Great Care for your Pup!

Pet care experience

I have been a professional dog-care and dog trainer for 20 years. I have experience with the littlest of puppies to the silver-faced elder-pups. I am well-versed in dog behavior and and training principles of all kinds. I have also cared for special needs dogs and can deliver almost any kind of medication with consistency and empathy. Your pup will be treated with love, affection and care - just like they were my own.

3rd time that Katherine has taken care of my kitties. She is very dedicated to spending time with them and getting to know them. Her report cards are fun to read and she is great with communication. I know my cats will be well taken care of while I’m away.

Katherine was always right on time and I could tell that she spent a good amount of time with my cats. Her pictures made me happy and her report cards were so much fun to read. I will definitely request Katherine again.

Kath watched our dog for a second time, this time for much longer (over a week). She was great with him and it was a big relief knowing we could leave for that long and he'd be in good hands

Kath is very responsible and thorough. She always sends pictures of our dog for each visit. She pays attention to instructions and is communicative

I work from home so would be with your pup the whole time. I am able to crate your dog (if crate trained) if needed. I do not have a fenced yard but I do live a block away from Franklin park for long walks. I have several forms of reliable transportation to be able to accommodate afternoon or weekend walks.

Information Katherine P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pup’s likes and dislikes! I am very comfortable with “high maintenance” dogs who may be selective with the company they keep or who have specific needs to keep them comfortable and happy. I understand the uniqueness of various breeds and understand that a dog of any breed is still its own individual.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on bikes to the woods, local parks and even the beach (when they are allowed to go). I have a strong training background and enjoy teaching new tricks and refining old favorites.
