Pets have feelings as well!

My name is Katherine nice to meet you and thank you for checking my page out! I have a degree in criminal justice and Justice and law administration with a minor in Criminology. I currently work from home and nanny/ dogsit on my days off. I have babysat for multiple families and with the family’s they also have some fur babies that I have come to be very close with! Anyways, while my stay with the dog/s or cat/s I do their proper routine as asked: food, water, medications, walks, playtime, sleeping there, check ins multiple times throughout the day, all depending on what the owner would like for me to do with them! I truly love what I do on the side. I love any fur baby and I see them just as humans with feelings. I have excellent references from my previous bosses from babysitting, dog sitting, housesitting, restaurants, and current job. I work from home with a flexible schedule which works perfect with being a dog sitter. Any time or day of the week works with me!

Ruby loved her time with Katherine. She’s a nervous bear but seemed to have totally relaxed during her days with her. Thank you for being so patient with her, especially in the elevator!

Katherine took great care of my pup Winnie! Winnie can be a bit nervous but Katherine made her feel right at home. She was very responsive and sent regular updates - would definitely recommend!

We are super happy with Katherine! She took care of our dog Maxi for a weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Maxi was well cared for and felt comfortable with her. Katherine is incredibly friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I can highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

I would definitely need to know if they have any needed accommodations: medications, feeding time, special needs, special requests of the owner to make sure they get the best out of myself :)
