Ready to meet your fur babies!

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for animals since i could walk and doing so is a huge passion of mine. I love walking, running, playing, cuddling with my Dog and i can’t wait to meet yours! I am athletic, energetic, and therefore love going out on walks, runs. I’m dependable and honest, it’s only fair to allow people you can rely on around someone as important as a pet, especially into the privacy of your own home. I assure you great service and promise to treat others’ pets as if they were my very own. This is a huge responsibility which i know requires attentiveness. No Dog is too big, too small or too strong, As your walker will do my part while they are in my care. I look forward to meeting him or her!

My cat genuinely likes Katherine more than any other cat sitter I've had, she's great and knowing she that is checking in on my cat makes me feel so much better when I'm traveling.

Katherine went above and beyond watching my cat! My cat has a lot of energy and needs a lot of playing and attention, and Katherine was perfect.

Katherine was great. As a first time dog-mom, she put all my fears at ease by answering any questions I had and my pup had a great time! Will definitely be using Katherine in the future.

Katharine was so patient with me being a nervous puppy mom! She texted me at least once an hour to give me updates. I will definitely rebook with her!
