Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I grew up with a black lab and then a Coton De Tulear (they're one of my favorite dog breeds). I am proudly the go to dog babysitter in my friend group. I have experience caring for the unique needs of senior dogs, dogs with separation anxiety and rescue dogs.
Reviews
Katherine did a fantastic job with my Rosie! So glad to have found her!
Katherine has taken care of my mini Aussie, Kato, many times both for daycare and a week long stay and she always does a fantastic job. Kato can get a little nervous and anxious, but Katherine clearly understands dogs, she is patient, and she knows how to give him comfort / confidence. She has also watched our large 70lb golden retriever for daycare and expertly handled a big boy like him as well! Besides my own family, Katherine is the person I trust the most when it comes to taking good care of my precious pups. She is attentive and genuinely cares for the dogs she watches—I would highly recommend her!
Katherine has dogsat my puppy on multiple occasions and has been the best! She is very attentive and Dasher absolutely loves her! I would recommend her.
Katherine is very responsible and a timely communicator who’s conscientious and great with dogs. Both my dog and my family’s dog loved her and were very happy with her!
About Katherine L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We can talk about your dog's needs and how I can best care for them. I've cared for dogs with some aggression/fear and know that it's important to listen and talk with the owner about their dog.
Information Katherine L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral concerns and how they are around other dogs/people. I'd also like to know what training you have/are doing so that I can be consistent with what you do.
A typical day
We'll play games, go for at least two 30 minute walks a day and step outside in the middle of the day as needed. Different dogs like different activities so I'm happy to adapt to what your dog likes best.

Availability
I am working on my thesis this summer and work remotely so I have plenty of availability and can be at home/with your dog a lot, especially if they have separation anxiety. I love to go for walks/runs.
