Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible Care for Cats & Dogs
I have over 15 years of pet care experience, including caring for my own pets and petsitting for friends and family. I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have three cats of my own and have experience administering various types of medication, including oral meds and topical treatments. I also regularly care for several community cats, so I’m comfortable working with shy, independent, and less social animals. Whether your pet is playful, anxious, energetic, or aloof, I’ll provide thoughtful, loving care that meets their unique needs.

Safety, trust & environment
My heart has always belonged to animals. I own three cats and grew up with dogs, and I have loved them all. Am willing to play, scratch behind ears, match enthusiasm, or be ignored, all for the love of pets.
Ratings and reviews
Katherine was absolutely wonderful with our cats! She was dependable, caring, and treated our pets as if they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands while we were away. Katherine kept us updated, was attentive to their needs, and made sure they received plenty of love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets!
Katherine was great with our dog! Very friendly, responsive and a great problem solver. I would definitely recommend boooking!
I needed help and it was super last minute. Very accommodating and responsive with communication. Went out of her way to meet my 2 bratty dogs the day before she needed to help me out. Will definitely reach out to Katie again
Katherine is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had!! Every single note and photo is so sweet! She goes above and beyond every visit and Clio loves to see her!! She is everything and more and makes me feel so much better about traveling. Highly recommend!!
Katie is amazing! She communicated with me that she was on the way, how the visit went and when the visit was over! She took great care of my Lucy and look fwd to booking with Katie again!
THE BEST CAT SITTER!! Clio loves her so much and she always spends quality time with Clio when she visits. She also sends great pics that make my heart happy🥰. Always quick to respond. Highly recommend!!

Schedule
I currently offer drop-in visits and walks Friday through Sunday in the Fredericksburg, VA area, with flexible availability throughout each day. Whether you need a quick walk or some weekend companionship for your pet, I’m happy to help make your time away stress-free!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsKatherine can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Before sitting, I always like to know: • Your pet’s routine (mealtimes, litter box habits, walk schedule, etc.) • Any medical needs or medications • Behavior quirks (Are they shy? Do they hide? Are there things that trigger anxiety or aggression?) • How they feel about strangers, other pets, loud noises, etc. • What kind of affection or play they enjoy—or don’t • Any house rules you’d like me to follow (no pets on furniture, doors to keep closed, etc.) The more I know up front, the better I can tailor my care to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
- These prices are for 1 dog.
