Pet care experience

Everything you need under one WOOF!

Hi there! I’m a 42-year-old dog mom to my sweet black lab, Gibson, who’s 8 years old and still thinks he’s a puppy. I’m also a proud mom to a 23-year-old son and just became a grandmother for the first time — it’s an exciting new chapter! Now that I’m an empty nester and work from home, I have the flexibility (and the quiet house!) to help other paw-ents with their dog sitting needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pup like family, and that’s exactly what I aim to do. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, playtime, or just keeping your dog’s routine on track, I’ve got you covered. Gibson loves having a canine buddy around, and I love spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. Your pup will get plenty of attention, affection, and care — just like my own. Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾

Katherine did a great job with my dog. She entertained him with walks and play. He was able to sleep on the furniture which made him happy. She sent frequent pictures and messages to let me know how he was doing. I would definitely use Katherine again!

Kat checked on our dogs while we were gone for 5 days! Rackett and Roxy(both mixed breed, larger dogs) love Kat. Per our agreement, she came twice a day to take care of our pups. She gave them food, fresh water, treats and lots of pets. We didn’t ask her to walk them since they are a handful on a lease. We have a large yard that they spend most of the sunny days in. She even changed the radio station so they didn’t have to listen to the same thing over and over again. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!

Kat has always been loving with my pets (I have some kitties) and I also know she is a great mom to her doggies <3
