Pet care experience

Teacher on Break, Dog’s BFF 🐾

I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. As an elementary school teacher, patience, responsibility, and consistency are a big part of who I am. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love. I’ll treat your pet like family and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

I cant say enough good things about Katherine! She took great care of our dog while we were away. You can tell she loves animals. Our pup was happy and cared for, and it gave us a peace of mind knowing he was in such trustworthy hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!

Katherine was amazing with our golden retriever Duke! I loved her availability to squeeze us in last minute so Duke wouldn’t have to be alone during a thunderstorm. She took such good care of him all day, and he never even showed her the typical signs of thunderstorm anxiety he shows us. She’s a gem, and we love having somebody nearby that will care for him the way we do when we are out of town!

There’s no one I trust more than Katherine to watch our precious 12 y/o Boston Terrier. For context our dog gets separation anxiety & has health issues that requires medication. She has watched him weeks at a time & the peace of mind we have knowing he is well cared for while we’re away, is invaluable. I could not recommend a more thoughtful & caring sitter.

Schedule

I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy staying active and will make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship they need while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fenced in yard. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. As an elementary school teacher, I am patient, dependable, and attentive to details. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel secure. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated throughout my visits.
