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 is awesome! She was willing to come for a meet & greet before her first visit alone with the pets and I could tell she is great with animals almost immediately! She is very responsive to messages, and sent a great report card with pics of the animals. 10/10, hope to book with Katherine again in the future!

Information Katherine H. would like to know about your pet

I’m happy to follow any detailed instructions you provide!
