Vet School Masters + Work from Home

Pet care experience

My name is Katherine and I have a strong educational and experiential background in animals because they are my passion! I have a bachelor's degree in animal science and a master's degree from Tufts Veterinary School. I started pet sitting at a young age and increased my knowledge of pets and pet health by working 3 years at a veterinary clinic, 5 years at a zoo, and fostering over 30 humane society pets. From those experiences, I am comfortable administering medications and caring for seniors. I currently do wildlife and zoonotic disease research fully remotely from home-so I can be with your pet all day! Your pets will be treated how I want mine to be treated, and I do my best to give the most attention, safety, and love possible to your pet family while you are gone. I am excited to meet you and your pets and hope to hear from you soon!

Katherine was top notch! Lucy had such a great time exploring and being pampered while there. She can't wait to go back!

Katherine took great care of our puppy! Best rover experience we’ve had. She sent the best pictures and kept us updated the whole time. Would trust her with our puppy again!

Our cat had a great 2 weeks drop-in visits with Katherine upon we were on travel and we got plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay. We'll definitely ask Katherine to watch Barbara again.
