Your pet's new best friend

Pet care experience

I'm a lifelong animal owner and lover - both large breeds and small or with fur, scales and feathers. My live-in partner is the manager of a veterinary clinic and I have an extensive history of working at pet stores, trainers and groomers. I offer a uniquely loving environment for pets of any size or special needs. Pets in my care are spoiled with physical affection and words of praise, treats when permitted by their owners and rarely spend time out of my sight. Long walks and playtime with my cattle dog and chihuahua wear out most dogs in no time. Unless specifically requested by their owners, dogs in my care are never crated for extended periods or locked inside without access to a fenced patio.

Katherine was amazing! Our pup was so tired he got home because of all the walks and activities!

My baby Red absolutely had the time of her life! She had so much fun hanging out with Katherine’s other two dogs! Katherine does send videos and pictures so it feels better leaving your baby in her hands!

Katherine was amazing! I completely trusted her with my babies and she did such a great job making them feel safe and loved while I was out of town. I would absolutely use her again! She’s such a sweetheart!

Information Katherine T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral quirks that should be accounted for. I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes, as well as with anxious and fearful pups who need an extra patient touch.

A typical day

My dogs love visiting the beach, playing with their brain puzzles, and a good game of tug or fetch. I cater my attention to your dogs' needs, but anything from strenuous hiking in the Santa Barbara hills to a long snuggle session is on the table, depending on your preference and theirs.
