Lover of all furry friends!
Pet care experience
I'm new to Rover.com, but I've been pet, house, and baby sitting since I was in middle school. I'm happy to get the mail, water plants, and do anything else to help out while you're out of town. I love all dogs, large and small, young and old. I also love cats, and I had a pet hedgehog for years who I loved dearly. My last regular petsitting gig was for an elderly dog who required meds and a few walks a day. She was the sweetest old pup! I work Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Friday/Saturday 8 a.m.-1 p.m. I’m happy to stay over any night and do walks, potty breaks, runs, etc. before and after work, and more frequently on Friday/Saturday afternoons and all day Sunday. My professional background is in education and social work. I’m a very caring person just looking to make some furry (or scaly if you have fish or reptiles) friends and a bit of extra money!
Reviews
I felt completely safe leaving our 2 labs and 2 guinea pigs in Katherine’s care, not to mention our home. She communicated often as to how the visit was going. I know she gave our pets plenty of love and care, as they were so relaxed when we arrived home. We highly recommend Katherine as a pet sitter.
Katherine Whalen is an OUTSTANDING pet-sitter. For several years, when she lived in our town, she took wonderful care of our cat (even taking him to her house for shelter during a tornado, and trekking through a heavy snow storm to check on him). I have known her since she was a tiny baby, and she is the daughter of a very good friend and colleague of mine. Her character is stellar and her caring touch for pets amazing. I would have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend her to others. She is a winner!
I am a dog trainer and often need respite care for my own pack. We have relied on Katherine's services off and on for nearly a decade, and would absolutely trust her in an instant with my pack as well as dogs in boarding/training. As a small business owner, it takes a lot of trust to put your reputation on the line like that knowing all the risks involved. Katherine is happy to follow any instructions you leave for the house, and is well-versed in different types of pet care. She is also willing to follow any training/handling protocols for the dogs, so they do not backslide when we are gone. We always have peace of mind when we leave our dogs with Katherine, and as a dog owner that means I can actually enjoy my vacation and not wonder what the dogs are doing. She is always promptly responsive to texts and phone calls, and sends several updates/pics every day. I wouldn't trust anyone else!
Great with cats, fish, dogs and even children, Katherine is responsible and provides the individualized care each of your pets will need as if they are her own.

Since I’m still pretty new to Richmond, I’m trying to explore parks in the area! I’d love to bring a dog with me for walks in the park! I’m also happy to do walks in your neighborhood if that’s more familiar for your pet.
