Doggie care when you aren’t there

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Katherine. Throughout my lifetime I have handled and provided a loving home to all sorts of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, chameleons, sugar gliders, etc.). I have experience with maintaining pet health, facilitating exercise, and taking care of doggies of my own. Further, I have personal transportation available, if necessary. I am fairly flexible with my schedule since I work part time. Unfortunately, I recently had to put down my 16 year old dog, so I certainly realize pets are more then just animals. They're family. Animals aside, I have 10 years of paid work experience as a lifeguard, paralegal, pediatric dental assistant, babysitter, parapro, substitute teacher, and custodian. I currently don’t have any pets at the moment. I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work around your needs. I’m also happy to keep you updated as to how your pup is doing. Please feel free to contact me as I look forward to working with you and your fur baby!

Katherine was wonderful when staying at our house and watching our dogs when we were away for 1-1/2 weeks! We are super anxious dog parents but she did a great job sending us pictures and always being open to communicate with us! We returned to a clean house and 2 happy pups! We would definitely use Katherine again in the future.

Kat is AMAZING. We’ve used her a few times to walk our dogs and for an overnight stay. Our two dogs are not the easiest dogs. One has trouble warming up to strangers and the other has anxiety. Kat is able to put both dogs at ease. She is friendly, reliable, and most importantly we know our fur-babies are in good hands! We would highly recommend Kat to anyone!

Information Katherine R. would like to know about your pet

Before dog sitting, I would like to know if your dog has any medical issues (do they need meds administered, is she in heat, etc) , what their temperament/behavior is like (are they aggressive to people, children or other dogs), and if they have any special dietary instructions (can they have treats, what times do they need to be fed at, etc). I do not have any specific breed preferences.

A typical day

Depending on where you prefer, I like to go to these parks for walks, playing fetch, etc.: -Franklin Park -Emil Kissel Park -Chesterly Park - Randall Dog Park I’m also willing to take them on nearby hikes too depending on their age and activity level to enjoy some fresh air if you prefer.
