Kat - Pet Care Specialist!

Pet care experience

“It takes a village to raise a fur baby” - Cesar M Okay so Cesar didn’t really say that – but those words couldn’t be truer – and that’s why I’m committed to help provide the safety, care, and love that your pet deserves! With lifelong pet care experience ranging from cats, dogs, ferrets, and exotics - you know your pets will be well cared for! Committed to excellence - I’ll always strive to provide you with ease of mind so your time away is what it should be – stress free. Elderly pets, special requests, medications, or exotics? No problem! With a background in Integrative Animal Biology, certification in animal CPR, and veterinary assisting experience – accommodations are a breeze! With photo, video and text updates I’ll be your pets voice while you’re away so that you know they are just as safe and happy as they are with you! There are no “ruff” days when booking with me - so book now and book fast because the good times with great care fill up fast! Note for exotics and special needs pets: I am happy to make accommodations to meet the needs for any dog, cat, small animal, or other exotic! For exotic pets or pets who have special needs – please let me know in advance what animals you have and what their care requirements are so that we can make plans and adjust pricing accordingly! Please note for house sittings we that I am currently working 7 days a week. I am able to spend mornings up until 11-12 caring for you pet, and can accommodate 1-2 drop-ins during the daytime if necessary. Specific times can be worked out before booking or during the meet and greet!

My dogs boarded for a long weekend. Katherine was so kind to my dogs. They are old and need a little extra help. She was welcoming and accommodated their special needs. She responds quickly. I received daily pictures and updates. I would board them with Katherine again.

Katherine and Michael are simply awesome. It’s our first time leaving my doggy, came back home to a happy dog after a long trip. While we are away there is a hurricane and they even took good care of the house. They made my Dog feel so comfortable.

Always great! Always prompt and communicative. Love that you try to send pics, it’s obvious the pups are having a great time and won’t sit still for them :-)

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pets, I like to get an idea of their daily routines so that I can do my best to keep them safe and happy. Daily updates will be delivered in the form of texts, photos and videos so you can see just how much fun your pets are having! At this time we do require dogs to be crate trained in order to give them a safe and comfortable space to sleep if we need to step out of the house. Cats will have their own private residence when other animals are in the house so that they are safe and entertained! We do accept booking requests for all animals - dogs, cats, small pets and exotics. We have a 3 bedroom home so that we are able to keep everyone safe and separated when we have a full house!

Information Katherine R. would like to know about your pet

I need to be aware of anything your dog/cat does not like - things that scare them or that may make them act out/aggressive so that we can be sure not to upset them. If you’d like your pet to be bathed I would like to know a little bit about how they behave during bath time, I know personally our dogs do not like baths, so anything I can do to keep them comfortable and happy is great. I also need to know about any medications and how they are administered, plus a general idea of your daily routines.

A typical day

I love spending time getting to know how your pets love to play and be petted. If treats are provided we enjoy working on different cues with dogs (sit, stay, etc.) and playing with all their favorite toys indoors and outdoors
