Pet care experience
It’s always been my goal to dedicate my time to helping animals thrive. That’s why being a pet sitter is a dream come true for me! I have been around dogs all my life and think that they deserve all the love and care that I can provide for them, so I just can’t wait to get to know your pup and make them happy! Although I started out just owning dogs, I’ve since become a professional pet sitter and walker, learned to do everything from trimming nails to brushing teeth, and just want to dedicate my life to keeping animals safe and happy! My home is a puppy palace! I currently have several animals in my home, so your pup will have lots of friends if they choose to stay over with me. I currently have a 3-year-old female Husky, two Chihuahuas, and a black tabby cat. All my animals are so fun and nurturing, and they’ll always do their best to help animals come into the fold in a loving way. My pets have definitely rubbed off on me, and I’m glad to share their welcoming nature! One of the best parts about me as a sitter is that I’m available around the clock! I’m currently transitioning to make sitting my full-time position, which means that I’m here for you and your pup at all times! That makes me a great fit for animals that are used to having a human presence around them during the day--or for ones that would benefit from that. It also gives me the opportunity to give your pup the freedom they need while you’re away! No one likes to keep their pup crated up, so it’s my pleasure to allow them to have free reign.
Reviews
Katherine was great with our kitten! He's pretty energetic and needy and she took excellent care of him while we were away! I would recommend Katherine to friends looking for someone to take care of their furry family members.
Katherine is great at responding to my last-minute requests for dog-walking and really takes good care of my dog Lucky. She keeps me updated and send cool pics of Lucky during their walks. I would recommend her and will continue to use her in the future.
Katherine responded promptly to my last-minute request for dog-walking. She got along well with Lucky from the start and kept me posted throughout their walks. Would recommend Katherine and also book her again when my regular dog walker isn't available.
Good morning, I'm Katherine's mom, Dori Effle & I'm submitting the following testimonial on her behalf: Pets are comfortable with Katherine , as they recognize that she's a good person who loves animals. There have been cats & dogs in our family since Katherine was 5 years old. Her values include care (annual Vet. Check ups & monthly flea treatments), feeding, & picking up after the dogs during walks. Should you decide to add Katherine to your staff, she will be a valued employee. She is trustworthy, honest, & takes her responsibilitis seriously. Regards.

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
One of the best parts of being a dog sitter is that I get to spend tons of time hanging out with awesome pups! I love to get out and about, so I’m a great fit for pups that enjoy spending lots of time getting exercise in. My favorite thing to do is head out on the hiking trails and see some scenery together! Some of my favorites are the trails around Double Peak Park, San Marcos, and Carlsbad. There are tons of places to explore, and I absolutely love bringing pups aboard for some fun!
