Highlights
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.
Ratings and reviews
Katherine has been amazing! She is so nice, communicates very well, and has worked so well with our schedule. Our dog is also a big dog that likes to pull, but she has handled him very well. I would highly recommend Katherine and look forward to continuing to work with her!
Katherine has been an amazing walker and a huge help, especially with my last minute requests. I'll always be grateful and appreciate for the work shes done and I'll definitely recommend her help in the future! Thank you again! 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Katherine was prompt and very responsive! I had a last minute request and luckily Katherine was available. Very gentle to our 1.5 year old Yorkie. Would recommend!!
Katherine did an amazing job! I contacted her on very short notice because my sitter canceled. She was very accommodating I accidentally had the wrong address on my profile and I’m out of town with no service so the messaging process was hard. She contacted me asking how to get in since it was the wrong place the code wasn’t working. Eventually I got her messages and she was willing to go back to my new address. She did an amazing job taking care of my kitties and making sure everything was clean and they were fed. She went above and beyond and I will definitely book with her again and recommend her to others! Thank you Katherine!❤️🐱
Katherine was very communicative and followed instructions that were provided. She asked questions and made sure my pet was taken care of. Very enjoyed my experience with her and would definitely recommend her to others
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.

Schedule
I’m currently a second year podiatric medical student at Western University. I have classes during the week but I have a pretty flexible schedule that changes every week, especially during weekends, 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.
