Pet care experience

your dog’s new best friend

I have owned dogs all of my life and volunteered with various animal rescues. I have cared for diabetic dogs and dogs with other special needs. I love every dog I meet and will treat your dog as my own. It will be showered with love and belly rubs. I would love the opportunity to pamper and love your dog as my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat the dogs I sit as I would my own. We start our day with a morning walk before breakfast and play time. I am normally home by 4:30 and spend most evenings relaxing at home.

Katherine is so wonderful and patient with my anxious dog. Saylor looks forward to seeing her every time! So happy to have connected with her. Excellent care!

Katherine was wonderful with my nervous/anxious dog. She knew how to calmly greet her and gradually make friends. Saylor is not high maintenance but she’s slow to warm up to knew people. Katherine handled it like a pro and took great care of my girl.

Katherine did an excellent job. My dog has a lot of puppy energy. She kept him busy and entertained and loved!

Katherine did an awesome job!! Even when the cats (Moxey) were acting out, she had it covered. I would be very happy to have Katherine watch the cats again.
