About: For $20 off your first Rover sit, click this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/kathrk79757 Hi, I’m Kathryn, a transplant from the East Coast with a special love of animals. I say special because I was never allowed to have pets growing up so, for the past several years, I’ve been making up for lost time. I’ve cared for spry and senior dogs, aloof and engaged kitties, tailoring my efforts to each one’s specific needs. Whether you need someone to walk and play with your pooch or be a loving companion to your furry friend when you can’t be there, I’ll slip seamlessly into their routine, minimizing disruption with snuggles and attention. My “leave no trace” approach means that you’ll return to a house in pristine condition, with sheets and towels laundered, the bed remade, the vacuuming done, etc. so you can enjoy a carefree reunion with your pet. I believe that my professionalism and caring, detail-oriented methods set me apart. I’ve traveled the world to care for peoples’ cats and dogs while their owners are away, regularly returning to a community in France where my network has grown organically through word of mouth recommendations. When I’m not caring for animals, you can find me hiking on one of the many majestic trails this region has to offer or engaging in creative pursuits like jewelry making and design. As a freelancer and entrepreneur, I have a fluid schedule which allows me to shift directions quickly and effectively. I prefer this method of operating as I seldom have a dull moment during the day. I’m proud to have the trust of many repeat clients who praise my reliability and the bond I have with their pets. I know how important peace of mind is so regularly update my clients with photos, videos and messages.
“Carla is just wonderful! I trusted her the moment I opened the door to meet for the first time. She let me know what her plan was & sent pictures during & after of our sweet husky! Thank you so much Carla, you’re amazing!!”
“Christopher was awesome. My magnificent, high energy, but somewhat reactive two-year-old, immediately loved him. Christopher matched my dog’s energy and athleticism, taking him on long walks that left him ready to sprawl and fall asleep afterward – – which is exactly what he needs. I think Christopher would adjust to the needs of any dog, he genuinely likes them and understands them. I feel lucky to have found him to play with my boy while I am sidelined with a broken ankle. He has my complete endorsement, great guy.”

“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with a Flexible Schedule 🐶🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from small seniors to large energetic breeds. I’ve raised a puppy of my own and have been professionally paid to house-sit and care for multiple dogs (up to five at once). I understand how to match a dog’s energy, follow routines, and create a calm, dependable environment. I'm confident with big dogs (up to 100 lbs) and always tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in a flexible, open-schedule period and available most weekdays and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and daytime visits. If your pet thrives on routine, I’m happy to set up regular visits or walks. My availability may change slightly week-to-week, but I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated. I take pet care seriously — you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, check gates and leashes, and make sure pets are secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m calm under pressure, and I work to create a low-stress experience for both you and your pet.
