Pet care experience

Concierge Pet Care at your service

Dogs and cats naturally gravitate toward me. For the last six years I have had the opportunity to watch a wide variety of animals in various stages of life and states of health, including extensive experience with ailing pets. Unrivaled personalized attention. This is my full time job - I walk and sit pets and it is my job and my passion - I am fortunate to be in a situation where your pet is my number one priority. I give full service, concierge level care to all the pets I watch. I am diligent, attentive, and observant, keeping a close eye on your pet's well being and happiness at all times.

Lilly was happy to go back to stay with Kathrine for a week and I believe enjoyed her stay. Katherine dealt with Lilly’s quirks with no issues. We are so glad to have found a trusted dog sitter!

On her second visit with Katherine, Lilly was very happy to walk into the house and greet Katherine. She definitely feels comfortable with her!

A typical day

Your pet will never be bored with me - I give them all the attention they could need, lots of walks and play time. We can go up around Smyth Road School when school is not in session or up to Derryfield Park.

I have a lot of experience taking close care of pets of all ages and have no problem e.g. delivering medicine orally to dogs and cats, as long as I have a detailed schedule for their needs.
