Availability
I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week! I’m happy to provide daytime care, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. As a teacher, my schedule may change once the school year begins, but I plan to continue offering pet care before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m flexible and happy to work with you to find a routine that works best for your pet!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. When caring for dogs in my home, I’ll make sure they have a comfortable, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and opportunities to relax. I’m also happy to accommodate crates, special routines, or other needs to help your dog feel as comfortable and at home as possible.

Information Kathryn D. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your dog, I’d love to know anything that will help me make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible! Please let me know about their normal routine, feeding schedule, medications or special needs, temperament, favorite activities, and any fears or triggers they may have. I’d also like to know how they typically behave around other dogs and people, as well as anything else you think would help me give them the best care possible. ❤️
A typical day
I’ll make sure your dog has a fun, comfortable day filled with plenty of attention and love! I love being outside and going on walks, and when I watch my friends’ dogs, we especially love going for walks by the lake and along the river. Depending on your dog’s energy level and normal routine, we can take long walks, explore the neighborhood, play with their favorite toys, spend time outside, or enjoy lots of cuddles and downtime. I’m happy to keep active dogs busy while also giving more relaxed or older dogs the quiet time they need. My goal is to make their day feel like a fun and comfortable home away from home! 🐾

A dog lover you can trust!
Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs in my home my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of who I am and I truly love spending time with them! I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog, so I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether your dog is staying with me for the day or just needs a walk, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles! I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’m always happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re in my care! 🐾

Reviews
Kathryn is truly the best dog sitter! Every time I hire her she makes sure all of my energetic crazy pups needs are not only met but exceeded, even tiring him out so he’s oh so sleepy for me when I get home :)
Kathryn has truly been a god sent! She is so caring and diligent with Melvin, making sure all the little things are done! She is been a consistent support and I’m happy to have her in our support community when we need the help with our sweet boy.
