Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Katherine and I am 24 years old. I am currently in my third year of Biological Science and Psychology at the University of Guelph. In high school, I completed a full co-op semester at St. Francis Animal Clinic in downtown Kitchener. There I got to practice being hands-on with all different sizes and personalities of both cats and dogs. I got to experience first-hand what it is like to work in a clinic setting which gave me the experience and confidence to take care of pets. DOG WALKING: Let me personalize your dog's walk with whatever they enjoy doing. I am comfortable going on a fast-paced walk or a slow one (to smell ALL the trees)! HOUSE SITTING: I am confident in learning your dog's personal needs quickly. I follow instruction on feeding times and portions very well and will also keep to your pet's schedule for walks. I have house-sat for many fur-families before and feel confident I can adapt and learn your pets' needs quickly. I will respect your home and provide as much love as I can for your furry family member! DROP-IN VISITS: I will be happy to give your pet my full attention as I feed and play with them. I can adapt to your pet's personality and give them customized care depending on their dietary or medication needs.

Katherine did a wonderful job watching over our three kitties and minding our house while we were away for 5 days. We felt very confident that they were in good hands so we could relax on our vacation and know they would be well cared for in our home. She was very responsive to messages and sent updates and photos, and even went above and beyond taking out the garbage which was lovely. Will definitely book again next time we are away if she's available!

Katherine was able to accommodate our last minute request, and provided fantastic care to our 3 year old mix breed. She sent daily updates and worked around the schedule we asked for. Couldn't be happy with the care she provided our Mika and our house while we were away!
