Pet care experience

Happy Pets, Hassle-Free Care!

Growing up with dogs instilled in me a deep love and understanding of their needs. For the past three years, I’ve provided reliable and compassionate dog-sitting services, ensuring every pup I care for feels safe, loved, and well-tended. From playful walks to cozy cuddles, I treat each dog like part of the family.

Kathryn (Katie) was amazing! Super easy to work with and flexible. Very responsive, kind and attentive to details. I felt very comfortable leaving Cali with her for the long weekend. Great setup for dog sitting with an outdoor porch and easy backyard access. Definitely recommend!

Our dog Millie took an immediate liking for Katie. No hesitations at all. It was like she saw her every day. Our immediate impression of Katie was that she was a very competent and responsible young woman. And this proved to be the case during the boarding period.. The photos she sent indicated to us that Mille was well taken care of and was very relaxed. Katie had a nice outdoor deck where Millie could sun herself, something she loves. What more can you want or expect. We would not hesitate to use Katie in the future.

Kathryn took wonderful care of our dog. She kept us updated with photos of Munjee throughout the stay and communicated everything so clearly. Thanks to Kathryn, we were able to enjoy a lovely Thanksgiving. We look forward to having her take care of Munjee again for Christmas.🩵

Katie was AMAZING! She is easily the most engaged, communicative, caring and responsible Rover that I have ever worked with. She sent regular updates (and very cute pictures) of Beaker. She went above-and-beyond to take him on exciting new walks, kept him on leash at my request, was careful and precise with his medication schedule -- and kept me in the loop on all of it. I will definitely be reaching out to Katie for all future care-taking needs that Beaker and I have!

Safety, trust & environment

I create a pet-friendly space that is clean, secure, and free from hazards, ensuring they feel comfortable and at ease. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet parent, from feeding schedules to medication routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining the pet’s routine to reduce stress. I’m vigilant about safety, keeping doors and gates secure, and I always provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection to make their time with me enjoyable and worry-free.
