Cat and dog lover!
Pet care experience
I absolutely LOVE dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, and I just want to be their best friend! I currently have a cat and have previously fostered a large dog and hosted dogs in my home for up to one week while their owners were out of town. I'd love to do drop-in visits to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you're away. I also offer doggie daycare if your dog has separation anxiety and just needs someone to cuddle and play with them while you're at work! I have lots of experience caring for cats as well as experience with dog sitting for extended periods of time. I’m very patient with getting to know new animals and earn their trust. I have experience caring for puppies to senior dogs of all sizes and will cater to your dog's individual energy level and personality. I have also taken care of many different cats of all ages and personalities. I'm very willing to work with you and your fur baby to make sure that that all of his/her needs are met, and most importantly that you feel comfortable knowing that your pet is happy well taken care of. I have experience administering medication to cats (i.e. pills and other oral medication). For drop-in visits, I’m also more than happy to help with any chores around the house if needed, such as watering plants and bringing in the mail. I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have also gotten three booster shots, including the bivalent booster
Reviews
My cat Pablo loved Katherine and enjoyed the time together. She followed all the instructions and communicated regularly with details. Will definitely try to book her again. :)
Katherine was very pleasant to work with! She came on time, took lots of cute pictures, and accommodated all the specific diet requirements for our cat. Would definitely book again!
Unfortunately Katherine notified me the day of the agreed upon drop in visit that was unable to come that day. She did offer to come the following day, which ended up being fine, but it was a bit stressful handling this last minute change while I was on vacation. She took great care of my kitty and sent pics/updates once she was able to visit!
Katherine was so thoughtful in taking care of our kitty Twilight. In addition to regular text updates, she took the BEST photos. Made us feel very connected while we were away.

Your pet will be treated as if he/she were my own and will receive all the love and belly scratches while they're in my care. I'll make sure that they have enough food and water and spend time playing and/or cuddling with them. I'll also send lots of photos after each visit.
Information Katherine G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there’s anything I should be extra attentive to with your dog or cat! Specifically for dogs, if your dog is good off-leash, if there are any behaviors I should be aware of, and how your dog acts around other dogs and people. I want to make sure that you and your pet are both happy and feel totally comfortable with me taking care of them!
A typical day
I love to take dogs on long walks and give them lots of pets and cuddles! We’ll have lots of fun exploring different neighborhoods and discovering new smells. I live within walking distance of lots of green space and dog parks, so we'll take some time on the weekends to run around!

Availability
I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule, so I’ll be home during the weekdays on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Since my job is mostly sitting at a desk all day, I’d love any excuse to get outdoors to get some exercise and take your dogs on long walks! If your dog likes to play fetch, I keep a whole bag of tennis balls on hand just for the dogs I take care of.
