About Kat

My name is Katherine Howser, and I am a dog lover, animal lover, and people pleaser.  I love to help others and I empathize with those around me.  I am also confident in my abilities and my knowledge of animals and people.  I am a therapy dog consultant.  I am a teacher.  I am a dog walker.  I am a photographer.  

I have been teaching Montessori Education to 3-6 year olds for the past three years.  I have worked in therapy dog work since 2011, and I have worked as a pet sitter for the past year in Gainesville, VA.  With the help of my best friend Indy, a two-year-old golden retriever, I hope to change people's lives and offer a therapy that only a dog can offer.  I am currently finishing a certification in Animal-Assisted Therapy. 

I strongly support the use of dogs in therapeutic settings and I strive to to share my empathy with young people so that the world may one day be the planet that I know it can become. 

I also wish to help people who work long hours and cannot take their beloved pets with them, by giving them a reliable dog walker who will ensure that every pet is loved and cared for in their absence.  Every dog I visit with is treated as my own.  I have extensive knowledge of dog training techniques, and I am able to employ them as requested.  I will be your dog's advocate as well as one of their best buddies.
