Pet care experience

WFH Creative Couple 🐶💙

As recent empty nesters (we lost our senior pup Charlie🐾 in 2024 to old age) we look forward to providing a loving and calm home for your pup to land while you are away. My husband and I work freelance in advertising and I am also a part-time librarian. We have started pet sitting to add back some joy to our quieter days. We enjoy a good couch potato for company while we send emails, but we also would love a companion for our daily walks on our quiet dirt road! We have cozy beds waiting in every room, including the premo spots- in front of the fireplace and access to all the people-couches - so your pup will always be comfortable as they inevitably follow us around the house in your absence. We have experience with managing modified diets as well as administering oral medications, please feel free to share any special needs or rituals your pet may have.

Great experience leaving our pups with Kat & Will!! They were positive, caring & went the extra mile with our dogs. We are sure to use them for future events.

Kat and Will were absolutely wonderful with our small but energetic dog. He had a proper doggy vacay in their gorgeous home. Absolutely no hesitation to recommend them to anyone. Thanks both!

Katherine did an amazing job looking after our two pups. She was really communicative and very kind. I especially appreciated the updates and pictures. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!

Katherine has been a sitter for my little Ralphie for over three years now. She has taken him for both short weekends and week long trips. Her house is large, practically baby-proofed, and pet friendly with LOTS of room to play. Ralphie is quite an anxious dog and I don’t like leaving him with just anyone —he tends to get sick when mom/dad are away. However, he LOVES staying at Katherine’s house. She and her husband work from home and are able to spend lots of time with him. Ralphie always comes home tired and happy.

Schedule

Our WFH lifestyle means that we can accommodate any needs your pet may have. If your dog has a specific midday potty break followed by couch time, we can make it happen. Does your dog need a song sung before they will eat their breakfast? No problem. Can they only lay down for bed with a specific plushy and their blanket freshly folded? We've been there. Please let us know about your friend's quirks so that we can do our best to fill in for you while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a spacious clean house that your pet will have access to with a variety of dog beds and toys for their stay. Please feel free to provide a crate if your dog prefers, we have room! If sitting in your home we will be mindful of house rules and make sure to maintain consistency for your pet so they feel secure while you're away.

A typical day

A typical day at our house includes an easy morning of coffee and early morning potty break, followed by breakfast for both humans and pups! If the weather is nice we will head out for a short walk before getting started on some work in our at home office space. Throughout the day we take frequent breaks outside and enjoy preparing the occasional enrichment snack. On rainy days we have enough space inside to play catch with smaller dogs, or hide and seek treats with the bigger ones. After dinner time we sometimes indulge in a movie or some coach co-op video games before a final potty break and bed time.

Please let us know about your dogs quirks and special requests. Our pup needed a shake of cheese on his food and a special song and dance after he finished, so we get it! If your dog has any nervous habits we should look out for we'll be on alert, just let us know!
