Pets have feelings as well!

Pet care experience

My name is Katherine. I am fully vaccinated + booster. Anyways! I have my associates in criminal justice and a recent grad with a bachelors of Justice and law administration with a minor in Criminology. I have 2 dogs myself they are now 11 and 12 years old. I am currently work for a domestic violence agency and a nanny on my days off. I have babysitter/ Nanny/ dog sitter/ house sitter since I was 17. I have babysat for multiple families and with the family’s they also have some fur babies as well that I come to be very close with! while my stay with the dog/s, cat/s I do their proper routine food, water, medications, walks, playtime, sleeping there, coming over to check on him/ her multiple times throughout the day, all depending on what the owner would like for me to do with them! I truly don’t mind and love what I do on the side. As I mentioned 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/ walker/ house sitter/ stop by. Any time or day of the week. I have 2 dogs myself they are now 11 and 12 years old. I am currently a nanny, fur sitter, and a domestic violence advocate. I have been doing this since I was 17. I have babysat for multiple families and with these families they also have some fur babies as well that I have come to be very close with! while my stay with the dog/ dogs/ Cat. Etc. I continue to do their proper routine: food, water, medications, walks, play with them, sleeping at residents (if needed), coming over to check on him/ her multiple times throughout the day, all depending on what the owner would like for me to do with them! I truly don’t mind. As I mentioned I love dogs and I see them as humans with feelings as well and just another part of the family:)

Katherine did an amazing job taking care of my elderly cat while I was away for 8 days! Her kind and calm demeanor was great for Sporty, and she did a great job administering his medication. Katherine is friendly, flexible, and a great communicator. I will definitely be a repeat client!

Katherine was amazing watching our three pups and the house while we were on a recent trip. Excited to have found someone we can trust with our most-important fur babies!

Kat takes lovely care of our dog, and leaves our house very tidy. She always sends pictures and seems very on top of it!
