About: Hello, I’m Kathryn, but feel free to call me Katie. Having worked at the ASPCA for almost seven years, animal welfare is truly at the core of everything I do. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog healthy and happy with meaningful exercise. I provide longer, quality walks, structured play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level, and one-on-one companionship so your pet feels cared for throughout the day. What I offer • Consistent, clear communication • Detailed updates with photos • Longer walks • Safe handling, comfort, and routine care • A calm and patient approach Availability • Weekdays: early mornings, mid-day, after work, and late evenings • Weekends: flexible with advance notice I know my rates look a little higher, but that reflects my experience, professionalism, and the level of attention your pet will receive. I am more than happy to hop on a quick call to answer any questions before booking. I can also provide personal referrals if needed. A little about me: I have two cats, Linus and Liam, who are my whole world. I also adore dogs and grew up with several breeds including a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Mini Schnauzer, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I hope to rescue a Great Dane someday, but until then I pour all my dog-love into the pups I care for. Skills • Leash training • Basic obedience and tricks • Brushing, baths, simple grooming • Agility exposure (from working with a Bernese) I would love the chance to care for your best friend and make sure they feel happy and comfortable until you return. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is very flexible. On weekdays, I’m available in the early mornings, mid-day, after work, and into the evening. I’m also able to help on weekends with a little advance notice. I have two cats at home, so I prefer to care for dogs in their owner's home. This has always worked well when I watch my friends’ dogs, as I typically stay at their house or apartment for extended periods while they’re away. It allows their pup to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment with their usual routines, rather than introducing new animals or unnecessary stress. My focus is always on making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: Take the trip, make the memories, we will spoil your dog. Dogs have been part of our family ever since we were little. I couldn't imagine our home without the dogs that have been part of our lives growing up. My parents have always been heavily involved in animal rescue and volunteer/run a shelter near their home. Every pet has their own personality, their own story to tell - and we just love to be a part of their lives. We work from home so we're always here to take the pooches in the yard or for a nice walk at the large park right next-door to our home so there's plenty of space for them to get out and play. We have a fenced in yard, so your pup can enjoy being outside with a little bit of freedom. We have a crate, should you need it and also a puppy pen for those little guys that might not be fully house-trained yet. Our kids love to play with the dogs outside, so you can count on extra love and plenty of fun. Our pup, Haley, passed this winter after 14 wonderful year of being a part of our family and we'll be sure to treat your dog like they are as well. My husband works from home, so he is always here to play & let the dogs out and loves the extra company here in his office. We have a nice big fenced in yard, so plenty of space to run around or just enjoy the sunshine for a bit. We're also right next to a nice park, perfect for our walks. We have extra dog beds and plenty of toys because we always want the pooches to be comfy and have lots of fun.

About: Hi there! I have 10+ years of experience as a dog and cat mom, along with 5+ years as a professional dog walker and caregiver. I absolutely love animals and take so much joy in giving them a safe, loving, and enriching experience while you’re away. Your dog won’t just be “watched” here - they’ll be on their own little adventure! I live on 900 acres of beautiful land and spend my days walking, hiking, and exploring with my dogs. It’s the perfect environment for pups who love fresh air, movement, and nature. I offer care in my home and am also happy to travel to pick up your dog for your convenience. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make their time here feel like a second home 🤍 I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely from home. The combination of my flexible schedule and working from home allows me the ability to come pick up your pup if needed, and host in my home! It is important for me to spend quality time with my pets and I would provide the same love and quality time with your fur-babies! We have a fenced in yard as well as 900 acres for leashed walks as well. Safety and security are very important to me when it comes to my pets, so it would be important for your babies as well. I like to keep an active lifestyle and spend a lot of time outdoors with my dogs. Your pup(s) would absolutely be included on these outdoor adventures! My goal is for your pet to have fun, and for you to have peace of mind while you're working or away.

My dogs are having a great time getting to know Jennie. She sends me videos of the dogs wagging their tails and playing. She also keeps me updated on how the visits are going and sends a bunch of photos which is great! Jennie is very communicative and responsive. She has attended to all of my requests and followed any instructions I have provided. Jennie has been a pleasure to interact with and I’m glad my dogs have responded so well to her care. I highly recommend Jennie!
