Safety, trust & environment

In both my home and clients’ homes, I’m very attentive to safety— including secure leashing, monitoring during walks and playtime, keeping environments clean and pet-friendly, and making sure pets are always supervised appropriately. I also respect pets’ boundaries and comfort levels, especially with shy or anxious animals. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to help owners feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to care for pets with the same level of patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my own animals.

Information Katherine L. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d like to learn about their routine, personality, preferences, and any special needs so I can make them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Helpful information includes feeding schedules, potty routine’s energy level, walking habits, favorite activities, triggers or anxieties, medications, and how they typically interact with people and other animals. I’d also appreciate knowing any commands they respond to, comfort items they love, and anything that helps them feel safe while their owner is away. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide personalized, attentive, and loving care for each pet.

A typical day

A typical day is centered around making pets feel comfortable, engaged, and well cared for while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Depending on each pet’s personality and energy level, this can include walks, playtime, enrichment a, cuddle time, outdoor breaks and plenty of one-on-one attention. For more active pets, I enjoy longer walks, interactive play, and helping them burn energy in a healthy and fun way. For calmer or more relaxed pets, I’m equally happy providing companionship, a peaceful environment, and lots of affection at their pace. I also make sure pets have structure throughout the day with regular feeding, potty breaks, fresh water, and rest time. Owners can expect photo updates so they can see their pets happy, safe, and enjoying their time in my care.

Loving & Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Katherine, an animal lover and experienced pet parent who understands how important it is to leave your pet babies with someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy. As a pet owner myself, I know every animal has their own personality, comfort level, and routine. I genuinely enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I currently care for my own pets, including a standard poodle and two cats, so I’m comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your pets love long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I adapt my care style to what helps them feel most comfortable. I live a very active lifestyle and enjoy incorporating walks, outdoor time, enrichment, and structure into pet care. I’m also very detail-oriented and communicative, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance while your pet is with me. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend!

Katherine does an excellent job with Otto. He is a very spirited pup and doesn’t always have the best walking etiquette (we’re working on it!) and Katherine handles it beautifully. He always excited to see her and it’s clear he feels safe with her. Katherine is also punctual, dependable and personable.

Katherine has been so helpful, accommodating, and reliable, when it comes to Callie. As a first time dog owner, I am worried all the time about my puppy, so it’s nice to know she’s with someone who genuinely cares during the day. Would definitely recommend!
