I work full time from 7:45-3:45, so I would be a good fit for households with pets that either don’t require a walk in the middle of the day or already have a dog walker. I am pretty active and enjoy long walks and going on runs, and I would love to include your pet in that routine!

Safety, trust & environment

As someone who grew up with animals but doesn’t live with them anymore, you can sleep easy knowing that if I am looking after your animal they will be appropriately spoiled. I love giving long belly rubs and going on lots of walks, or if you have a pet that is a little bit more reserved, I am happy to hang out with them and tell them how good of a boy/girl they are from afar. I really just enjoy the company and am happy to play with your pet on terms that are most comfortable for them!

Dog, Horse, and Cat lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs my whole life, enjoying doing things such as basic obedience, hiking trips, and agility. I also grew up with horses so I have experience working with larger animals. I did not grow up with cats but have cat sit for several people and fostered a kitten for a summer in college!

Katherine was truly wonderful to have in our home for a period of about 2 weeks in summer 2026. Communication was great and we got lots of pics updating us as to the status of our dog and cat. Would definitely enlist her help again with no hesitation!

Katherine was fantastic with our Muffin and is a delight! We had ongoing pictures and texts from her that made us comfortable during our two weeks away. We are so pleased that we got to know her!

Katherine house sat our two dogs, Oliver and Gatsby. She was dependable and really made a connection with our dogs. I would highly recommend her to pet sit either your dogs or cats.
