Yoga teacher to spoil your pup!
Pet care experience
At 8 years old my family adopted our first good boy, Fritz, a black and tan Dachshund! He was my first love. In high school, I spent a lot of time caring for pups ranging from 5 lb terriers to 110 lb golden retrievers. Fast-forward to the present, my partner Daniel and I now have two handsome pups of our own! You can see our adventures on our Instagram @logan_and_stitch Bruce is our 7.5 year old boxer; gentle and shy, he's all about puppies. Seriously, he can't get enough of them! Right behind Bruce is our 7yr old Logan, the boxer mix (the vet thinks he's likely mixed with St. Bernard). Logan wants to run everywhere and he will chase anything you throw for him, even rocks! These two together are a wiggly, slightly slobbery, bouncing adventure! We enjoy visiting the nearby park where we run the trails, bound and leap through the woods, and sometimes jump into the watering holes scattered about. The boys rarely meet a dog they can't convince to play with them, and have many many furry friends! Our pups are well trained, they sit, stay, lay down, shake, high five, and know all sorts of other commands. They still get very excited (and sometimes loud or slobbery) when they meet new friends of course! We are always learning new tricks and gobbling lots of treats in the process! We have quite flexible work schedules so there is rarely more than one hour of time when a person is not home. To allow us to provide your pup with the most attention and love, please consider booking a few days in advance. Your pup is our priority, so please don't hesitate to bring up other options not on our calendar! PLEASE NOTE: Logan in currently preparing for TPLO (ACL) surgery, so boarding is temporarily off the table. We will return to boarding as soon as he's cleared to play by the vet! (If you are a prior boarder with us, please feel free to reach out if unable to schedule with anyone else!)

Fantastic job and I got videos and photos of all the fun Jenny had while staying with Kathryn! You can tell the live and care she has for her own dogs and it extends to the dogs she watches.
Our dogs had a great stay and we had wonderful updates. Will book again, thanks!
Kathryn was so sweet with my two puppies! I have a very energetic border collie and golden retriever, Lilo and Indy, back home in Texas, and she was amazing with them! I got lots of pictures and updates on how they were doing while I was out of town. Her dogs were so sweet, and all the pups got along so well! It gave me such peace of mind to know Lilo, who can be nervous while away from home, was so relaxed and enjoying herself. Indy was simply having the time of his life having new friends to run around with! I would highly recommend Kathryn and will be using her again!!
My pup had the best time during her stay with Kathryn. My pup and her dogs got along well. Kathryn was very nice and accommodating to all of my pups needs. I was updated everyday with pictures. It was overall great and I would definitely recommend!

When walking, I backpedal often to keep your pupper's attention. I would love to follow the route YOU take your fur babies on, so a map or directions are gladly accepted! I'm very comfortable with using gentle leads and muzzles for walks if your pupper needs one to keep them from eating sidewalk snacks or chasing squirrels, just let me know in advance!
Information Kathryn M. would like to know about your pet
Does your pup have any allergies or fears? Are they reactive to noises, men, other dogs on leashes, people on bikes, or anything else? What commands does your pup respond to best? Is there anything you'd like me to help you work on with your fur baby?
A typical day
When caring for your pupper, I try to follow your routine as closely as I can. I'll gladly walk/jog/run with them on your preferred neighborhood route, but am also happy to explore together! If you're in an apartment with a designated dog park, I'm happy to visit with your fur baby and toss a favorite toy around with them!

Availability
I'm currently back in school part-time and have fairly open flexibility. There are, however, a few bi-weekly commitments on my calendar, so please request in advance (if possible) so that I can work everybody in!
