About Katherine H.
Communication
Dog skills
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.
Information Katherine H. would like to know about your pet
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!
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I try to match their energy and interests. I will explore playful cats’ toy collections with them. If a cat is a cuddle bug, I’m happy to sit quietly nearby and keep them company while they nap or receive gentle pets (with their permission, of course). I love going for walks with dogs, playing fetch, or just enjoying some outside time in the yard. I try to make each visit engaging and comforting—whatever makes your pet feel happiest and most at home.

Flexible Care for Cats & Dogs
Pet care experience
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.
Cat care experience
Katherine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
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!!
