Sweet and Loving Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

Who Am I?: Hi I'm Kat! I have owned pets pretty much my whole life. I see pets as children and treat my own pets as such. I feel that I would be a great pet sitter, for your little ones, because of my life experience as a pet owner and because I am truly a caring person. I also have volunteer experience, working with sheltered animals. I will be a patient, warm, and caring sitter to your kids with tails! Dog Sitting: I live with others, therefore I can only sit, if its in your home. I do have a Mon-Friday, 9am-5pm job, no late nights, ever! I also have off on Fridays, in the summer. It is best for me to sit for pets who are accustomed to being home alone during the day. I will be able to provide a walk in the morning before leaving for work, a walk in the early evening, when I get back from work, and one more walk before bedtime. And if the visit falls on the weekend, I will be with your pets pretty much all day and night. If your dog is house trained, then we can take less walks, it all depends on his/her needs. I prefer to sit for clients who live in the Queens area, which is where I live. I might be able to make some exceptions for some areas in Brooklyn (Williamsburg), if your time away is only for a weekend (Friday-Sunday). Just ask! We can do a meet and greet with your pet in a public place, like a dog friendly park or I can go to your home. During this time we can see how comfortable your pet is with me. Drop-In Visits: I may be able to provide Drop-In Visits if they fall on the weekends or if they are after 5pm on the weekdays. Just Ask! Dog Walking: If you are just looking for someone to walk your dog, between Monday-Friday, in the early evenings, say between 6:00pm-6:30pm, I can do this as well, depending on my schedule, just ask. I might also be available on weekends, during the day and evening, again just ask. I am not looking to be a steady dog walker, however if my schedule is free and you need someone to walk your dog, last minute, I might be able to help you out, as long as its after 5pm or on a weekend.

Katherine was great. A few days before we left, she came over to meet the ladies and pick up the keys. While we were gone, she sent pictures every day and kept our dogs fed, walked, and happy. Both dogs and people couldn't be more pleased. Katherine is a gem and a delight.

To whom it may concern, Katherine is an excellent dog sitter. She is sweet and very loving to my little girl Abby, (poodle). She takes great care of her and I always feel confident knowing that she is in good hands. She is on point with her feeding and treat times and makes sure to take Abby on her regular walks. I've never had an issue. Abby loves Katherine.. I would highly recommend her.

Information Katherine V. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog is taking any type of medication; I can administer meds, as long as I am given detailed instructions. I would like to know if your dog as any special quirks, like carrying his food bowl before dinner, sleeping with a special toy, or if he/she have any separation anxiety. Are there any special methods that you use to help calm your dog, if they do have anxiety? I would love to know if there are any special, in home games, he/she likes to play, do they have a special part of the belly they liked to be scratched or rubbed?

A typical day

I will be able to provide your dog a short walk in the mornings before work, a long walk in the evenings, once I get back from work, and one more short walk before bedtime. If I sit during the weekends, I can provide much longer walks, and if there are parks or dog runs in your area, that your dog is accustomed to, I would be more than happy to take him/her there. If your dog is a cuddler/kisser I can provide that type of affection as well. Nothing better than doggy kisses:-)
