About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have over 5 years of hands-on experience as the primary caregiver for my own senior dog. Growing up in a family of dog lovers, I was always surrounded by dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need plenty of exercise and engagement to senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and treating them like family. I’m a teacher who has recently started summer break, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m especially available during typical work hours, making me a great option for midday walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, or extended care while you’re at work. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping by for a drop-in visit, I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I’m committed to providing reliable, trustworthy care and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Kathryn was great! She helped me out last minute and took such good care of my puppy. She was able to let him out twice a day, spent time playing with him, and made me feel completely at ease my first days away from him. She had great communication, was always on time, and kept my house exactly the way I left it. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would use her again!”
