Thorough, dependable dog mom!
Pet care experience
I am a healthcare professional and a crazy dog mom myself. Ready and willing to take care of your fur-babies! I have lived with dogs in my family since 2004, and have had a dog of my own since 2012. As far as my philosophy in being around dogs: I believe that being consistent and firm in giving a dog boundaries is very important to establishing a relationship. But I also believe in the magical powers of treats, squeaky toys, baby talk, and belly rubs! I am a very flexible and reasonable person who believes in treating all clients' requests fairly and within reason. Your dogs are cherished parts of your families, and I would treat them with no less care than I would a human child.
Reviews
Katherine is incredible!! She helped to watch our pup for 5 days when we were on vacation. Katherine sent daily pictures and kept us very up to date on how our little guy was doing. She played and walked our dog daily and provided him lots of extra TLC! She is extremely professional and timely and even helped with an emergency extra visit. I can't say enough about how wonderful she is. If you're looking for someone you can trust -- I promise Katherine is your girl! We are so bummed she is relocating otherwise she would be the only pet sitter we use!
Katherine is the best. She has been incredibly patient and understanding of the needs of my dogs! I will definitely have her walk my dogs in the future!
Katherine was great !! She was super flexible on when she could visit, which was incredibly convenient!!
My dog Annie is a fat, stubborn 9-year-old bulldog mix who pulls on her leash and loves getting into trash and trouble when we're gone. We had given up on ever making her into a good dog, but when Katherine dog sits in our home, we trust that we come home to a well-exercised, well-behaved dog and our home is in one piece. You can rest easy knowing that your dog is in the hands of a very capable dog sitter. It's an absolute bonus that she is a medical student as well, and is able to administer medications expertly if you happen to have a dog who is in need of such care. Annie loves Katherine, and looks forward to her visits!
