Pet care experience
I have experience with young dogs, seniors, rescues and differently abled doggos for over 20 years. From walking weekly to living with three for a week, I’ve done it all. Have great recommendations if you would like!
Reviews
Katherine stayed at our home and cared for our two dogs and one cat for a week while we were out of town. Her communication before our trip and during our trip was fantastic. Her maturity, professionalism, and knowledge of animals was very reassuring to us. She took great care of our four-legged babies, sending lots of pictures, and left the house in perfect shape! I highly recommend Katherine and we will definitely book with her again!
Katherine was very good with Remy and took a lot of pictures for me while I was out of town. I will be a repeat customer in the future.
Kat is one of the most loving and caring humans I know, especially to animals! I have known Kat for over ten years now, and she has always been a supportive friend. She has helped my husband and I when we've needed someone to watch our home and dogs (we have two pit mixes) for us. Kat has always shown love for our boys (that's how we refer to our dogs!) and treats them as if they are her own. Our boys, especially one, struggles with other dogs. I have never been concerned with Kat taking them for walks, as she knows how to keep our dogs and others' dogs safe. She leads with love, always. She will be a fantastic pet owner herself!
Kat is incredibly caring and attentive to animals’ needs! She treats pets like her own and is so great with dogs of all kinds! I would HIGHLY recommend Kat to help with your dog!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a small fenced yard and a very friendly neighbor dog who would be happy to play. Live close to several wooded areas with big paths for walks and a dog park as well as a car for transport to fun places (beach, hike, dog parks, etc.). I enjoy walking places like Colchester Pond, Centennial Park, Gilbrook Natural Area and Sunny Hollow Trails, all places I would bring your pup (if comfortable with you!).
Information Katherine W. would like to know about your pet
I will be asking A LOT about your dog. Some examples are: what does your dog(s) need to feel comfortable? How do they interact with other dogs? Handle meeting people? Do they have any triggers to be thoughtful of? What habits do they have (how will I know if they are stressed, how will I know if they are content, etc.)? Any medicine(s) or health issues to be informed about? And whatever you think is most important for me to know!
A typical day
Depending on your pooch and their temperament the days look different. What I know to be important for dogs to be happy is playing, exercise, mental stimulation, safety and love! (and food of course!!)
