Pet care experience
I have been watching a friends dogs routinley for awhile now. My responsibilities have included taking them out to go to the bathroom, feeding them, and playing with them. I also have a dog of my own named Bonnie(she lives with my parents now, but I raised her), as well as a cat named Stella,a kitten named Cheese, and even a Leopard gecko named Mr. Lahey. I enjoy taking care of animals, as I find it to be very therapeutic.
Reviews
Katie was fantastic. Great communication and our pups had a blast spending the day with her. Highly recommend - we'll definitely be using Katie again!
Kathryn was polite and has a positive attitude about caring for animals. It was a pleasure to meet her and will definitely contact her again as needed.
Kathryn has been around my family for around 20 years. We actually consider her part of our family. She has taken care of our dogs on several occasions when we have been out of town. She has taken very good care of them and they have all loved her.She is also very trustworthy.
Katie is wonderful with animals! Anytime I leave and need someone to watch my pets shes the first person I ask!! She treats them as if they’re her own and enjoys being around them as much as they enjoy being around her. Has been watching my pets for the past 10+ years and wouldn’t have it any other way! Also has cats and dogs and even reptiles of her own that she cares for. Loves all animals!

Safety, trust & environment
I make sure to be very respectful and tidy when I come into someone else's home. I think it's important to leave the area the same as I left it. I will take care of any animal, but my policy is to not take on bigger dogs unless they are good on a leash or you have a fenced yard. This is to protect me as well as to make sure your dog doesn't get lost since I am only a little over 5 feet and not very strong.
Information Kathryn S. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special needs or behaviors let me know. This can be things like a weak bladder, meds they need to take, special diets. places they may not like to be pet, things they are afraid of, food aggression, or a tendency to be anxious or skittish.
A typical day
I enjoy going on walks and would love to take the dog as long as it is good on a leash and not a larger dog. One of my favorite places to walk is lehigh parkway. Dog slobber doesnt bother me, so if they have some toys I'm done for a game of fetch or tug of war.

Availability
I am a full time student, and cannot do Tuesdays or Thursdays. I can be available to do drop in visits and dog walking any time after 2pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am also available Saturdays and Sundays from 8am- 5pm. Once mid May comes around, my schedule becomes much more open and flexible.
