Pet care experience

I've had pets since I was 10 years old, including cats and dogs. I have often been called on to care for neighbor's and family member's cats, dogs, and bunnies. We welcome them all like they are our own, although I personally take all responsibility for care of visiting pets. We lost our beloved pit bull in 2022, but having a new baby has kept us from adopting again just yet. Right now the middle ground of pet-sitting is perfect in the meantime. I try my best to stick to your pet's schedule when they're home with you, with walks at the same times as they're accustomed to. I'm also very happy to accommodate just your pet(s) at a time! Safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I never want you to worry that your pet isn't getting along with another animal.

Katherine was great with my cats while I was away for two days. She kept me well informed about how they were eating, their well-being, etc. She also sent me lots of great photos of them! Especially important is that Katherine spent quality time with the cats in addition to caring for their needs. Katherine will certainly be highly recommended to my family and friends.

I can't say enough about Katherine. She is a great dog sitter and very responsive. Chase loves her and I feel very assured that he is being taken care of and he is a happy doggy!!! I highly recommend Katherine for any of your pet sitting needs. Plan ahead she is loved by many :).

Katherine was great with our pups! She followed our instructions, and gave great details in the report on Maya and Jax's status. She was very attentive and managed our pups very well. We will definitely have more visits with her!

I love animals and I've always let our furry visitors on the couch and bed with us (if that's what they're accustomed to). They truly become part of the family during their visits! We spend lots of time outside and everyone in the house shows them affection. We can also crate dogs if requested.

Information Katherine S. would like to know about your pet

It's very important that dogs are comfortable around children, as I have 2! One is a toddler and the other is 10. They both LOVE dogs and will want to play with and snuggle your pups. I will supervise all interactions though to ensure no one is feeling uncomfortable.

A typical day

We have a great yard with lots of dog toys for those who like to fetch! We also have a 2 mile trail that we use on a daily basis for walks.
