when I work late. It went well and I had a good comfortable feeling from her right away and not to mention so did my Tux. She takes care of him, walks him and spends time hanging out with him so he isn’t so wound up and hyper when I get home late. She’s great with communication, lets me know when she feeds him, sends me pictures and videos so I know he’s safe and having fun. She has been taking care of my boy for about 3 months now and I feel very safe trusting her with him because she treats him like her own dogs, a lot of love and care. Thank you Katherine!
