Pet care experience

When it comes to your pets, you want them to have the best care there is. My animals are my children. So, I understand the need to feel secure and confident when choosing a pet-sitter. I will treat your pet(s) as if they are my own and give them as much attention as they deserve. You can rest assured they will be in safe, trustworthy and above all, loving hands while you are away. I am competent working with large and small breeds of dogs and have experience with other species such as cats, small animals and exotics as well. Playtime and walks are an important part of your animal's daily routine and enrichment. During your pet's time with me, I will ensure they receive adequate stimulation and the same quality of care you provide them at home. I'm comfortable with administering medications, following strict feeding/health regiments, and caring for senior or young animals. I also have a pet camera in my house that I use to check on my pets daily, so as to provide peace of mind for the safety and wellness of your animal. I pride myself in my promptness and ability to strictly adhere to any and all instructions provided. You can also expect daily pictures and updates of your pet while you are away. A few facts about me and my qualifications: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Growing up, I've had and cared for dogs, cats, birds and various small animals and reptiles. Currently, I am lucky to be the proud parent of 2 cats and a rat. I work full time in Naples, and part time at a vet's office with the intention of pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. Volunteering is also a very important aspect of my life. I. Spend two days a week caring for and enjoying the company of wolves and wolfdogs at a local wildlife sanctuary.

Katherine is a friendly, responsible pet sitter. She sent me pictures and updated me daily on how my dog was doing. My dog got lots of exercise and learned how to go down stairways.

Kat was my fur kid\house sitter during a time when I had 3 dogs and 4 cats, and 2 of the cats also required special medical and diet needs. She was able to provide all those needs plus took the time to give extra love and and attention for their happiness! I am the type of person where leaving my fur kids for any duration usually gives me tremendous anxiety. However Kat’s additional attention, expertise in animal knowledge, and frequent updates always put my mind at ease while away. Their should be no hesitation in trusting her care of your fur kids :)

Katherine Herman is excellent at taking care of pets of all breeds and makes an excellent pet sitter. She has watched my dog and two guinea pigs several times and always follows all the care instructions I provide. She also has sent daily picture updates so I know my pets are doing well. Katherine's dedication and passion for animals is clear as she not only has several rescues of her own, but also volunteers at a local wolf sanctuary in Naples, FL, several times a week.

Kat is amazing with animals, especially dogs. Her personality and attitude make her someone I would trust to take care of my dogs. If you spend one minute with her you will see how much she loves dogs and I would recommend her with complete confidence.

A typical day

I live in Bonita Springs and am close to 2 nature trails, a dog park and dog friendly beaches. If permitted, I would love to take your pup to these areas. I also live in a gated-community that is very animal-friendly and can take them on long walks through the neighborhood. Also can provide healthy, safe enrichment options for animals with higher activity demands and of course, endless snuggles.
