Wildlife Bio & Past Vet Assistant

Pet care experience

AVAILABILITY: M-F after 5pm, Saturdays in the mornings and evenings, and usually Sundays all day. Hello! I am a wildlife biologist and avid animal lover. I worked previously as a veterinary assistant and have missed seeing my client's faces since switching careers. I am happy to watch after your fur (scales, feathered, etc.) family while you are away and assist with any care they may need in your absence. I love hiking and being outdoors in general so feel free to ask about taking your buddy on an adventure, especially on weekends! I have a giant dog, 1 feisty cat, and 2 sweet cats at home. I look forward to working with you and setting your mind at ease while you're away or just helping to exert some energy from your household pet if you're busy. I love sending photos and updates to my clients! I have cared for my own pets for the past 14 years and have done pet sitting and dog walking for many years including being a dog shelter volunteer, daily pet sitting a diabetic cat requiring 2/day insulin shots for 3 years, being a foster parent to numerous animals, and working in a veterinary clinic for over 5 years. I have a soft spot for geriatric animals, extra large dogs, and exotic species but I love all animals and am happy to accommodate requests, just message me to discuss.

Kathrine was absolutely awesome with our three boys. We loved getting photos and notes from each check-in. She got to know their personalities quickly and gave them each the attention they like. We really appreciated the detail and care that went into Kathrine’s prep/visits and look forward to booking again in the future!

Kathrine had been working with animals since she was in first grade when she volunteered as a dog walker at a local shelter. She has veterinary technician experience and coursework in animal science. She is comfortable with all types of animals and has never met an animal she did not like. She has spent years working in the field with large carnivores including bears and tigers so your family pet will not be any problem. She is dependable, professional, and will take exceptional care of your pets.

Kathrine is a phenomenal sitter and I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs. While we were out of town, she took excellent care of our elderly cat and even sent photos and detailed messages to keep us up to date. The extra care she took with our cat to make sure her litter boxes were clean and any messes were cleaned up made me feel more at ease not being home with her. We will absolutely be using Kathrine again in the future.

Information Kathrine M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know any specific preferences or concerns of the pet parent as well as any fears that they pet may posses in order to assure the best experience for everyone involved! I would also like to know of any training they have received to better understand the level of expectation that should come from leash walking and interaction.

A typical day

I hike most weekends and on weekdays I typically walk around parks or neighborhoods. I play fetch every day with my dog and encourage mental and physical stimulation for all pets within their abilities. I am not a certified trainer but I am happy to assist with training that you are working on at home.
