Pet care experience

Medical Student Pet Sitter

I have experience caring for dogs through both pet ownership and pet sitting for family and friends. As a proud dog owner myself, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and attentive environment. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure each pet receives the attention and affection they deserve. As a medical student, spending time at home for the summer, I am responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to ensuring your pet feels happy and well cared for while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, taking them on walks, engaging them in playtime and enrichment activities, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also monitor their behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel cared for and stress-free.

Katherine is someone I would trust with my pets without hesitation. She’s patient, dependable, and truly enjoys spending time with animals. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply giving pets the love and attention they need, she always goes above and beyond to make them feel safe and happy. I know my pets are in great hands whenever she’s caring for them.

Katherine is incredibly reliable, caring and attentive with pets. She treats every animal as if they were her own making sure they’re well fed exercise, comfortable and showered with affection. She plays close attention to each pets routine and personality and it’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals. I always have complete peace of mind, knowing my pet is in her care.

Schedule

I’m currently home for the summer in the bay area after finishing my first year of medical school in Southern California. I'm available throughout the summer and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. Whether your furry friend needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or extra playtime while you're away, I'm happy to help. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

Before caring for your pet, I'd love to know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any medications or special care they require. It's also helpful to know about their personality, energy level, any fears or triggers, and how they interact with other people or animals. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience that helps your pet feel comfortable.
