Hi friends! Living in Sedona,AZ from November2023 - March 2024. I live in Washington state for the majority of the year but return to Sedona each winter to spend time with my family as my parents and sisters family all live here full time. Please ignore info below as this is my Washington state residence. Moved to Trout Lake,WA and am available for dog sitting once again! The property is used for cattle, farming, weddings and so much more during the spring, summer, and fall months. The property is a pup oasis as there are endless trail systems all around for us to adventure on! I am available to meet in Husum or potentially White Salmon for pup pick up. I look forward to hearing from you! References available upon request. Blessings, Katherine I have been taking a small break from pet sitting due to school and farming but am back at it! All animals (especially dogs) hold an extremely special place in my heart. Over the last five years I have worked with almost fifty different dogs ranging in a variety of age, breed, temperament, and size. I live on a 10 acre farm so there is plenty of room for your pup to exercise and play. I do have a small pup of my own who is sweet as pie. There is also an older dog, a friendly cat-dog, and chickens that live on the property during these winter months. I am a music-loving farmer with a passion for the outdoors and living life in a state of ease and joy.

Ratings and reviews
Katherine is an EXCELLENT sitter, and I cannot say enough great things about her and the care she gave to my pet! She is an experienced dog sitter who was very flexible with my schedule and responsive with plenty of puppy updates! I have never left my dog, Kelly, with a pet sitter that wasn't a close friend or family member before, so I was a little nervous to leave her with a new sitter in a new town at first. As soon as I met Katherine, all of my anxiety went away!! She was super kind, friendly, and welcoming towards me, and she was very clearly an experienced pet sitter who knew her stuff! Kelly got cozy in the house pretty quickly on drop-off, and I knew she would be comfortable staying at Katherine's for a couple of days! She made sure to send me Kelly updates with photos, and even kept an extra close eye on Kelly when she got sick during her first night in the house. When some seriously bad weather in Texas led to a series of flight cancellations, Katherine was flexible with her schedule and took in Kelly for four days more than originally planned. She didn't even hesitate to say yes when I'd ask if Kelly could continue to stay! On pick-up, Kelly seemed like she was ready to be a permanent roommate on the farm! She was definitely well taken care of and seemed comfortable and happy in Katherine's care. Katherine took such great care of Kelly, and I really couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I would 100% book Katherine as a sitter in the future! THANK YOU!
Katherine was a terrific dog sitter! My two, high-energy Jack Russells had a great time with her and came back completely exhausted. Will definitely book with her again! A+!
Katherine was super cool and took great care of my dog for a day!
Katherine was an amazing puppy sitter and truly treated my pup like her own.
Katherine was SO great!! She has a dreamy property & we could tell our little guy had a fantastic time -- & was ready for a big nap on the drive home. Planning our next trip to Hood River just so we can book her again :)
This was the first time I have ever left my dog with anyone other than my parents, and I was having some dog mom anxiety about leaving him behind - Katherine seriously put all my worrying away and was the best with my dog! He can be a lot to handle and has some separation issues but she was great with making him comfortable and keeping me updated about how he was doing. She is great with dogs and just generally a wonderful human and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Schedule
My week schedule is currently quite flexible. This will allow me the proper amount of time to spend with your beloved animals. If your pet is physically capable I would love the opportunity to take them on some outdoor adventures with me as well.

Safety, trust & environment
When a new animal stays in my home I am sure to treat them just as they are part of the family. I encourage them to make themself as comfortable as possible. Lots of head pats and lovings included.
Pets
A typical day
Walks will always be included if the dog is physically able. I am very passionate about mentally and physically engaging the dog in activities. I feel it is important to remind the dog that they have a purpose and make them feel a sense of responsibility. By giving the physical attention and mental stimulation they feel that sense of purpose. The great outdoors is very therapeutic for both humans and animals. We will likely be walking and working on the property. If it is too cold your pup will stay inside where it is warm and toasty.
