I’m a student at northern Michigan with classes during the day, but I have breaks between them where I can stop by and give your pets some love! I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or just hanging out, so whether your pet needs a little attention during the day or some extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dog. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, clean, and stress-free environment at all times. I offer a range of services including walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. Whether your pup needs an adventurous walk, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m committed to creating a comfortable, fun, and loving experience for them!

Information Katherine S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as I can to make sure they feel comfortable and safe! It’s helpful to know about their usual routines, energy levels, favorite activities, and any quirks or habits they have. Please let me know if they have any medical needs, allergies, special diets, or behavioral triggers (like nervousness around other dogs or loud noises). I also like to know how they walk on a leash, their recall skills, and how they typically react to new environments or people. The more I know about your pet’s personality and needs, the better I can tailor their care to keep them happy and stress-free!

A typical day

Every day with your pet is filled with fun, care, and attention! Depending on your dog’s energy level and personality, we might start the day with a nice walk around the neighborhood or even a hike on a local trail. I love keeping dogs active and engaged, so we’ll enjoy plenty of playtime — whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just running around in the yard. For pups who love mental stimulation, I’ll introduce games, mini obstacle courses, or basic training sessions to keep their minds sharp. Of course, there’s also plenty of time for cuddles, belly rubs, and relaxation breaks to make sure they feel loved and safe throughout the day. My goal is to create a balance of exercise, fun, and comfort tailored to each pet’s needs!

Pet care experience

I absolutely love all pets and treat every dog like they’re my own — I know firsthand how much they mean in our lives. I’ve got two dogs myself, a little puppy and a 50lb 6-year-old, so I totally get how different personalities and energy levels work. I’m also really into hiking and outdoor adventures, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and fun! Whether they’re full of energy or just want to chill and cuddle, I’ll make sure every visit is tailored to their needs and that they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Katherine helped my cat during a last-minute work trip and couldn't have been better or more responsive! Highly recommend.
