Your dog(s) will have a blast!
Pet care experience
I am currently a Vet Tech student at RCTC. I am a huge animal lover and plan to extend my schooling into zoology down the line. I've worked in a kennel and have dealt with many different breeds and personalities. I've also owned dogs my entire life and consider them family members. I have a ten year old daughter who is just as crazy about dogs as I am and loves to take them on walks or run around outside with them. We're very active and love anything outdoors. I am usually t he go-to friend when anyone needs someone to watch their pets and absolutely love doing it 😊 ** As of recently I have been receiving a high volume of requests and am doing my best to respond to all of them. If I do not respond right away I apologize and will do so as soon as I am able to. ☺️
Reviews
We’ve used Katherine’s services many times now. She’s amazing and makes us feel very comfortable leaving our fur babies with her.
Our pup always has a great time and we’ll definitely keep going to Katherine whenever we need a sitter!
every time katherine watches my dogs I can trust that they are taken care of and will have a great time. she's super accommodating and flexible. and she’s also amazing with hyper, or nervous dogs. absolutely recommend her!
My dogs have always had a BLAST with Katherine. She’s super accommodating and very quick with replies. I always know I can count on her to keep my dogs safe and having a good time.

Safety, trust & environment
My yard is completely fenced in with ample room for high energy dogs with a flat terrain. Any outside time is supervised in case of potential fights or hole diggers. If I feel as though some dogs are playing too rough I use spray bottles to break up any altercations. Most dogs can be very territorial over toys so I tend to keep them put away to avoid incidents between dogs. I also will split dogs up into different rooms during feeding to prevent altercations as well as dogs eating other dogs food. I have the ability to treat small cuts or scrapes if they do occur. If I feel as though a dog is sick, too aggressive, too destructive or overly reactive I will decline current or future services not only for the safety of the other dogs but for that dog as well. If I am absent from the home than my father will supervise the dogs until I return. Of there is no one to stay at the house then they are separated into their individual kennels or rooms to prevent any incidents between dogs. With new dogs a new environment can be stressful and scary for them. I will do what I can to make them as comfortable as possible. With new people and new surroundings please don't be concerned if your pet did not eat all their food or play as much as this is common behavior and most tend to become more acclimated after a few visits or stays.

Dogs MUST be up to date on a vaccinations. No exceptions. If your pup has any restrictions or health concerns please let me know right away so I can properly accommodate them.
A typical day
I love going to state parks with the dogs and hiking. If we don't make it out to a park I have plenty of different routes in my neighborhood to walk. I also highly enjoy running and love bringing a companion with. If we aren't out walking/running/hiking then we are in the backyard throwing the ball and playing ?
