I’m experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals, including pets with special needs or unique routines. Whether your furry friend needs long walks, fun playtime, or cozy cuddles, I’m here to provide love and attention tailored to their needs. You can trust me to create a safe, stress-free, and happy environment for your pet while you’re away. Let me know how I can make their stay the best ever!

Katherine was great with Willow. She did drop in visits over a 24hr period. She sent pictures and Willow looked very comfortable. I will use her again. Thanks

Katherine made us feel completely at ease leaving Chana and Pancho in her care. She is incredibly professional and truly loves dogs, which gave us confidence that our pups were in great hands. It was clear that they had a wonderful time at her house, especially enjoying the company of her dog, Kosmo. We could tell that Katherine went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. We highly recommend her and will definitely trust her with our dogs again in the future!

I had a wonderful experience with Katherine as my dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay, sending regular reviews with adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable he was. She responded quickly whenever I reached out, which gave me such peace of mind. When I picked him up, he looked and smelled so clean! I could tell he’d been very well cared for. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pet!

We left our pup Ellie with Katherine for a week while we were away. Katherine was very flexible and communicative, which was great for us as this was the first time we left our pup with anyone. Ellie had a great time playing with Katherine's dog in her spacious backyard. Katherine sent some pics throughout the week and was always quick to respond whenever we had a question. We would leave Ellie with her again :)

Schedule

Caring for pets is a big part of my daily and weekly routine, and I absolutely love it! My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide plenty of time and attention to every pet in my care. I start the day with outdoor playtime or a walk, ensuring they get exercise and fresh air. Throughout the day, I offer companionship, feedings, and any special care they may need. With my fully fenced yard, your dog can enjoy supervised playtime, and I always prioritize one-on-one interaction to make every pet feel loved and secure. Whether it’s a short stay or a week-long visit, your furry friend will be my top priority!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home: When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family! I have a cozy, pet-friendly space with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, and cuddle time, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have for your pet’s routine, including medications, special diets, or training needs. In your home: If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed, walked, and entertained just as you would, while also providing plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your space and always leave it just as I found it. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, their happiness and well-being are my top priorities!

Pets

A typical day

Every dog has their own personality and energy level, so I tailor activities to match their needs! For dogs, I love going on walks, playing fetch, or letting them explore safely in my fully fenced yard. I’m also happy to work on enrichment activities like puzzles, treat hides, or gentle training to keep their minds stimulated. Whether it’s a fun-filled adventure or a cozy day at home, my goal is to make their time with me as enjoyable as possible!

Before caring for your pet, it’s important for me to know as much as possible about their personality and needs. Here are a few key things I’d love to know: Daily Routine: What does a typical day look like for your pet? Temperament: Are they shy, energetic, or somewhere in between? How do they react to new people, other pets, or certain environments? Health: Do they have any medical conditions, allergies, or medications? Behavioral Traits: Are there any habits or quirks I should be aware of, like separation anxiety, barking, or chewing? Preferences: Do they have favorite toys, activities, or comfort items? Triggers: Are there situations or things they dislike, such as loud noises or certain types of people or pets? The more I know about your pet, the better I can ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care!
