WFH for all day and overnight care
Pet care experience
I only take one client at a time so your pet will have all of my attention. I generally have a 2-night minimum but may consider shorter stays especially for pets that I'm familiar with. I include up to 2 walks per day. If your pet requires additional walks, I will need to adjust the pricing. I grew up taking care of a black lab and indoor/outdoor cat. My husband Henry and I have an outdoor feral cat that has adopted our front porch and two indoor cats. We no longer board dogs, but I am happy to dog sit at your home. I can give a dog or cat cuddles, pets, attention, food, and walks. I live in Mount Rainier and can travel to nearby neighborhoods. I am willing to travel a bit farther for pet sits rather than check-ins. If your dog likes to play with other dogs, I can bring him/her to a dog park to run around off leash. I have not taken pet CPR or first aid but am certified in regular first aid/CPR.
Reviews
We would most definitely invite Katherine back to house-and dog-sit for us. She was great with both of our dogs, who took to her immediately and were happy and relaxed when we returned. She stayed in communication with us and coordinated with a neighbor while we were gone, and everything looked great when we got home. Thank you Katherine!
Katherine watched my pup in my home, and was excellent with her! She is very reliable, follows instructions, and responds promptly to messages. My pup is a nervous girl, but it was obvious that she felt very happy and comfortable with Katherine. Will definitely book with Katherine again!
Katherine is awesome, again. We came home to happy dogs as always.
Thanks to Katie, we were able to relax and enjoy our 9-day vacation knowing that our beloved 13 year old dog and our home were being thoughtfully cared for while we were away. We researched a number of options before connecting with Katie, who we found to be personable and professional from the first time we met. Over the course of the next few weeks, she came to walk our dog so that they could become familiar with one another before Katie began her stay in our home. She routinely sent us reassuring photos and updates of our dog while we were away and also did a great job taking care of additional house-sitting tasks we asked of her. We highly recommend Katie. We and our dog look forward to her assistance again soon.

Let me know if your pet likes to be an escape artist. I take caution to keep dogs from darting out the door without a leash.
Information Katherine H. would like to know about your pet
It is important to know if any medication is needed for a dog, how they behave on a walk and towards other people and other dogs.
A typical day
I like to know your pet's usual routine and where you typically walk. I know of some local dog parks if that is something your dog enjoys.

Availability
I will spend time at your home with your pet even on weekdays as long as there is good wifi and a desk or table I can use.
