Safety, trust & environment

I truly love spending time with animals and believe pets feel happiest when they can stay in their own home and routine. When I care for pets, I focus on giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while following their normal schedule for meals, walks, and any medications or special care they need. I also treat your home with a lot of respect and keep everything clean and organized while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved so you can travel knowing they’re in good hands. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing.

Information katherine w. would like to know about your pet

Before a sit, I love learning as much as possible about your pet’s routine and personality so I can keep things consistent while you’re gone. Let me know about feeding schedules, favorite toys, energy levels, medications, or any quirks that help them feel comfortable. I’m happy to adapt to their normal routine and make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own home.

A typical day

I love being outside, so if your dog enjoys walks, hikes, or exploring, we’ll get along great. I’m also happy to meet each dog where they are—whether that means getting lots of exercise, playing games, or providing mental stimulation that keeps them happy and engaged. Just as important, I enjoy quiet time and cuddles, so if your pup likes relaxing and spending time together, I’m always happy to provide plenty of attention and companionship.

Reliable & Attentive Pet Care

Pet care experience

I spent the first 18 years of my life growing up on a farm, caring for and training many animals, including multiple breeds of dogs. For the past ten years, I’ve owned several pups in the city and have cared for friend's and neighbor's dogs and cats on long and short-term stints.

Did a great job with everyone and the house! Was very responsive in taking my sick dog in to the vet for care when there was a concern.

I have known Katherine most of her life and have always found her to be honest and caring. She grew up around animals and always related kindly with them. She has had dogs and cats of her own and they were always well cared for. I think she would be a good choice for either position.

Katherine grew up on a farm and has spent a lot of her life caring for animals of all kinds. She has a niche for dogs and caring for them on a deeper level than most. Above the basic necessities Katherine loves to goof around and interact. She understands that dogs/puppies are emotional beings and love being stimulated mentally as well as physically! I trust her with my dogs whole heartedly!
