Pet care experience
Trusted Pet Care by a Fellow Parent
As a fellow Rover user, former Humane Society and National Zoo volunteer, and lifelong pet parent, I understand how crucial trust and reliability are. I’m here for you—even on short notice—with safe and experienced care. I have experience with all ages and sizes—from high-energy, attention-needing puppies and kittens to large dogs to slower senior/geriatric pets—including those with special conditions and needs, especially around food and taking medication.
Cat care experience
Katherine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with a spotless home, fenced paver yard, and no accessible toxic plants or substances. I have both a senior dog and a young cat, so I provide a space safe for them at all times and am always on the lookout for hazards. In clients’ homes, I follow routines carefully, ensuring comfort, cleanliness, and attentive care.
Ratings and reviews
Knowing Katherine was taking care of my fur baby is so comforting - Widget was like part of her family. He and I give her five stars!
Having Katherine walk and care for Nox was an absolutely fabulous experience, from meet and greet, through walks and more! Super reliable, fantastic with our puppy. 11/10 walker/sitter!
Katherine was great! She was able to accommodate us last minute, and made everything so easy!
Katherine is a wonderful communicator and is great at managing my stubborn dog. My go-to dog walker in the neighborhood!
Katherine is consistently wonderful! Reliable, communicative, and my dog has a great time with her!
Katherine is just the best! Would have her walk Toby every day if I could.

Schedule
I work a standard 9-to-5 job but with a slightly flexible start/end time, work remotely several days a week, and am home weekends and most holidays, so pet care naturally fits my routine. On WFH days, I walk about 4-5 miles/day, and I'm also looking for a furry friend to join. I lived (and worked) multiple places in the city, including Georgetown and Adams Morgan, but currently a homeowner in Dupont, so it's fairly easy for me to get to and around the nearby neighborhoods.

- Let me know if your dog has any personal space needs or behavioral issues I should be aware of and/or there are other dogs or certain animals they have a special reaction to -- and any known words or tips (perhaps something they've been trained on) to get their attention when distracted. I also like to know if they have a favorite spot or route, or they like something different each time -- ie., lots of new things to pee on.
