Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid. I also nannied for many years, which often included taking care of the family’s pets (mostly dogs and cats). During the pandemic, I fostered kittens through RAL, and I now have a two year old pup of my own at home.

Katherine has been incredibly thorough and took excellent care of my fur babies while I was away. I also really appreciated her being able to accommodate my last-minute request :)

Katherine took wonderful care of our two dogs, including a senior dog with daily medication needs. Our dogs loved her visits and she was great about communicating any issues to us and providing updates and photos while we were away. We will absolutely be booking her again! Highly recommend!

Information Katherine H. would like to know about your pet

I’m happy to follow any detailed instructions you provide! If applicable, please let me know about your pet’s preferences/quirks (do they like cuddle time or high-energy play? any escape tendencies? are they shy with new people or other animals?), favorite foods/toys/activities, any allergies/medications, and your house rules.

A typical day

Please let me know any particular preferences for your pet—since each animal has their own personality and preferences, I like to follow their lead, whether that’s snuggles on the couch, playtime with favorite toys, walks, etc.
