Pet care experience
I have taken care of animals for friends and family over the past 20 years and have never had a complaint. I live an active lifestyle which is great for dogs with a lot of energy but I am also keenly aware that dogs are like people and all need their own brand of attention. Our home is kept clean so there is no worry about your pup getting into anything that wouldn't be good for them. It is also safe for older dogs who have a difficult time seeing. With that said, if your dog likes hiking I’m happy to bring them along! And as an extra bit of info, I honestly enjoy being around them and I think they can sense it and know they can play.
Reviews
Really flexible, reliable and friendly!
Katherine is Finny's favorite!
Finny loved staying and playing with Katherine and her pups. Can't wait to do it again. Recommend.
Katherine was great with Finny and housesitting. Very kind and conscientious.
About Katherine M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My two pups love having new friends around so your pup will always be entertained. They are both pretty aware of how much other dogs want to interact with them, too, so if you have a pup that enjoys more lounge time, they'll leave them alone and play by themselves. If I'm in your home, I'll take care of your pup exactly how you ask and what they are used to. :)
Home
Information Katherine M. would like to know about your pet
I like to know your pup’s typical day and if they have any behaviors I should watch out for so they're as comfortable as possible. Allergies are also a big plus to know about. If your pup is older, an overview of how their health is doing is also important.
A typical day
My partner typically wakes up around 4:30-5 and I get up between 5:30-5:45. The first thing we do is take the pups out to go to the bathroom. When it's not rainy out, we like to go for walks up to the Space Needle to see the sunrise. I work from home during the day and the pups keep themselves entertained with one another. When it's time for lunch I like to take the pups up to use the bathroom again. We like to make it to the dog park once or twice a week, weather permitting, and let them run out some of their energy. We'll bring rover pups along if you say they like dog parks and are comfortable there! Otherwise, the next time we go out is at night before bed. Pups always get lots of pets and love while they're here. :)

Availability
We have two pups that go out 2-3 times a day. I am happy to make adjustments if your pup needs a different schedule, otherwise I typically have them join in on our regular schedule.
