Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your animals, I care for them like my own! I always ensure to spend extra time with them and ensure nothing is abnormal. Doors are always shut completely and locked before exiting. Always be assured that I am aware cats and small dogs can be escape artists but they won’t have any luck while I am watching them!

Information Katherine M. would like to know about your pet

Some information I would love to learn about your pets include their typical feeding routine, any medical problems they may have, a vet I can bring them to in an emergency, and some of their favorite things!

A typical day

Some fun activities that I love doing with the dogs I watch include going on long walks, playing with toys, fetch, and so much more! With cats I love to give them treats and cuddles if they desire!

Pet care experience

Ever since I can remember dogs and cats have been a huge part of my life! I have been a veterinary technician volunteer and veterinary technician intern for 2 years! At home I have a care dependent cat and German shepherd so pets with special care instructions or ones that jump are no issue at all. I am very happy to administer anything they may need including medications, injections, ointments, or other necessary treatments! I have watched puppies and kittens to 18 year old senior dogs! Throw anything at my way and I promise to give them my absolute 110%.

What an awesome care taker for our animals. My dog Chip knows now when Katherine will be coming. So, he gets his leash and goes to the front door and lays on his leash until she arrives!

Katherine was so sweet with our dog. She sent detailed updates with lots of pictures. I felt my dog was very well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend!
