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.

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.

Katherine took excellent care of my old girl Jetta. She kept me updated on Jetta daily and sent pictures. Jetta was a happy girl when she came home! I would definitely use Katherine again
