Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, Loving, Responsible
I've had large and small dogs, cats, goats and birds in my life since I can remember. I am patient, calm, fun and caring with animals of all kinds and can offer my home to care for dogs in, or I can care for your dogs, cats or goats at yours! I have a spoiled 60 pound pup of my own named Luna who likes to play with other dogs and I also have reliable transportation if you should need your dog to go to the vet or would prefer I come to your house to care for you pup. I have excellent references and would love for you to meet us!
Cat care experience
Katherine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large yard and a quiet neighborhood to go for walks around. I can provide blankets for your pup, and if needed I have space to crate your dog though we do not crate ours. I will be the responsible care person for your pet, I am married and we have one dog named Luna. Your dog can snuggle with us on the bed until it is time to go to sleep when they will go to their dog bed either in our room, or in the living room. Our house is not crowded and we have space to play ball, tug of war or fetch in rainy, yucky weather.
Ratings and reviews
On time, Great FU and communication!
Katherine helped us out after our long term pet sitter had a medical emergency. She was thoughtful, thorough and our cats were well taken care of. Even our introvert cat came out while she was here, and our lap cat tried to keep her at the house as long as possible.
Katherine took great care of our thirteen year old kitty cat. She was reliable, responsive, and sent wonderful photos and updates each day we were gone. Our cat doesn’t love other people, and Katherine was super patient with her and even got some pets in. We highly recommend her and hope to hire her again for our next trip!
Katherine is great! Super communicative, very prompt and took great care of my dog during a drop in
Absolutely fabulous, five stars isn’t enough!
We travel several times a year at least, and Katherine has been hands down the best experience we have ever had with a pet / house sitter. Katherine went above and beyond to take care of our 2 dogs and 4 cats. She took the most loving care of all of our animals, paying special attention to detail and following schedules. It felt so good to come home late last night to a space that felt clean and even better than we had left it. I am very grateful I found Katherine and highly recommend her for anyone needing a very responsible, compassionate and caring pet sitter!

Schedule
I have plenty of free time to care for your animals as I am able to work from home most of the time! We can play in our large yard, go for walks locally and hikes on the Blue Ridge Parkway in nice weather. Cats can be cared for at your home where I can feed & water, spend cuddle time with them and clean the litter box. I can feed the goats, check and change their water, clean up their bedding and make sure they have minerals and treats. I have also cared for alpacas and llamas!
