Pet care experience

Love my little furry family!

I have been a Yorkie, schnauzer or spaniel owner for years and just love the little furry family members. Currently Maggie May (my sweet rescue) and I love the opportunity to walk, keep and cuddle your "family member". I even make dog biscuits for the cutie pies if their owners give the okay. The safety and happiness of your dog is my primary concern. They will get a lot of love and the best possible care. Bottom line, I am an animal lover! I have been the go to person for my friends for years when they need a dog sitter or walker. I love having four legged friends as guests in my home.

Great dog sitter - very friendly- we met her a few weeks previously and knew our Molly would be in great hands - we have a regular dog sitter who was not available this particular weekend but would not hesitate use Katherine again !

Kelsey had a wonderful time with Katherine. I was afraid Kelsey wouldn't want to come home she enjoyed herself so much! Katherine is a wonderful pet sitter. I could tell she truly enjoys taking care of pets. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter.

Katherine was wonderful with my 14-year-old Cockapoo, Mr. Bailey. She was incredibly attentive, and you could immediately tell how much she genuinely loves little dogs. She took great care in administering his medication and gave him so much love and attention while we were out of town. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave us complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

I could not have been happier with Katherine. She sent me pictures every day of Lola and I know she gave her all the attention my pup needs. Highly recommend her if you are in need of a sitter for you dog.

Katherine was fantastic. I think our dog, Cooper, would have been happy to stay.

Schedule

I work from home so am always available for the fur babies. Generally most of our furry friends love sitting in my office with me and checking out what is going on outside from the double window on the front wall.
