I have a full time job currently but I will still be available to help watch your pets with good notice. I will be updating my calendar as I receive my schedule. My job sends out a schedule for 2 weeks at a time. With plenty of notice and details for care I'll make sure they stay happy while you are gone.

Safety, trust & environment

I can only take care of pets in the owner's home as I live in a place that doesn't allow pets. I usually ask for owners to leave a list of details for care for their pets. If pets are nervous I prefer to stop by and meet them when their owners are home a day or so in advance so I'm not a complete stranger. But if that isn't an option I'm ok working with your pets so they are comfortable when I get there.

Information Katherine G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any routines you'd like me to follow with your pets. Or if they have special needs or medications they need. Please also let me know their normal demeanor so I can safely read into behaviors that might be uncommon.

A typical day

I love to take dogs out for walks and play tug of war and fetch. For cats I find it fun to play with them and also if there is a good window view watch some birds with them.

I came home to calm and happy dogs. Katie is very professional and knowledgable about dog health and behavior. She was attentive to the needs of both my cranky senior chihuahua and my daughter’s young, boisterous, sometimes anxious lab mix. Your pets will be very well looked after. I also really appreciated her sending photos and updates on how things were going.

The animals were super happy to see her and content. She provided photos of all the critters everyday. The cats did typical silly cat things and she let us know which was appreciated. Highly recommend!

Kathrine did an excellent job watching our animals (one dog and two cats) while we were away for four nights. She provided lots of photos and daily updates. She also asked great questions and was able to help our dog when she realized he had a cracked nail that was bothering him. Katherine is very observant, conscientious and professional. The animals loved her and I think the house might have been cleaner when we returned than when we left. Highly recommended!

Katie was wonderful watching our dogs for a second time! Our family joked that our pups were probably sad when we came home because she took such great care of them. They got lots of walks, pets, treats, and brushing while we were gone. We came home to happy calm pups!
