Highlights
Pet care experience
Excited to make new furry friends!
I work with animals and love learning their personalities and mannerisms. I would love to extend that love to your pet as well! I've spent time volunteering at my local humane society walking dogs and have really enjoyed that experience. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats between friends and family and I always have room for more animals in my life.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Katherine was amazing! We got to set up a meeting beforehand and she was very open to everything and responsive! Our dog, Lena, is a very shy girl around new people, but she warmed up to Katherine super quick! We got plenty of pictures/updates during the stay and will definitely be going back!
Katherine and Jane were so attentive and went above and beyond for kiwi, with daily updates and were able to be flexible with time and emergencies. Kiwi was very happy when I picked him up!
Katherine was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and took great care of my cats. I appreciated the check in pics!
Katherine is amazing! She took such good care of our dog Luca for 3-4 days while we were out of town. She gave him plenty of exercise and snuggles. We really appreciated daily pictures and videos, it made us feel comfortable that Luca was so happy with her. Would highly recommend.
Katherine did a great job watching Stevie! She was quick to respond and communicate with me, sent many pictures and videos, and even got Stevie playing with birds on the TV. She took amazing care of her. I will definitely be using her as my go-to sitter!
Kate was a great cat sitter-super responsive and attentive to Japes. She was really easy to communicate with and left our place (and kitty!) in great shape. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I work a typical 9-5 job, which leaves me with a structured and consistent schedule and flexibility before and after work. I also occasionally have time in the middle of my day for quick drop ins. I'm looking for opportunities to integrate pet care into my daily schedule. I am able to prioritize plenty of time during the evenings and on the weekends for pet care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My partner and I live in a quiet suburban apartment complex that is pet friendly. We live right down the street from the Charles River Greenway which would be perfect for long walks for your pet. We are also within walking distance of a great dog park if your pet is looking for new friends to play with! I adjust easily to new environments and will prioritize your pet's comfort and well being, whether that is through boarding or house sitting.
A typical day
I love creating enrichment activities for animals, like puzzles that mentally stimulate your pet to find rewards. I am happy to provide pet-friendly treats that enrich your pets' chewing needs, plenty of cuddling time, and walks outside to release any unspent energy from the day.
