Safety, trust & environment

I have no pets so your pet/s will be my main priority. I have a large fenced in yard and also live in a safe neighborhood with sidewalks for walks. I also have water/food bowls, collars and leashes, blankets, foam stairs or a ramp for elderly animals or animals with mobility issues so they are able to enjoy the couch and bed, multiple pet beds, toys, baby gate if they need to be confined to one area/room of the house, one big and one small crate if they prefer to be crated during night, thunderstorms, or if they just like hanging out in there (one of my dogs loved just walking in her crate and taking naps as it was a comfort place for her). I’m home 24/7 except the occasional grocery store run so your pet will receive lots of attention!

Information Katherine G. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting, I will email you a form that covers a variety of topics about your pet/s in order for me to best care for them. Please let me know of any behavior quirks and/or medical needs (there will be a section on the form for this). I cannot take any large dogs that have aggression issues. While I know a lot of the following breeds have a bad reputation for being aggressive but most are very well trained and lovable, I can’t take any of the following breeds at this time: Pit Bulls, Rottweiler, Bullmastiff, Doberman, American Bulldog, German Shepard, Siberian Husky. Sorry for the inconvenience!

A typical day

I can provide long walks, runs, long time outside if the weather is nice and pet is enjoying themselves. I will play with your pet, have lots of toys they can play with. Bathe and groom your pet if they get dirty/muddy. Lots of cuddles and snuggles (if they enjoy that)!

LOVE ALL ANIMALS! Home 24/7

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets (Guinea pigs, cats, dogs) my whole life from the time I was a baby and have loved and cared for each and every one of them! I also worked at the zoo for years handling and caring for a variety of animals so I am just a lover of all animals! I am American Red Cross Pet First Aid Certified. I am also currently in online school to become a vet tech as caring for animals is my lifelong passion and what brings me the most joy in life. I am very comfortable with giving medicine/shots or anything else health-wise your pet may need. I am a very organized and responsible person so you can trust your pet is in the best hands possible. I have a fully fenced in large yard and I also live in a super safe neighborhood for walks! I also have and can provide several pet related items (food/water bowls, big crate, small crate, toys, leashes, collars, foam stairs for elderly or dogs with mobility issues to make getting on furniture easier, blankets, dog beds, etc). I will treat your pet as my own and go out of my way to ensure they have an amazing and stress free experience while you are away! I will provide daily updates every night with pictures/videos and contact you if any issues ever arise. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send a message and ask away :)

Thank you Katherine for spending time with our sweet Edison today! He seemed really content and at home when we picked him up, and we truly appreciated knowing he was spending time with a new and caring friend all day.

Amazing person, such a kind and loving soul. Love sending my furbabies here. They always come home happy. MY FAVORITE PET SITTER EVER! Worth every penny!

Katherine is an amazing pet sitter. She goes out of her way to make sure my pets (one cat and two dogs) have the best time while I’m away. I also love that my pets don’t have to be separated as they are used to all three being together at home. Goes above and beyond than what is expected. I will never leave my pets with anyone else!

Katherine has loved her pets for as long as I've known her, from guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Really, she loves ALL animals, including the reptiles she worked with at the zoo. She babies and spoils them with constant nurturing and attention. She has taken care of my cat and dog on many occassions through the years, even when my sweet cat was 19 years old. I can relax and feel good about leaving my pets when they're with her. If Katherine pet sits with your fur babies, you can count her to pay attention to their needs and handle every detail as if they were her very own.
