Pet care experience
Full-time Sitter & your pet's BFF💗
I live in LoDo Denver with my two friendly pups Daisy and Phoenix! I've been around animals my whole life and spending time with them has always been something that makes me genuinely happy! You can be sure your baby will have my undivided attention while you are away, and I will love them like my own! I'm a trained veterinary technician and have extensive experience working in animal shelters and clinics. I've spent a lot of time with rescues and had two of my own, so I'm very comfortable with pets who need a little extra patience or have unique personalities! I also grew up with birds and bunnies, so I'm happy to care for animals beyond just dogs and cats. *** Housesitting Requests: I’m unfortunately not able to offer full-time or overnight housesitting. My rates are for daytime care at your place or multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. The safety and comfort of your pet is my number one priority. If your dog has tons of energy, we can do walks, trips to the lake or dog park, or just get plenty of playtime in. My building even has a small dog park, so they’ll have the chance to run around and socialize (if you’re cool with that). And if your pet is more laid-back, I’m always happy to hang out, cuddle, and keep them company. I can also provide basic grooming. I'll update you with photos multiple times a day to let you know how your furry friend is doing. I take my job as a sitter seriously and will be here to answer any kind of questions you might have! I am trained in pet first aid/CPR and providing a fear free environment for your furbaby. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes and temperaments. There is nothing I can't handle! Accidents, weird quirks, extra special food instructions, etc.. been there, done that! I am also experienced in administering medication and take this very seriously, so you can be at ease that your baby is always getting their meds! Whether it's pills, liquids or injections like insulin. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I want to make sure you know your baby is in THE BEST hands possible!

The best! The dogs had the best day!!
Katherine was great with our dog. She gave several updates and we would definitely use her again.
First time using Katherine and she was great! She gave us lots of updates with pictures. We felt like Cooper was being well taken care of and had lots of fun with her dogs. She even picked him up and dropped him off for us which was incredibly helpful with our travel situation. Thank you so much!
Katherine is a wonderful sitter for my cat. He got very comfortable with her, very quickly.
Katherine is a very good pet sitter. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. MY cat warmed up to her very quickly and I loved seeing the pictures of her visits.
She was amazing, she went above and beyond!

Schedule
Please be mindful that I rent, so I’m only able to watch dogs who are housebroken. I totally understand that accidents happen (especially with puppies - I watch them often and that’s no problem at all). But if your dog has a known marking habit or frequent indoor accidents please let me know prior!

Safety, trust & environment
I follow my client's instructions and wishes carefully. Let me know what you feel comfortable with. I find it to be the most important thing for your pet to feel safe and comfortable around me, and the best way to do so is by knowing and meeting their needs and respecting their boundaries. Your pets' safety and wellbeing will always be my main priority.

A typical day
Hikes, trails, dog parks, lakes, play dates, lounging on the couch, playing fetch, trips to the store to pick out a new toy and lots and lots of cuddles and kisses!
