Availability

I'm currently a full time college student. Tuesdays and Thursdays are pretty booked up for me. I have soccer practices around 6ish each night and mentorship program Monday nights from 4-6. I tend to wake up early and can walk and feed animals in the mornings, afternoon and around dinner time. Balancing my studies with pet care is rewarding, as it helps me stay active and maintain a structured routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not currently live with any other people or animals. I have no fence but I'm comfortable leashing and unleashing a dog each time I let them out. I have grass field and trails that are walking distance from my home. I am able to crate a dog if needed. I have plenty of space for play and rest. When caring for pets in my home or client’s home, I follow any specific guidelines provided and make sure pets are safe and comfortable.

Trustworthy Pet Care for Dogs & Cat

Pet care experience

I’ve lived with dogs my entire life, training them in basic tricks and obedience, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of behaviors. I also have a year of volunteer experience at an animal shelter, working with both puppies and senior dogs. My passion for animal care extends beyond sitting, I'm skilled in puppy training and caring for older pets, ensuring they get the attention and patience they deserve. I’m can also recognize animal behavior and provide calm, attentive care, especially for anxious or shy pets, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable.

Katherine took good care of my pup while we were away, she went out of her way to grab him some extra food and make sure he was well taken care of before pick up! Would recommend her to sit again for our Darby.

Katherine took good care of Atlas. He was a happy boy in her care. We would have no problem choosing Katherine again in the future.
