Personalized & Friendly Pet Care!
Pet care experience
Dogs aren't just my job but my biggest passion. I love to spend as much time as I can with dogs outside and when not pet sitting can often be found hiking and competing with my own dogs. My pet sitting clients become a part of my extended family and I treat them as such. My pet care philosophy is a strong belief in personalized attention, I want your dog to have the best time they can and will do whatever they need so that they are stress free and happy while you're away! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to cater to your dog's individual schedule. I provide a minimum of daily updates and am always transparent about your pet's stay, I never want you to worry while I am caring for them! In over a decade in the pet industry I have been lucky enough to gain experience with a wide variety of pets. While most of my recent experience is in dog training through my position as Training Coordinator at REkALIBRATED k9 I have years of additional experience working in the veterinary field, boarding and day care, as a horse groom, as well as volunteering and fostering with local shelters. I am fully prepared to take care of whatever animals you own and all of their special needs! For dog walking and drop in clients I visit for at least an hour which includes a potty break, walk, cuddles and playtime. Longer walk times are always available and if there is poor weather I am happy to walk in the rain or provide indoor playtime. Any in-home visit may includes additional services like plant care and mail retrieval at owner's request. Meet and greets are always required before booking so that you and your furry friend are completely satisfied with the care I offer. This also give you a chance to fill me in on all of your pets personal care. I want you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable before you hire me!
Reviews
Kathryn did a great job taking care of our kitties while we were out of town for several days. I don’t even think they missed us! She was good about communicating with us so that we didn’t worry. And even cleaned up the messes! We’ll call on her again!
Kathryn was wonderful with our two dogs. I hope to ask for help in the future again!!
Kathryn did a great job sitting with our dog Riley. She spent several hours with him. They played fetch in the backyard and Riley got in a good nap. We will definitely use Kathryn again.
Kathryn is a wonderful sitter! I am very picky with who I trust with my dogs, but I can definitely say that I trust Kathryn with them. She has provided excellent care multiple times. I would 100% recommend her.

I strive to keep your pets' routine as normal as possible while you are away. I love to get a detailed view of your pets' daily routine so that I may reduce as much of the stress associated with pet sitting as possible.
Home
Information Kathryn D. would like to know about your pet
I only ask that owners are upfront about any special needs your dog may have, whether it be medical requirements or behavior issues. I also want to know as much detail as possible about their daily routine, what's their favorite toy? do they get a treat before bedtime? any house rules? The more details I have the better equipped I am to making your dog or cat as happy as possible!
A typical day
I am a very active person and want your dog or cat to get the same physical and mental stimulation they would when they're with you. Whether your dog loves going for a daily jog, playing fetch for hours or just laying on the couch getting belly rubs all day.
