Safety, trust & environment

Because of the pets of my own, I cannot offer boarding at my home. However, I’ve gone through the process of finding a dog and catsitter myself and will do everything to ensure you feel confident their needs are being met and their normal schedule is being adhered to.

Information Katherine H. would like to know about your pet

Please alert me about any allergies your pet has or necessary medication. For dogs, I’m comfortable handling dog-reactive dogs but please let me know ahead of time if there are any tendencies toward that.

A typical day

Good long walks to get some energy out (runs are optional for the real high energy pups and no extra charge - I’m training for two half marathons!); tug of war and lots of play time; snuggles galore and occasional special treats if diet allows.

Pet care experience

I am a proud foster failure dog mom and have a spunky rescue cat as well. I have experience handling both small and large dogs, as I grew up with a darling Italian mastiff for 6 years. I have housesat on multiple occasions for friends’ cats and pups. I am also happy to take your pup on a run if they need to get some energy out. I hope to have the opportunity to meet your furry friend. Please contact me if you have any special requests, as I can usually be very accommodating.

Katherine was amazing!! Plenty of updates during the day and kept our little Rosy entertained while we were out. A real gem of a dog sitter. We can't thank you enough.

Katherine took great care of Leo while we were away. Returned to a clean apartment and a very happy dog! Thank you Katherine!

Katherine is great. You can tell she really loves animals. She’s friendly, timely and gives great update. So glad we found her has a pet sitter/walker.

Katherine stay with our two cats for a week and was wonderful. She was very professional and communicative. We got regular updates and they were cuddling with her by the first night. Highly recommend.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
