Pet care experience

Guaranteed love, play & scratches!

If you’re looking to book for Fourth of July, I’ll be going up to Beaver Lake, WI to hang with dear friends and their crew of dogs, cats and goats :) If that sounds like an enrichment opportunity for your dog, I’d love to have him/her join me! I've had dogs since I was born! Ranging from all-American hunting breeds to banged-up mutts, I love them all. That said, I have a very soft spot for the little guys who need a little extra love and patience. Fun fact: when I was in 5th grade for a school project I went through the exercise of opening up a dog daycare business. I could not wait to take care of all the dogs that were going to come my way! According to my 5th-grade self, two locations was going to cost me $1 million :)

Kate was wonderful! She was so great with communication throughout the whole process and sent tons of great updates and photos. She gave Lottie lots of walks and exercise and I knew she was great hands the whole week we were away. Lottie was sad to come home!

Kathryn was AMAZING!!! We were nervous about leaving our 11 month old puppy while we were on Spring Break, but Kathryn eased those concerns right away. She gave us tons of updates with pictures and videos. She was treated like a member of their family! We will not hesitate to use Kathryn again.

Schedule

I'm currently a restaurant consultant and I work from home but have recently also taken some 8 hr shifts away from the house a few days per week. If your dog can handle two walks per day and has moderate to low energy levels, my home might be a fit. I live minutes from multiple parks, where I love to play pickleball and also throw the ball with my sister's golden retriever!

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve just moved from an apartment to a house. There is a small fenced yard, and neighborhood sidewalks for walking. The house is covered in area rugs, and I have a set of sturdy steps for getting onto the bed or sofa. There are lots of windows and sunny spots for your little guy to curl up and enjoy. If I'm at your house, I'll try to maintain the rhythms and routines your pet is used to and give them lots of sweet words, scratches and attention.

A typical day

I love training games, practicing what your dog knows with treats or even just their dog food as a reward. I find dogs love this stimulation, and it helps set the tone that I care about their behavior and responsiveness. We can go on walks, sniff along the hallways of my apartment, go to a park and throw a ball or frisbee and find a comfy spot to rest.
