Perfect fit for your pups!

Pet care experience

****PLEASE NOTE THAT MY PROFILE IS CURRENTLY IN AWAY MODE WHICH MEANS THAT I AM NOT ACCEPTING REQUESTS OUTSIDE OF PREVIOUS CLIENTS. I AM PREGNANT WITH TWINS AND BECAUSE OF THAT, MY AVAILABILITY AND ABILITY TO CARE FOR PETS IN THE WAY I NORMALLY WOULD HAS CHANGED. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE!*** Instead of boarding your dog during your next vacation, or worrying about them being locked in the house alone during extended work days, book me to feed, exercise, snuggle and entertain your dog in the environment they're already comfortable with: your home! (I also provide pet daycare in my home for small dogs/cats/other on certain days during your work hours!) I'm a fun, engaging pet sitter with many years of experience and a genuine love for animals. I'd love to become a trusted companion for your pet that they look forward to seeing when you find yourself away from home for extended amounts of time. My flexible work schedule allows for frequent daily visits. I'll send detailed updates with photos throughout my time at your home. I also offer baths and blowdrying as often as once a day if they get particularly muddy during our play/walk times outside! At your request, I will gladly spend the night with your "best friend" so they are not alone. I'll happily provide the snuggling they're accustomed to, and accommodate any potty needs that may arise throughout the night. My husband and I have two small dogs (5lbs and 10lbs) who are both well-tempered, great with children and visitors, and play well with other dogs of all sizes. We spoil our dogs, but as we would do with our own children (one day!), we try to keep structure, schedule and obedience a priority. When caring for someone's dog, I make sure to ask how much or little you want your pup to be spoiled with treats and excessive snuggles and how strict you'd like me to be with their crate schedule, eating schedule, and general obedience responses.

Katherine was great! Not only did she take our very last minute request to drop-in our dog, she also was very communicative and loving to all three of our pets. She went out of her way to find our shy cat and gave her some attention as well. We look forward to using Katherine again and we know our pets will be love seeing her!

Katherine is super professional and clearly has a knack for four-legged people. During my trip, she was extremely communicative and sent loads of pictures. My request was super last minute, but she easily accommodated my pet family, and I couldn't be happier with how well she looked after my pets. I have nervous animals who are wary of strangers, but they were so comfortable with her, that I received pictures of them snuggled up next to her, sleeping!! I can't recommend Katherine highly enough!

Information Katherine H. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your dog(s), here are some questions that I may ask you during our initial conversation or during our Meet & Greet: -Your dog's breed, age and weight -Is your dog potty trained? -Your dog's usual temperament toward unfamiliar people, as well as their usual temperament toward people they're very familiar with -Are there any restrictions that you'd like me enforce? (No jumping on furniture, no going upstairs, etc) -Does your dog usually stay in a crate when you aren't home or does he/she roam the house? -Does your dog have any specific feeding details that I need to know about? -Are there any medications that need to be administered while you're gone? -Does your dog need to be bathed and blow dried while you're gone? -Does your dog do well on leash during walks?

A typical day

I'm looking forward to taking your dog on long on-leash walks through your neighborhood or the local park trails! I'd love to know what your dog's favorite games and toys are so I can entertain them in the ways that they enjoy most.
