Pet care experience

I'll hike,play and care foryour dog

I provide dog sitting at your home, or take them out for a walk/hike/run. I love dogs, cats and all animals in general. all Ages and size. I have had 20+ years of experience caring for animals! I had always believe since I was a child that I share a connection with these beautiful animals. I have always had dogs and in order to keep them I had to care for them and be responsible for them and in return they have always been loyal and loving. Not for nothing they are men's best friend :) I guarantee the well being of your pet. I respect animals, and I will make sure your pet feels (will be) safe with me and have a fantastic time :)

Katherine was very responsive and our two small dogs enjoyed their stay very much. We expect to be using her again several times this month.

Katherine was a great communicator and gave us daily updates on how things were going. They dogs loved her big window that they could sit in front of and all the walks. Although our dogs are almost always anxious from separation, they were completely at ease and relaxed when we picked them up. We will definitely use Katherine’s services again if we are in the area.

A typical day

I’m a very energized person, so taking the pack for outdoor activities, this includes our favorite recurring hiking trips is a guarantee. I also take them to the nearby dog park which is right in front of our apartment building. Whenever I take them out I’m always aware and cautious to the attitudes or danger that other dogs can posses to your loved one and myself, this being said, I will be very attentive and respectful towards our surroundings and monitor any signs of distress. And for the lovely puppies and for dogs that are not so outdoor friendly I offer constant potty breaks and indoor fun with dog-friendly chewing toys and soothing melodies that my boyfriend plays constantly. I’ve seen it relaxes them ;)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Takes only 1 client at a time
Katherine can host up to 2 pets per night
I would like to know if they are allergic to anything, need any special attention in particular or if they are sensitive to other dogs or/and have any aggressive tendencies. Which I have no problem with, given that I’ve cared for all types of personalities, however it will help me to better understand and adress the dog’s needs in a positive and effective way.
