Experience with Pups and Cats!

Pet care experience

I grew up with my grandmother who is a Yorkshire Terrier breeder. Over the course of 6 years, I have acquired training and experience in caring for dogs of all ages and various disabilities. I have assisted birth, bottle fed puppies, took temperature, and taught many puppies simple commands such as sitting and waiting. I also have experience with older dogs who have lost vision or missing teeth that needs extra attention and assistance. Although my experience is mainly with smaller dogs, I work out at the gym and have confidence in handling bigger dogs if needed. I will keep your doggie out of danger and in safe hands while giving him/her the needed attention and exercise to maintain a healthy life. As a college student, I hope my flexible schedule will be of help to you and your pup.

Katherine is extremely talented and caring. She demonstrated the upmost patience with our puppy who is shy and anxious. She’s been informative and transparent on all updates with our dog. Would definitely recommend her for any service.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a spacious home that your pet is welcome to lounge around and a large yard to run around in. Since we have a Shiba Inu who are known to be escape artists, we have fully fenced and secured the yard. The neighborhood is also very nice and quiet to take walks in. I will mainly follow any specific instructions or lifestyle you and your pet may already have to reduce the stress of separation and change in environment. If there's any uncertainty, I will contact you to make sure. Otherwise, I will take care of your pet as I do my own; with love and smooches!

I currently attend school, so I am mostly studying at home while commuting to class on the weekdays. The most I am gone for is about 4-5 hours. I have a rather flexible schedule and a partner that works hybrid (office 3 times a week, remote 2 times a week). So, I am able to accommodate to the usual schedule for your pet (e.g. always takes a walk at 7am).
