Fellow Dog Parent for Your Pup!

Pet care experience

Hi there fellow dog parent, I am a 29 year-old dog lover who will provide care and attention for your pet over the summer. As an evening graduate student about to take a board exam, I spend much of my day at home studying and have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 4 year-old Dachshund/Corgi who is the gentlest dog you will ever meet. Safety is a top priority for my clients, both human and canine. My family has had a number of Golden Retrievers over the years, from puppies to seniors, so I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages, special needs, and well-versed in the antics of lease-pullers, counter-surfers, and the like. Besides my personal care for dogs, I have been a dog sitter to numerous family members, neighbors, and friends in my own home as well as in theirs. Overnights include feedings, 2-3 walks, lots of belly rubs and crating if needed. I aim to make your dog's time away from you comfortable and full of attention. About my yard A large public lawn is nearby on my street. My experience administering medication Yes, most – please ask

It has been a godsend to find Katherine. She is trustworthy, attentive and sincere. Every time Ollie comes home I can tell he has been well taken care off. Katherine has been extremely patient with him while he has had some adjustment issues since he is a rescue dog.

Katherine was great! Having her own dog, she has a good sense of dog care. She was wonderful with my 10 y/o English Bulldog, sending pictures all through my time away. I came back to a healthy, happy pup that didn't seem to miss me at all. Would definitely recommend and hire again!

Katherine was flexible, kind, and great with OG! She sent us pictures while we were away, and even offered to stay a bit longer with OG while we were stuck in some traffic. Overall, I'm really lucky we found her!
