Pet care experience

Dog loving nurse in Dublin/Hilliard

Hi! I’m a nurse in the area who is looking to spend some free time with your pups. My husband, Steven, runs the app with me and he has over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I believe all animals should have the best care possible- they are part of your family. I’ve taken care of pets for over 15 years. I’ve boarded dogs in my home as well as stayed in client homes to dog/house sit. I’ve had scheduled daily walks for neighbors and friends as well. From small dogs to large dogs, to cats, fish, and lizards, I’ve helped with quite a bit. I have an 11 year old rescue Pomeranian who is very friendly. Throughout my time, I’ve had experience with medication administration, senior dogs, and bathing. I am very reliable, responsible, and have a lot of love for pets. I love to spoil animals and make them feel as at home as possible! Your mind will be at ease with photos and updates of your pet while you’re away, and with the promise I’ll take the very best care of them:)

Katherine was an excellent sitter for our dogs. They had a great time and were very well taken care of. She sent plenty of photos which is always much appreciated. We will definitely be going back.

Katherine took exceptional care of our dog Sandy during an unexpected trip to see a sick family member. She administered Sandy's medication and provided regular updates, which greatly eased our anxieties, especially since Sandy is epileptic. We felt reassured knowing Sandy was in such capable and compassionate hands. Highly recommend!

I am beyond thankful that Katherine and Steve came to hang out with Gus. She was so fast to respond to my last minute request and with how Gus reacted to them, I know he really enjoyed being with them. They took him on walks for his visits even though they didn’t have to and made sure he was fully taken care of with every little detail. And the added bonus of photos made my obsessed momma heart smile! Thank you guys, Gus and I are very thankful for you!

Schedule

I work close to my townhome in the Dublin/Hilliard area. I work Monday- Friday and have a rotating schedule of 6a-2:30p and 8a-4:30p, so I could let your pets out before/after work. My partner and I are free on Wednesdays and weekends all day to hangout with your fur babies. We’d love to meet you!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhome that has dog walking areas, and a backyard. They are working on building a dog park at the complex. Pets are allowed on beds/furniture with the goal to make them feel like they’re at home. Your pet will be loved, well cared for, and comfortable while you’re away! Your pet will receive one on one attention that fits their special needs and routines, unlike mass dog boarding businesses.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs/routines/medication. I would like to know the compatibility your pet has with other animals. All pets must be house trained/potty trained. We cannot board any pets with active illness or destructive behaviors. We cannot board your pet in our home if they do not get along with other animals.
