Pet care experience

Your pet’s new favorite human

I truly love animals and have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have also spent years pet sitting and volunteering with dog rescues. When you’re away—whether for work or travel—I’ll make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I treat every animal like family and aim to become their favorite human (or at least their second favorite after you!). I’m reliable, honest, and trustworthy. Born and raised in Marin, I’m a mom of two humans and a 10-month-old boxer, and the proud aunt to a big rescue doodle and two cat brothers.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I have two humans and a boxer at home, I prefer to hang with your pets at your house. In addition to caring for your pets, I’ll also look after your home. I’ll keep things clean, bring in mail, and water plants.

Katherine hung out with my mini-schnauzer and a friend's lab for two hours last night and they clearly had lots of fun! Katherine is a very nice, caring and seasoned dog owner who we felt very comfortable leaving with our pups. She quickly picked up on the personalities of the dogs and followed home entry/leashing guidance perfectly. I would highly recommend Katherine for anyone looking for wise and trustworthy dog care!

I have left both my cat and dog with Katherine on several occasions. My animals love her and get so excited every time they see her. They are very well taken care of. She is responsive and extremely reliable keeping me updated with a few pictures throughout their stay. We love her!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or personality quirks, for instance some dogs don’t like to greet other dogs while on walks. This is information we can discuss at our meet and greet.
