Animal lover!

Pet care experience

I have about 6 years of pet care experience around the South Shore of Boston and love caring for dogs. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs, and dogs of all sizes- big and small. I also have some experience administering medication to dogs, which I may need a refresher on but am happy to do. I have a large fenced-in yard and also live close to parks and beaches. I have no problem taking a pup in my car (as long as they are good in cars!) to a dog park or some other place they would enjoy. I recently went through a career shift where I am again working in Boston but am available on weeknights (after 5) and weekends and would love to fill me free time with animals!

Katherine was wonderful with our15 year-old Toy Poodle. She is patient and kind, and I highly recommend her.

Katherine has been amazing!!! Our rescue dog is not the easiest to walk but she adores Katherine. She is very prompt, caring and easy to get in touch with. We left our dog with Katherine for our wedding weekend and she took amazing care of Ginger. With all the stress of a wedding, our dogs care was one thing we didn’t need to worry thanks to her! Highly recommend :-)

Katherine has been our pet sitter for over a year. We have a very large household in terms of pets (4 cats and 2 dogs) and she has been able to care for them all. Both of our dogs have health issues ( one is a senior dog with trouble getting around sometimes, while the other is on long term health medicine) and she is able to handle both without any problems or issues. They absolutely love it when she comes over and I think they are actually a little heartbroken when she leaves!! It is such a relief to know that my pets are take care of when I am not around. She is a valued member of our family and I can not imagine trusting my animals to anyone else.

Katherine has been our only animal and house sitter for the past 6 years. During this time we have had different dogs and cats (never fewer that 5) and she has always been the only person we would trust with our "zoo". When traveling, friends going with us have left their dog in addition to our group. Friends and neighbors have also starting asking for Katherine to watch their animals. Katherine is a kind and compassionate person who is very responsible as well. Important note, when watching animals she is actively engaged with them, and enjoys taking them on "adventures" which they love! She is attentive to each and all of their needs, medicines, food, walking, and lots of love. I highly recommend this young woman for your service, but only when she is not working for us!
