Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet. With my background working in an animal clinic, I’m confident handling different temperaments and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and exercise. I adjust my approach based on each pet’s personality and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
Information Katherine T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet’s routine, energy level, and any special needs, including medications, feeding schedules, or behavioral quirks. I like to know triggers (like other dogs, noises, or separation anxiety), training commands they respond to, and anything that helps them feel safe. The more detail you provide, the better I can match their routine and make the experience smooth, safe, and stress free.
A typical day
A typical day is structured around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. We’ll start with feeding, potty breaks, and a walk or play session to burn energy. Throughout the day, I provide mental stimulation with games, enrichment, and attention, along with plenty of check ins, cuddles, and rest time. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and overall mood to make sure everything stays normal and consistent.

Skilled Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’ve had animals my entire life and have a technical certificate as a veterinary assistant. I worked in an animal clinic in Brooklyn for 2 years, where I gained hands on experience with animal care, handling, and health monitoring. I’ve also spent 3 years dog walking, caring for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, exercised, and well cared for while their owners are away.
Cat care experience
Katherine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Katherine was above and beyond my wildest expectations! I had never left my kittens with a stranger before and was super nervous. She did a meet and greet, sent me regualr updates (and the cutest pics), and made sure my girls were the number one priority. My kittens definitely fell in love with her and her daughter over the course of the week. I can't imagine a better sitter!
Katherine is really great. Kasper always looked forward to his walk with her. She was also able to improve some bad habits he had while walking, which is amazing. Thank you so much, Katherine.
Katherine was very communicative and attentive to my dog and cat. She clearly loves animals and they seemed well taken care of.
Katherine was amazing, especially with my senior dog! She gave him his medication at the correct time, took him on lots of walks, and dealt with his separation anxiety well. I could tell she really cared and that they both enjoyed each other's company. She sent tons of cute pictures! She also did a great job of feeding my cat, who predictably decided to hide every time Katherine visited. But she wasn't alarmed by the lack of cat sightings and just reported on her feedings and how much food she had eaten between visits. I would definitely hire Katherine to petsit again! She was great!
