Kathryn was so communicative and thoughtful with our pets! Our big dog was being super stubborn due to being on new painkillers while we wait for our surgery date, and Kathryn was so patient and caring with our doggie. It’s always a good sign when our kitty warms up to her quickly too! Moana cat was in her lap immediately! 5/5 absolutely will recommend and already plan to use again!

About: I’ve taken care of family dogs and chickens my whole life. I currently take care of my own chickens, geese, dogs, and gecko! My animals are my joy and I spend time with them whenever I can. My time is yours as long as I know ahead of time! My schedule is flexible and I can work around yours however you need. Late nights, early mornings, let’s discuss. My dogs are currently on an electric fence and my poultry free range. I am not currently comfortable with stays at my home due to risk associated with my birds.

She would send pictures and videos along the day and once I arrived she informed me of all things that happened. She has an relaxed attitude and the puppy feels this and is relaxed and calmed once Tasha leaves. I cannot thank her enough for all her help!! 😍😍

About: I have years of experience dog-sitting and cat-sitting for friends and clients, often staying at their homes to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. My friends trust me to care for their pets as if they were my own, and I'm committed to providing the best care possible! My schedule allows me to visit or walk your pet before and after work, Monday to Thursday (I work from 9 am to 5 pm) and Friday (I work remotely from 9 am to 12 pm). I am also available on weekends, Friday to Sunday, for pet sitting, so your pet will have plenty of attention and care even if you're away for an extended period! With years of experience in dog-sitting and cat-sitting, I understand the importance of creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow a consistent routine, ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable, and I take precautions to maintain a safe space within your home. I'm committed to reliable communication, sharing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. By allowing each pet to approach me at their own pace, I foster trust and a positive bond, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed in my presence. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life! I grew up with a senior dog and cats in their late teens, and then got puppies and kittens that I’ve taken care of for over a decade. I’ve watched pets for friends and family, and while I’m new to professional pet care, I’ll treat yours with the same care I’d treat mine. I can fit pet care into virtually any time of most days. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I’m not very busy! I’m very gentle with my pets, and I like to treat them like a friend rather than another type of entity. I respect their boundaries and comfort, and like to see what would be best for them in any given moment. I’m always respectful of other people’s homes, always respect house rules, and am super careful of others’ property.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. I have owned dogs, dog sat, and love spending time with them. I recently worked with a trainer with my own dog, and we successfully navigated flying to, and living in, Mexico. People often comment on how well behaved she is! I've recently moved back to the states and am looking for some additional income. What better way than to spend it with dogs? I grew up in the area and am excited to spend time with dogs in the area. I take the time to learn the dog's routines and expectations of the owner's home. This makes the dog's time with me the most natural that it can be.

About: I love every kind of animal and think they deserve the best treatment. I have had dogs and other animals in my life since I was born. I grew up with animals ranging from small rodents to reptiles, a rescued squirrel, to the normal dog and cat. They take up my entire heart. I have been taking care of other people's pets since I was a child. These animals include: dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, alpacas, snakes, lizards, hissers, frogs, and bunnies. Family friends, neighbors, and family themselves come to me when they are in need of someone to watch their animals while they are gone. I have taken care of pets from daily check-ins to staying a week or more at their house. I would have no problem watching any animal for an extended period of time. I would not hesitate to take your dog with me where ever I went so they can get as much playtime and exercise as possible, unless of course they were a senior dog or special needs dog that must rest up a lot, or if you preferred otherwise! I am more than happy to come take care of any animal after 5pm on Mondays-Thursdays. Sometimes earlier on Thursdays! Fridays I have completely free and would love to get out there and be active, giving me something to do which I love. My weekends are iffy, but do not hesitate to ask. I'm more than happy to work things out with you! All animals will be cared for in whatever manner the owner(s) would like. I follow directions to a T. If there is ever something I am hesitant about or unsure of I will make sure to ask right at the beginning. I will not hesitate to ask questions or to contact in an emergency. These animals are not mine which makes me even more protective over them. Most of all, if they want it, the animals will get all the love they can ask for.
