Big Heart for Every Paw

What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on pet care paired with my background as a paramedic. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, experienced with puppies, senior dogs, medication routines, and maintaining safe, consistent care in any situation.

We were fortunate to meet Kate and her dogs at a social event months before she offered her services on Rover, and to witness the loving relationship she has with them. Soon after we hired her for drop in visits and dog walking. We’ve been dog owners for 14 years and have never had a better fit with a caregiver. Kate is a great communicator with dogs and people. She is reliable, punctual, and trustworthy. She sends photos that make us smile. We can absolutely recommend her services.

I can’t recommend her enough! She accommodated me at the very last minute and made the whole experience stress-free. She sent daily updates and photos, and it was clear my dogs were happy and well cared for. Knowing they were in such good hands allowed me to truly enjoy my time away. I would definitely book with her again.

Hello Rover. I'm writing with regard to Kethryn (Kate). I've know Kate for eight years and I know that she's always taken excellent care of her pets. The words spoiled rotten come to mind, though you can't really spoil a pet since they deserve all the love they get. In addition to taking great care of her own creatures, Kate also regularly volunteers to care for friends/neighbors pets. Charlie and Carlos (A King Charles spaniel and a Mexican rescue) moved in downstairs from Kate last January and were immediately added to her babysitting list, much to their delight. In brief, I'm sure that Kate will make a great and reliable addition to your dog walking team. Sincerely, Lisa Dougall

Kethryn has looked after my two dogs on several occasions. Kathryn is great with all animals and my dogs absolutely adore her. I highly recommend Kethryn and will be utilizing her to look after my dogs as the need arises.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home and in my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s routine closely to reduce stress, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and quiet rest. I maintain a clean, safe, low-stress environment and provide consistent updates for peace of mind.

Pets

A typical day

I tailor fun to each pet’s personality, from long walks, structured play, and enrichment games to cozy cuddle time, window watching for cats, and gentle senior-friendly activities that keep them happy and engaged.

I like to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, temperament, triggers, fears, favorite toys, energy level, and any medical or behavioral concerns so I can provide safe, familiar care.
