I adore animals, and I have a particular fondness for dogs and cats. I'm also a runner, so I can take your dogs for a run if they're so inclined (though I don't run with dogs on ice--no sense risking injuries to the dog or myself!). I can also house sit, run errands, and administer basic medications. I'm generally available M-F, and Saturdays are pretty easy to arrange so long as I know in advance. (I work remotely with flexible hours, so I can arrange my schedule based on your needs.) As for experience, I've done plenty of petsitting and dog walking for family, friends, landlords, and the like, and I'm looking to get into it on a professional basis. I've also lived on farms and taken care of animals ranging from pigs to chickens to goats. I'm currently a professional editor, and while I love my work, I don't love sitting in front of a computer 8-10 hours/day. I'd like to take that work down to part time and start petsitting and dog walking to supplement my income.

    Thorough, kind, dependable, thoughtful. What a joy it was to work with Katherine who helped me hang artwork throughout the house, meticulously measuring and double-checking with me that things looked the way I wanted. Can tell she would also be great with animals, which is another one of her skills, as she was very sweet to my dog.
