Fitness Enthusiast & Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I am an experienced animal lover who is very active and patient. I had my own dog growing up and found it to be very delightful. Creating a lifelong bond with a dog is a beautiful thing. I am the oldest of 4 girls and 1 boy in my family and know how to take care of others and can handle high pressure situations calmly. I love being around all dogs big or small, and creating a bond with them. What I love most is knowing that the dogs I spend time with are always happy and tired after a visit. One of my other favorite things about building a bond with a dog is knowing they remember you the next time and are happy to see you! Usually I go on long distance runs early in the morning 4-6AM and again in the evenings from 4-7:30PM (ranging from 7-10 miles a day). I would be more then happy to take your four legged pals on these runs with me! In the evening if you prefer instead of a distance run I can also give them exercise playing catch and doing short sprints. I am someone who likes a little bit of everything and am very patient. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and do what needs to be done. I push myself to my limits in my daily runs and am very consistent and reliable. While being busy, my schedule is organized and steady. I always respond within minutes to any questions or comments from my clients. I will also be sure to send pictures regularly, and keep you consistently updated. I am willing to work with dogs with any disability as well.
Reviews
Katherine is great! Great communication, great rapport with my pooch, just a great experience all around.
She did a great job with our cat! I appreciated how she responded very quickly to messages and was very flexible with our schedule changes. She also updated me with photos of our cat. We would schedule with her again!
Our dog LOVED staying with Katherine! She took Oakley for runs and did some training with her. We are so happy with the whole experience for our pup and would definitely request her again in the future!
Katherine is great to work with, kept in touch throughout, and I can tell my pooch was happy!

Information Katherine N. would like to know about your pet
I work from 7-3PM Monday-Friday. In order to provide you and your dog with the best possible care, I will need to know all about the pup! Please fill me in on routines, anxieties, training cues, medical needs, behavioral quirks, and favorite toys and treats. I also like to know how your dog reacts to other animals and people. Please note the following *No biters *House-trained dogs only *All dogs must be up to date on vaccines *No fleas, please
A typical day
I wake up early in the mornings at 3:50AM and will run 7-10 miles in the morning and I would love to bring the dogs on this run with me. I will definitely give the dogs water and understand if it is too long of a distance and will adjust accordingly. I will be at work from 7-3. I live in a house with a yard and can either accommodate for long walks or short potty breaks. Whatever works best for your fur baby.
