Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets both in my own home and in clients’ homes, ensuring they receive personalized, attentive care in the environment that suits them best. In my home, I offer a safe, clean, and pet friendly space with constant supervision, regular feeding, exercise and play. When caring for pets in a clients home, I maintain their normal routine to reduce stress, follow all care instructions carefully, and keep the space tidy and secure. Whether at my place or yours, I treat every pet with patience, kindness and professionalism- always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and well-being.

Information Katherine M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pets daily routine, temperament and any medical conditions or medications they need. It is also important to know how they behave on a leash and around other dogs or strangers and whether they have any fears or triggers. Clarification on house rules, such as whether they’re allowed on furniture or need crate time, and having emergency contacts and vet information on hand to ensure both the pets well-being and the owners peace of mind.

A typical day

When pet sitting, I make sure your furry friend stays happy, active and loved with a variety of fun and enriching activities. From playful sessions like fetch, tug-of-war and Interactive toys to relaxing cuddle time, every moment is tailored to their personality and energy level. Regular walks and outdoor play (if allowed), and a consistent routine help pets feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. Plus, I love sending photo updates so you can see your pet enjoying their time and feel completely at ease

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Katherine and am super passionate about working with animals! I have been working with animals since 2010. I have experience caring for everything from playful puppies to nervous rescue cats and farm animals. I am confident in handling animals with patience and understanding, and I always prioritize their safety and comfort.

Katherine agreed to sit for us last minute,which allowed us to visit our grandchildren in red deer. She was good caring for our nervous senior dog, and sent us regular feedback and pictures. She left out home nice and tidy. We will be having her sit again for us at the end of December!
