Your dog’s next best friend!

Hiii I’m Katherine Smith and I graduated from Virginia Tech now living and remote working in Arlington, VA. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your pet just like my own! I’ll make sure to give your dog lots of play time and love! I have done dog sitting for years and have had dogs my whole life so I have a lot of experience! (See last few pics of my family’s dog Charlie who I wish I could have in Arlington with me🥹)

Katherine did a wonderful job with Bodhi! She sent pictures and notes every day, took him on walks, and he was so happy when he got home! We would totally rebook!

Katherine truly cares about the pets she takes care of. When my family and I go on vacation Katherine watches and walks our dog Nick (a black lab). She always lets us know how he is doing and takes pictures so we can see he is doing well. She spends time play with him too.

Katherine was AMAZING with my dog Dewey. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and was an all around great caregiver for my pup. Would definitely give my dog back in her care.
