Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own homes only. I do not provide boarding services in my home at this time. Thank you so much!

Information Katherine W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or dietary restrictions and I will certainly adhere to them. Sticking to a routine can be very important for certain pets and I am happy to adjust to theirs.

A typical day

Activities always depend on the pet! Some pups like to go for endless walks and others want to play fetch. Some just want cuddles on the couch! It’s all about your pets personal preferences, comfort and safety.

Pet care experience

I have had pets all my life, I have house, pet and plant sat for 18 years now. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats. Medications are no problem. I enjoy walks just as much as the dogs!

Katherine was great. She kept in touch, sent us pics and our pets were very happy.

Katherine was terrific! We needed a weekend sitter for our three high-maintenance pups, and Katherine made it a worry-free stay. She was communicative, punctual, and very responsive, and sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend. It was clear that the dogs were comfortable and enjoying her company! We returned home to a well-cared for house and three happy dogs. 🐾 I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Katherine again in the future!

Katherine went above and beyond when house sitting while I went on a vacation! During the trip, I received daily check-ins with photos of the pets, and she was very responsive as well as respectful of all our preferences. When we returned, our pets were happy and our house was spotless. Katherine provided priceless peace of mind that the home and babies were safe while I was traveling, and I would absolutely book her services again next time I leave town. Thank you, Katherine! I can't recommend you highly enough!

Katherine was great! She did a wonderful job watching over our house and our dog Brandy. She walked her everyday, dealt with a failing air conditioner in the heat, and sent numerous pictures. She was responsible, friendly and reliable. Thank you Katherine!
