Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive, loving care for your pup
I’ve been caring for dogs since I was five years old, and I truly believe great pet care comes from patience, consistency, and genuine love. I enjoy dogs of all personalities; from high-energy pups and determined, stubborn dogs to sweet snuggle bugs. I take the time to learn each dog’s needs and preferences, because no two dogs are the same. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications, and managing a variety of diets. I always aim to provide calm, reliable care that helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I currently care for two cats, two dogs (a chocolate lab and a dachshund), and a rabbit, so I’m very familiar with managing different personalities, routines, and needs. While I don’t provide in-home boarding, I focus on caring for pets in their own environment, where they’re most comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in being reliable, respectful, and attentive, so you can feel confident your pets are safe and well cared for while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
In a word- 5 Stars + Awesome! Katherine is patient with our high energy dogs and is very understanding of their socialization and activity needs. In fact, Katherine has an intuitive knack for identifying the differences in Zia and Zuzaxs' personalities and responses. The drop-in visits have really demonstrated Katherine's natural ability to put our dogs at ease while also being able set behavioral boundaries. Zia and Zusax are 9 months old and prone to testing limits, but they behave well for Katherine and we trust her dog-handling skills completely. In fact, they've behaved so well for Katherine that we are finally going to get away for a few nights while she house sits!
katherine did a great job taking care of my 3 cats while i was out of town. she even managed to get my shyest cat to come out for pets and play time! will definitely book again for future needs.
Katherine was a great find for our last minute booking! She was responsive and professional--we were especially impressed that she made the time for a meet and greet on short notice. Neko loved her right away and she sent lots of cute pics and a video during their walks. Would recommend and will book again!
Katherine did amazing with my cat Simba. I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about him. Would 100% recommend her to anyone needing pet care.
Katherine did a great job feeding Misty while I was gone. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future. SG
Reliable and caring. We look forward to her help in the future.
