Availability
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!

About Katheryn S.
Communication
Dog skills
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.
Home
Information Katheryn S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know how your dog does with greeting other dogs on walks. We can cross the street to avoid those interactions if he/she is reactive.
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.

Pet care experience
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 some 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 :)

Reviews
Kate was an incredible caregiver for our anxious dog Rita Mae. The communication was great from inquiry to final pick- up. She sent regular photos/updates and we knew our dog was in the best hands. Will absolutely request her services again!
Katheryn was amazing with our pup. You could tell she truly enjoyed being with him and sent us a lot of updates took him on a cute little adventure which we really appreciated because he is an active dog would highly recommend her.
Great experience with Katheryn! Very welcoming and accommodating to my Dog and sent frequent updates while I was away. We will be using them again for sure!
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!
