I will give your pet lots of love!
Pet care experience
I love dogs and cats! (Let's be honest, who doesn't?) I have two cats of my own, Milo and Blu. Additionally, my family had a sweet poodle mix named Sasha for about 12 years. As she was getting older, I became experienced caring for dogs who needs a little extra assistance. For example, with Sasha I carried her up and down stairs and guided her carefully on her walks. These are just two examples of the care I would put into taking care of your pet! I love petting and walking all dogs- I'm always stopping on the street and saying hi to neighbor doggies! I will be very attentive to every dogs' wants and needs- since I'm an experienced dog owner I can tell when a doggo needs food, water, or a walk. The experience of having Milo and Blu has made me deeply understand the preciousness and gift of a pet, and I will take that understanding into my care of your pet as well!
Reviews
Katherine is responsible, reliable, prompt, smart, empathetic, energetic, kind & fun - all the things you want in a dog walker. She is a great communicator, who won't hesitate to ask if she needs something clarified. She walks our elderly, vision-impaired dog, helping her to safely navigate the city streets. I highly recommend Katherine.
I know Katherine to be responsible and hardworking. She has always been kind,caring and helpful with cats and dogs we've had as pets. I'm sure she would take the commitment of an animal entrusted to her very seriously.
Katherine arrived right on time. I can tell she has experience because she asked me for route preferences. she knows the city very well in terms of how to navigate it with a dog. if i were shaggy i would have no problem letting Katherine take care of scooby for me.

Safety, trust & environment
I find it very important to establish trust slowly with any pets. This may look different for different pets, and I am very patient in learning how to create trust and a bond.
Information Katherine D. would like to know about your pet
I will definitely want to know how your dog generally relates to other dogs and people in public, so I can be prepared to best take care of your dog when others are around.
A typical day
I am very active myself, and will be sure to provide your dog with lots of exercise and activity! Long walks, playing in a park- whatever your dog likes! I also have experience hanging out in lots of different areas and neighborhoods of Philly, so I know the locations of good parks. And if I'm unfamiliar with a neighborhood, I'll be sure to research the hot spots for dogs in the area!
