Active and responsible dog lover

Pet care experience

I love dogs more than anything. I grew up with dogs all of my life and have great deals of experience caring for them. I have two dogs of my own - Ramsey is an Australian Shepherd and Hank is a black lab. They have brought so much joy and fun into my life. I enjoy taking them on walks, runs, hikes, and trips to the dog park. During college in NC I was a very active sitter on Rover, and loved spending time with all different kinds of dogs and I am eager to meet new dogs in RVA. Each dog is unique in their own way and I really enjoy getting to know each one. I am soft spoken and have a big heart which allows me to easily connect with dogs. I am also very responsible, patient, and willing to care for any size or kind of dog. I love going on walks and playing fetch with dogs, but also cuddling on the couch with a furry friend. You can rest assured that your dog will be in good hands with me and I will love him/her like my own. I am a third grade teacher and would love to continue taking care of dogs when my schedule allows it!

Our pup Josie was well taken care of by Mary Katherine and her husband. They were kind, flexible with scheduling, picked her up/dropped her off, and kept in communication with us through-out Josie's overnight stay. We loved the pictures and will definitely book with them again! Thank you Mary Katherine!

Mary Katherine and her fiancé Levi were so sweet and kept in constant communication with us while we were away! Elvis seemed so happy when he got home! Thank you so much for taking great care of him....I think he loved being able to play with Ramsey too ☺️

Information Mary Katherine C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about the dog’s temperament, what they like/do not like. What makes them happy or upset and how to make the experience most beneficial.

A typical day

I will go on walks wherever the owner of the dog prefers us to go! I am happy to just do a simple walk, or even include some fetch or playtime with the pup if desired. I am more than happy to walk the dog alone, or bring my own dog along if the dogs get along well together.
