Safety, trust & environment

My dogs at home had free rein over the house and the yard outside, but we still took them for walks. We would occasionally crate them or put them in the garage with a heater, but generally they stay inside. The cats are strictly indoor animals, but we occasionally let them out on the screened in porch. I am able to crate dogs if need be, but I am also comfortable watching the dogs in the house. One of our cats is diabetic, so I have experience giving animals shots and pills if need be.

Information Katherine P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animals have any special needs or behaviors that I can look out for! Also let me know if your pet has a strict diet. I like to bring small treats for pets, but will not give them anything unless I know it’s okay to do so

A typical day

I love playing with dogs and cats to keep them entertained. I will also take dogs out and about so they can explore new smells and enjoy new environments. If your dog is friendly, I’d love to take them to a dog park so they can interact with other dogs!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10! My neighbors used to rely on me as a pet sitter when they went out of town! I grew up with 4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 hamsters, and various fish. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and I love them dearly! I even taught my dog Cocoa a couple of tricks

Katie did a great job with our two beagles. It was such a comfort knowing that she was there for them. She definitely has a way with dogs. Highly recommend her for your dog walking/sitting needs.

Katherine did a great job with my dog and cats! She was very responsive to my messages, she kept me updated daily and sent pictures so I could see how they were doing. I would recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

Katie was excellent staying with my pups for a 10-day vacation. She provided daily updates with pics, communicated timely and left my home cleaner than when I left. Would absolutely recommend her.
