Pet care experience

Furry friends are the best friends

From a young age I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, who are 15 and 11, that I take care of. I also have previous experience taking care of my roommate’s Frenchie who is 5 years old. When I was younger I used to dogsit my neighbor’s 18 year old pug! I have lots of experience with all different shapes and sizes of dogs, as well as all ages. I am equipped to bathe, walk, feed, and clean up after dogs and most of all play with them on a daily basis.

Safety, trust & environment

I am tidy and responsible when it comes to looking after a pet. I have lived with and raised two dogs who are now “elderly” and have a strict regimen on medication and feeding habits. I know of many veterinary practices in the area and have studied ways that pets might show distress incase of an emergency. I will make sure to lock up after I leave and secure any gates or doors in the house to keep the pet in a specific area of the home if need be.

House Sitting • Jun 25, 2026

Katherine is by far the most kind, compassionate, and loving person, my dog Clyde absolutely fell in love with her from the start. She has taken unbelievable care of my sweet baby boy, and she gave me complete peace knowing that my boy was receiving the best care and love while I have been away for surgery. She send pics of my boy, and I could see how happy he was. I have been truly blessed to have Katherine watch my baby.

Katherine has a clear love for animals and consistently goes out of her way to make sure they are loved and cared for. She has watched my dog and cat numerous times and I have always been more than pleased with her level of care. Anyone leaving their pets under her watch can be confident that they will be happy, safe, and healthy.

Katherine is my daughter...we have 2 labradoodles, the first we got when she was 10 years old. She has been a great "sister" to them; taking them for walks, feeding them, bathing them, taking them to the groomer and vet, and just loving on them! She is very responsible, caring, conscientious, and truly loves animals of all kinds.
