About Katherine
Experience: 8 yrs
I have 10 years of sitting, care, and training experience, but 15 years of dog parenting and 7 with a senior cat who recently passed at 19. I've done everything from boarding, training, fostering, house/pet sitting, and day care for primarily dogs. I've taken jobs where it's been just a few hours up to a month at a time of housesitting. During fostering I was primarily given the ones that needed the most help or time- food aggression, separation anxiety, fear aggression, or even puppies at a very young age that just needed medications and around the clock care. I am very dedicated, even doing three separate walks for 3 dogs in one sit with individual needs. I am comfortable with administering medications such as oral meds and ear infections, basic grooming which include bathing, nail grinding, ear cleaning, and basic dental cleaning. I like to be as thorough as possible given clear instructions. I treat the homes I'm staying at with the utmost respect and always clean up after myself.

Exceptional Pet Sitter and Dog Care Professional! I highly recommend Katie for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced Pet Sitter. She has taken care of my two dogs, Stella and Prince, multiple times and has done an absolutely phenomenal job. She is always on time (often early) and she has incredible knowledge about dogs of all breeds and ages. Beyond her professionalism, what truly stands out is how much she generally cares for the animals she looks after. She takes time to connect with them, ensures they feel safe and happy, and treats them as if they were her own. She’s also a wonderful trainer-patient, consistent, and a great at helping reinforce good behavior. Whether it’s daily walks, feedings, playtime, or overnight stays, she goes above and beyond in every way. In addition to her amazing care for my dogs, she is very respectful of my home and privacy. She always leaves everything clean and organized and she often goes extra mile-from offering helpful product suggestions to picking up items you might need. Katie is an absolute gem and has been a blessing to our family. ~Nikki
