Certified vet assistant & rescuer

Pet care experience

I graduated high school with vet assistant certificate, spent 3 years rescuing and helping dogs get adopted. I put my entire child hood years into helping strays and volunteering at different adoption events. My first job was in a dog shelter and then I later worked at a vet clinic. I am knowledgable in adminstering medication. I have grown up with dogs and have such a love and understanding for them. I have always taken care of my friends dogs and family members dogs while on vacation. I am patient and can work with your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your dog with as much love, consideration, and patience as I treat my dog; who to me is more than just a pet. My dog is my world so your pet will be taken care of with a lot of love.

Katherine was really great with my dog Charlie. When he was nervous at first to be in a new place she made him comfortable and made sure he ate even when she had to hand feed him. She sent us constant text and photo updates and even a video. I highly recommend Katherine and would use her next time we need a sitter!

Katherine did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs. When we had flight problems she adapted to our schedule and really helped us out. I highly recommend her and will use her again.

Katherine was an amazing dog sitter! She watched our pups over the holiday and kept us informed every day! I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone and I’m sure we will be using her again!

I don't know who loves Katherine more, me or Bentley!! : ) she was so sweet and able to accommodate my fur baby super last min while I went home for the holidays. She sent me pictures and he had such a good time with her & her dog. I'll definitely be re-booking! You can be assured your baby is in good hands with Katherine!

Information Katherine R. would like to know about your pet

If the dog has any special needs, treats, or toys. If there's anything I can do to make the stay for your dog more enjoyable.

A typical day

I work less than a block away and can go home during my hour breaks. I am there in the mornings and my husband is there at night, so there is always someone home for potty breaks and affection, the potty breaks can be a walk around the neighborhood or for senior dogs there is a big patch of grass behind my apartment. I have a 7 year old dachshund mix at home who is trained and can also be separated during your pets stay. Your pet can have free roam in the living room area with many toys to play with and is more than welcomed on the furniture. If you'd like I can do baths before pick up.
