Hi, I’m Katherine! Thanks for viewing my page. “What is my experience?” I’ve been caring for dogs since I was five, starting with feeding and taking care of my family’s puppy at the time (I wish this were still my only chore!). Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages — from newborn puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. I’ve also had experience with various dog breeds, large and small, through my time at a grooming salon and through my time on Rover. No dog is too big, small, or special for me to care for! “How will I ensure comfort and safety?” I treat every dog like family. Whether it’s a relaxing walk or playful time at home, I make sure your pup is comfortable, happy, and engaged. I adjust my approach based on the dog’s needs — whether they require snuggles, energy, or a calm routine. Safety is my priority, and I always keep a close eye on them to ensure they’re happy and stress free. I’ll also keep you informed with messages and pictures on our latest whereabouts as frequently (or infrequently) as desired. “What makes me unique from other dog sitters or walkers?” What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for animals. I founded two separate nonprofit organizations at ages 8 and 10 to support local animal shelters, raising funds through hard earned dog walking and baking homemade treats and biscuits. I also worked at a grooming salon where I learned the ins and outs of dog care. My genuine love for dogs drives me to go above and beyond, and I bring this energy to every dog I meet. As someone who works in a customer-facing role full time, I also enjoy building relationships with the parents and letting them know who is taking care of their four-legged friend. Let’s connect — I’d love to be your pup’s new second best friend! 🐾
