Loving and experienced caretaker

Pet care experience

I have spent my life around animals, growing up on a horse farm and with many different animals in my childhood. As an adult, I spent my early 20s traveling around the world, living and working on farms and animal facilities, and providing house-sitting and animal care. I now have a quiet, work-from-home job in Hingham, MA, which allows me a lot of flexibility to care for your pets as well. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, farm animals, small rodents (guinea pigs, hamsters etc.), and more. However, my main focus over the years have primarily been with dogs and cats. I'm also very comfortable with all sorts of animals who might have training issues, aggression, fear, or other behavioral problems.

Katherine is an exceptional house/pet sitter. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and devotion to our fur kids was of the highest quality. She stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving our dogs and house behind while we were on vacation. We loved the daily updates, photos and videos. Katherine gave our pugs their necessary medicine, plenty of exercise/walks, playtime and extra snuggles. When we returned home, she had the house neat and tidy. Above all, Katherine is kind and trustworthy, our dogs truly enjoyed her company.

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable providing any care that you might need within your home, whether that's a lot of exercise & playing, or sleeping like a couch potato, to using crates, or letting your pets sleep on couches / in beds. My ultimate goal is that your pet feels right at home with me, and that their care remains consistent and loving during your absence.

Information Katherine W. would like to know about your pet

Please always let me know if your pet requires any special medication, sleeping arrangement, exercise regimens or unusual potty breaks. It's also very helpful to know if your pet is fearful, anxious, or reactive, or has any tendencies to run away without recall. This helps me to be able to know how to provide the best care for your pet, and to discuss important details before any visit.

A typical day

I love interacting and playing with pets, whether that's taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood or to nearby parks, or playing with your cats in the living room. It's all about what works best for your pet!
