41 to 100 lbs

Availability

I'm currently working part time, but my hours are fairly flexible. I have open availabilities on weekdays, specifically mornings, but if your pet needs a little extra attention, I'm more than happy to make more room! I'm available for dog walking, daily visits, and overnight stays for any pet that may need a friend while their main person is away.

Safety, trust & environment

With over 3 years of professional pet experience (and many more years of being a dog owner) I believe your furry friends deserve the highest care and attention when their people are away. I have experience in dog walking, medicine distribution, behavior analysis, and animal enrichment and engagement. My experience working in an animal shelter gives me a wide view of the different perspectives and angles that care can show up in.

Information Katherine G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special requests, behaviors, or needs that I can focus on to give them the best experience as possible. While I have experience with dog-reactive dogs, I do like to know if there are any behaviors that could cause issues to arise. No dog is truly a bad dog, but knowing ahead of time of behaviors and quirks can go a long way to prevent bad situations.

A typical day

I love to give your dogs the full experience- we'll go on 'sniffaris' around your neighborhood, visit new places and explore, have lots of playtime with toys, eat some good treats, and so much more!

A Paws-on caregiver

Pet care experience

As an owner of a senior puppy-mill-rescued beagle, I'm familiar with some of the difficulties some pets may face in their day to day lives. Pet solutions aren't just one size fits all- and adapting my care style to fit your pet's goals and personality is my specialty. From high energy play sessions to long naps in the yard, I look to give your pet the best experience I can.

Finn has been absolutely fantastic with my pup Bowser! Very flexible, clear communication, and attentive!! Bowser is high anxiety so having someone that he’s super comfortable with gives me all the confidence!!

Katherine made herself available at the last minute to watch our home and care for our Moose and did such a great job. We got tons of photo updates and she was very communicative. Moose actually spent the morning after our return looking around the house for Katherine as she misses her already!

Katherine (Finn) G takes incredible care of animals. They have watched my cats several times, and always do a stellar ob of caring for them, making sure they are fed, watered, cuddled, and of course, spoiled with treats. Finn not only loves on the animals in their care, they also pay incredibly close attention to the health of the pets and monitor for any changes or problems, which makes me feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies in Finn's capable hands
