Katherine L.
About: I previously worked as a veterinary technician, which gave me hands-on experience recognizing changes in animal health, supporting medical care, administering medications, and helping animals feel safe during stressful situations. I’m also a mental health therapist with specialized training in animal-assisted and animal-specific therapeutic work, which has strengthened my understanding of behavior, attachment, anxiety, and regulation in both people and animals. In addition, my family raised Guide Dogs for several years, so I have extensive experience with puppy development, obedience reinforcement, socialization, public access training, and maintaining consistent routines and expectations. That experience taught me how important patience, structure, calm energy, and clear communication are for helping dogs succeed. Pet care is already a central part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule around consistent walks, feeding routines, play, enrichment, and quality time with my own dog, so caring for additional pets feels like a natural extension of my day rather than something added on. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, check-ins, daytime care, medication routines, and maintaining consistency for pets who do best with structure and companionship. I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and creating calm, engaging environments for animals. I focus on creating a calm, safe, structured, and attentive environment where pets can feel comfortable while maintaining consistent routines and expectations. I tailor care to each animal’s personality, energy level, and needs, whether that means active play, enrichment, training reinforcement, or a slower, quieter environment. In my home, pets have access to a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, play, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who are accustomed to being around other animals and help create a welcoming environment for visiting pets. Safety and structure are very important to me, so all dogs staying in my home are crated when unsupervised or overnight to ensure everyone is safe, comfortable, and set up for success while preventing accidents or unnecessary stress. In clients’ homes, I work to maintain pets’ regular routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, exercise, and training expectations. I provide thoughtful updates, close supervision, and individualized attention so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.

1. Lauren C.Star Sitter
“My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.”
2. Mary M.
“Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!”
3. Ellen F.Star Sitter
“Ellen was fabulous! She kept me updated with photos and messages each day, and I came home to a very happy dog. He sometimes seems a bit stressed out after I’ve been away, but not with Ellen. He was obviously in very good hands with her. I’m grateful for her care and attention. I highly recommend!”
