I’m a full time teacher during the school year and off during the summer time, holidays and occasional special teacher service days. I love to keep busy. Being your substitute fur mama allows flexibility and helps support my family during the summer months.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in my home I treat them as they are my own. I have a fully enclosed backyard. We would spend time outside playing in the backyard, going for walks around the neighborhood (dogs only), spend time cuddling, reading bedtime stories, etc. they would be provided meals according to the schedule you have set for them. They would have a specific place designated for their food and water. Fluffy bedding accommodations would be provided unless they you have one to provide they prefer.

Information Katherine H. would like to know about your pet

It would be helpful to know ahead of time any special requests or needs such as medication, feeding schedule, likes and dislikes. Also if there are additional times to visit throughout the day for check ins and house sitting.

A typical day

A typical day for a dog staying at my home for in-home boarding is filled with fun, comfort, and attention. From the moment they arrive, they are greeted with a warm, welcoming environment and a cozy spot to settle in. Mornings start with a wagging tail and a romp around the backyard, followed by a delicious breakfast. The day is packed with exciting playtime in the yard, interactive games, and cuddle sessions on the couch. Whether it’s practicing a few tricks, or just lounging in the sun or running through a sprinkler, every moment is designed to make them feel right at home. As evening approaches, a calming routine sets in with dinner and a relaxing winding down before bedtime by reading a book, ensuring they sleep soundly, dreaming of their next adventure.

Pet care experience

*****“Hi pet parents! 🐾 With gas prices currently on the rise, my check-in visit rates are being temporarily adjusted to help cover travel. I truly appreciate your understanding and continued support!”***** Hi! I’m Katherine, and I am here to take care of your furry family members with love and care. Fur mama, animal lover, and dedicated high school teacher—nurturing hearts both human and furry, one lesson at a time! I teach High School Engineering and Game Design at Myers Park High School. My passion for teaching is equal to my passion for animals. I take pride in taking exceptional care of your fur babies that we like to call our guests. I have been a dog and cat owner my entire life. There was never a time when we did not have a cat or dog—or a combination of both! I have experience with both senior cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable administering all types of medications (oral and injection). I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. Included in my services: I offer drop-ins, doggy daycare, and in-home boarding for small breed dogs, providing a warm and safe environment for them to stay overnight. Your pet will enjoy our fully fenced backyard, belly rubs, plenty of lap time and bedtime stories! Please note that I typically book out about a month in advance, as I’m fortunate to be an in-demand sitter. Because of this, I recommend accepting or confirming bookings quickly to secure your spot—availability can fill up fast! Last-minute and emergency bookings are welcome, as long as space is available. All guests must be dog-friendly because I have a small Papillon who is full of fluff and love and a 4 year old daughter who is very good with animals. She has been around them since the day she was born. Your fur baby will never be unsupervised—someone is always home. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. Boarding Breed Restrictions: For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I do not accept certain strong or high-energy breeds, including Pit Bulls, Dobermans, Boxers, Mastiffs, and similar large breeds. Thank you for your understanding and support of a safe, happy space for everyone. I’d love to learn more about your furry family member and how I can help make their stay feel like a home away from home!

I had a wonderful experience with Katherine. She spent plenty of quality time with my pups during each drop-in visit and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would highly recommend!

Hachi had an amazing time with Kathryn! She kept us updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Hachi was well cared for and happy. We would absolutely trust Kathryn to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.

Boomer has stayed with Katherine a few times now and he loves her! She is very responsive and sends sweet picture updates. She even gave him a new toy he enjoyed while staying with her. Looking forward to the next stay 😊
