Dog lover w. flexible schedule!
Pet care experience
I have been dog sitting/house sitting for over a decade now and I love it! I treat dogs in my care as though they were my own. I love spending time with them, playing, and taking long walks. I am happy to work with you to ensure you're comfortable while your dog is in my care. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup!
Reviews
We have an anxious dog called Bowie, and going on holiday was always a stress for us but we are so grateful to have found Katherine. Bowie is completely at ease and runs through her house with his tail wagging and jumps up to cuddle her! She offered Bowie love and made him feel so safe, he now doesn’t seem bothered when we leave!! She is so patient with all his little intricacies and updates us daily with how he is doing. We are so thankful to have found someone like Katherine and we know Bowie is too.
Katherine was our favorite dog sitter and we were very sad when she left California. We had two yellow Labs, aptly nicknamed, "naughty" and "nervous", but she had no problem taking care of both unique personalities. Whenever we came home from being away, the house was clean, and the dogs always seemed happy, healthy, and very content. Now, I know dogs can't tell you what really happens, but their excitement at seeing Katherine arrive when we went out of town and their calm, happy tail-wagging attitude when we returned made it clear without words that they had been well cared for by Katherine. Do not hesitate to let her take care of your best friend whether for an afternoon walk or as a (very responsible) house/dog sitter in your home.
I have a rescue dog with some separation anxiety and trauma, which has not been easy but Katherine has been so wonderful with him. He has become very attached to her and it is such a relief for me to know he is with someone who can read his moods and cares about him so much. Katherine is flexible, accommodating and trustworthy and both Gipsy and I loved having her as our dog sitter. We are sorry she has moved to New York, but whoever gets her as their dog sitter will be very lucky!
Katherine regularly looked after our dog, Django, which was a great help when trying to juggle a career, busy schedule and owning a pet. She is very reliable, great with our dog, and kept us updated with how he was getting on. Django can be a bit of a handful and Katherine was really good at making sure he behaved himself and got enough exercise. More generally, Katherine is a really nice and friendly person and very easy to get on with - I'd happily recommend her as an excellent dog sitter.
