I’m a full-time student with time to love on your fur babies. As a military retiree who has worked long hours and gone on numerous deployments, I know how stressful it can feel having your baby at home without you there. I will help you and your pet with whatever you need to be stress free and happy.

Safety, trust & environment

If you are boarding your pet with me, I have a completely fenced in back yard and my own fur baby, a black lab named Hope to keep your pet comfortable and happy with a friend to play with. We have plenty of room for their own crate if needed or desired and can even offer a secluded area for eating for any food aggressive friends. If I’m visiting your home for care, I will try to help your pets feel like you’ve never left. Staying on any food schedules and walking schedules they’re used to and if allowed, a few extra treats ;). Open communication on what you and your pets require will help to build a wonderful environment for everyone. I look forward to meeting and falling in love with your babies!

Information Katherine E. would like to know about your pet

Please communicate any concerns or anything you would like me to look out for. Your pets are your family and that bond is so important to me. Any known allergies or fears are good to know as well so we know what to avoid for our time together.

A typical day

Walking your pet will get their senses humming with excitement. If you have an old pup we can take it slow with lots of breaks and pets for encouragement. If they have a special toy or blanket, please let me know so we can play together as an active dog is a happy one!

A Kat friend for your Doggo

Pet care experience

Our animals love us in a way I feel we may never be able to reciprocate, but we sure will try! Growing up with animals since I was a baby, having a furry best friend has been my life. Having lived through a few fur baby best friend losses has me being even more grateful for the time we have together with them. I love animals and I will love your animals when you’re working hard, or enjoying a hard earned vacation. I have watched many friends and families cats and dogs over the years and have cherished the time I’ve had with them. Your pets will be loved just the same while under my care.

Katherine creates a loving and fun environment for Snickers. My pup runs to her door when I drop her off.
