About Katherine R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I know it’s an act of extreme trust to have another person interact with your fur babies and I take that responsibility extremely seriously!! Whether in your home, my home, or just walking around the neighborhood, I promise to pay attention to, care for, and love your pets like they are my own!

Information Katherine R. would like to know about your pet
I like to know what their daily routine is, even if I’m only going to be part of it—is it typical for them to poop in the morning, and is it a problem if they don’t? Also if they have special needs or if you have something you really hope I can accomplish for them, whether that be rest when they need it after a long, exciting weekend of camping, or if they’ll need to run hard today because it’ll be bitterly cold for the next few days—mainly, communication is great!!
A typical day
I live near a small park as well as the extensive back cove trail, both of which are some of my favorite places to walk myself! I also love taking high energy dogs to the beach to play in the water and run some energy off. Not every dog needs to run every day, but for those that do, I love throwing a ball around and encouraging them to sprint to their hearts content at an off leash spot!

dogs love walk nearly as much as me
Pet care experience
I take myself out for walks anyway, dogs are just amazing company! I'm excited to get your dogs moving outside in a safe way that burns off some energy and allows exploration! I love being outdoors in any weather condition. Being away from home, I dearly miss my own dog, so spending quality time with some of the best creatures in the world is an amazing added bonus. I’m available weekdays before 11:30, and any time on weekends!
Cat care experience
Katherine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Katherine has frequently cared for my dog-- she's attentive to my dog's behavior and needs, including playing with her, teaching her new tricks, and noticing if she's acting different than usual. She is flexible and adept at all sorts of walk situations, from on leash neighborhood strolls to dog parks to off leash zones. She's highly trustworthy and will love your pet!
