Pet care experience

We're a Family that Loves Dogs!

I grew up with both cats and dogs, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding and caring for animals. Now, with my own family, we've had the joy of raising a cat, a dog, and a bird. I've thoroughly enjoyed the process of training each of them, helping them develop positive behaviors and become well-adjusted companions.

We feel lucky to have found this great little family to watch our dog Maple. It was very obvious she got lots of love and attention during her stay with them. We will definitely call and use Katherine and her family again. We appreciated their kindness and willingness to accommodate. Thank you.

Outstanding experience with Katherine! She and her lovely family took excellent care of our two dogs while we were on a trip. We were delayed in our return and Katherine was extremely accommodating . The dogs had constant attention and care, so much that the dogs weren’t ready to leave. Normally they can’t wait to leave when we pick them up, but this time they didn’t want to go. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. Highly recommended!

Katherine is the best caregiver I know. She takes very good care of her own pets and shows them a lot of love. She took care of my families cats and she did an amazing job! I would definitely have Katherine watch them again!

Schedule

Pet care is an important and structured part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I make time for walks to ensure they get exercise and mental stimulation. I also include short training sessions to reinforce good behavior and keep them engaged. Weekly, I groom them by brushing their fur and checking for any signs of health issues. Overall, I prioritize their physical health, emotional well-being, and a consistent routine that helps them feel secure and happy.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a safe and enriching environment for pets. I have a fully fenced yard where they can play games and enjoy supervised outdoor time. There’s also a park just down the street, which is perfect for walks and games of fetch. Inside, I offer a crate for pets who prefer a cozy, secure space, as well as plenty of quiet areas where they can relax if they need downtime. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and engaged—whether through play, exercise, or rest.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy during their time with me. Depending on their energy level and preferences, we’ll go on walks to explore the neighborhood or visit the nearby park to play fetch. In the yard, I like to play interactive games like tug-of-war or practice simple training exercises that keep their minds sharp. For pets who enjoy a slower pace, we’ll spend time cuddling, brushing their fur, or just relaxing in a quiet spot. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality and needs to ensure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved.

It's very important for me to understand each pet’s individual needs and personality before caring for them. I like to know about their daily routine, energy level, any medical conditions or medications, dietary restrictions, and behavioral tendencies—such as how they react to other animals, strangers, or being left alone. I also ask about their favorite activities, any fears or triggers, and how they communicate when they need something. The more I know up front, the better I can create a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience for them.
