Reviews
Katherine was incredible. She took great care of my dog who was injured and followed all of the care instructions and was comfortable giving him his medication. She was communicative and updating me on how he was doing and each night she came back to watch him he was happy to see her. Would definitely recommend Katherine and use her again. Thank you so much.
Katherine is very caring towards all animals. She is a very conscientious pet car provider, follows directions well, and loves to interact with pets of all shapes and sizes!
About Katherine L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I lock the doors and carry pepper spray with me, I easily adapt to routines and take notes on pet behavior and needs. I will happily update you on your pets and send photos.
Information Katherine L. would like to know about your pet
It’s important that I know about any special needs or instructions for the animal prior to booking. Such as injuries or conditions. Knowing the breeds / species is helpful as well, though I don’t discriminate against big or “ aggressive” dogs. Other pets such as cats, birds, reptiles, etc are welcome as well. Nothing with an exoskeleton or more than four legs, sorry.
A typical day
Depending on what service is chosen / requested, I start with breakfast and any morning medications / routines, one walk a day minimum, and relaxation time , plus playtime.
