Pet care experience

Stay at home mom eager to help you!

I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals from dogs to also small animals and reptiles. I’ve grown with dogs through all stages of their life from puppies to senior dogs. I feel I’ve always been empathetic to what animals may want/need, able to read their body language, always up for playing or cuddling, etc. I currently have a high energy mixed dog that I’ve trained myself. I’ve cared for her through being a puppy, her needs after surgeries, giving medications, helping comfort through anxiety, and playing throughout the day to take care of her energy needs. I have a big back yard if you need day care and your dog would have a companion to play with! We take daily walks that we’d love to have your pup join!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

If your pet is coming to my house, it is completely open for your pet to feel comfortable and explore their surroundings. Our back door is always open so they can use the bathroom when they want to or also play and run around with our dog! Water is always out and available. If you’d like check ins at your home, I would of course respect your home and privacy. Nothing would be touched unless necessary to care for your animal the way you’re asking me to. Whatever your needs are, I will completely follow.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 05, 2026

Katherine took great care of my boy. Offered him a dip in the pool to cool off but he kinda a fake Lab and turned it down. She took him as a last minute deal so I could skip across the Bay for HSB in Golden Gate Park.

Dog Walking • Sep 30, 2026

Katherine was wonderful! She was able to take my dog on a last minute walk and was incredibly responsive with messages and even kept me updated by sending photos. I’m so happy to have found a reliable and trustworthy person to leave my dog with.

Drop-In Visits • Sep 28, 2026

Katie did an amazing job with Raven! Our dog is reactive and needed to meet new people slowly. Katie was very mindful of her and followed all of our directions! She also gave our dog so much love during her visit - rest assured that your pet will be taken care of !

Doggy Day Care • Sep 25, 2026

She replied and updated with my concerns. Lucky seemed that she enjoyed staying at Katherine’s place playing with her son and dog as well as relaxing, and being herself. I can leave lucky under Katherine’s care with worry free.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 24, 2026

Katherine took a good care of my Lucky even though she is shy to most of dogs where Katherine has a large dog that lucky might get scared of. Lucky seemed to have a great time with her son and her dog under Katherine’s care. I’ve just booked her again.

Katherine is an amazing pet parent, and caregiver. Our dog Ellie is always taken care of, albeit through walks, exercise in the backyard, or continued training. Katie has always taken the time to make sure the needs of Ellie, as well as other pets she’s owned have been addressed without delay. Katie is hyper vigilante of her surroundings and making sure that Ellie and other pets aren’t put into a compromised situation.

Schedule

I am a stay at home mom so I have complete availability to help care for your pets! I currently walk my dog every morning, but that can be adjusted to fit your needs for your dog to be walked. Because I’m a stay at home mom, day care is completely open for your pet to be at my house. We allow pets on furniture so your pet can be comfortable. Our dog is high energy so your pup can also get some energy out! Our backyard is very big to accommodate any running/playing they’d like to do. If daycare isn’t needed, I’m completely available to check in on your pet anytime as well!
