Pet care experience

I have a 13 year old dog who is my baby. She is gentle and loves playing with other dogs. She is also non aggressive with cats. I have always loved looking after my friends and families dogs and I am very patient and responsible. I have experience with large and small dogs. I am a full time teacher and am available to walk dogs before 6 am and after 3:30. My son would be able to do a midday walk. I look forward to taking care of your 4 legged babies just like I would my own.

Katherine did a wonderfully caring job taking care of my 2 10 year old kitties, who had never been boarded before. I highly recommend her.

Katherine was extremely accommodating and made sure our dog was comfortable and safe. She was very flexible and took our booking last minute and really helped our vacation. Always a pleasure to deal with and highly recommend!

I think she’s ok person for other people, but for me it’s not what I expected. As soon as I got there with my dog it seemed like something was wrong and she didn’t want my dog to come near her. She contacted me on my 1st day of vacation and said my dog had to much energy and she couldn’t watch him for the extra days. Then contacted me again asking when I will be picking him up when it was already on the app that I was supposed to be picking him up at 11a.m on the 26th. I was up all night stressed about my baby and was worried if I really left him in good hands. Luckily I was able to find another sitter and her and her kids love my baby and having a blast.
