Quality care for your pets

Pet care experience

I've always had a deep love for animals, and over the past several years I've cared for many different pets with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. Through this experience, I've developed strong pet care skills, including basic training knowledge and an understanding of animal behavior gained through my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. My goal is always to provide pets and their families with a safe, positive, and stress-free experience. I grew up with both dogs and cats and was responsible for their daily care. I also volunteered at animal shelters, where I gained experience working with animals of different temperaments, administering medications, and caring for pets with special needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I am comfortable adapting to their individual needs. I have experience with a variety of breeds and personalities, and I take pride in building trust and creating a fun, loving environment for every animal in my care. Since I don't currently have a pet of my own, I truly enjoy the opportunity to spend time with animals and do work that I genuinely love. I also have a reliable vehicle and can assist with transportation to appointments, daycare, grooming, or other pet-related needs if required. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own furry family members.

Katherine gave Ginger great care and sent reports and photos throughout the day. The location was perfect for the hot sunny day. Katherine has a fenced backyard with shade and the neighborhood has many shade trees along the sidewalks. She took Ginger for walk to the nearby park as well.

Katherine has been doing an amazing job working with my reactive, special-needs dog through weekly walks. I absolutely trust her to walk him and care for him!

Katherine has taken care of our cat numerous times. She is excellent with communication, prompt and caring. Our cat has accidents when stressed and now trusts Katherine so this is happening much less. We highly recommend her!

Katherine has been amazing with my anxious, 3-legged, dog-reactive rescue dog! She’s made a connection with my dog who is very shy with strangers over the last month and they can successfully go for walks together! It’s a huge relief for me to have someone else who I can trust to walk him. My dog continue to go for regular walks with Katherine, I totally recommend her!
