Highlights
Pet care experience
The Ulti-Mutt Dog Sitter
I'm a dependable animal lover who understands that every pet has unique needs. I've cared for puppies, pregnant dogs, adult dogs, and senior pets, and I'm comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, or companionship, I'm happy to help. I'm also comfortable administering medications as directed and providing extra patience and care for senior pets or those recovering from illness or surgery. I'm primarily looking to provide dog walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I also offer in-home care for both dogs and cats while you're out of town, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship in the comfort of their own home. I prefer not to spend the night myself, but will come over multiple times a day and for extended periods so your fur baby never feels alone. If you'd prefer they not spend the night alone, please consider boarding them with me. 🐾 I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make every visit safe, stress-free, and enjoyable for both you and your pets.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kathryn was extremely good with Achilles! He came back a different dog, less vocal than before! She gave me insight on some tips that would help with him still being under a year old. Kathryn kept me up to date on a lot of activities they did. I could tell my boy was overjoyed with his stay she made him very comfortable, treated him as her own ❤️ I would definitely do business with Kathryn again. Thank you again!
Kathryn is an attentive and reliable caregiver, and we were happy to have her return to care for our little guy again!
Kathryn was wonderful and did everything asked! She was quick to respond and willing to help last minute! Would highly recommend :)
We’re so thankful for Kathryn’s acceptance of our dog without much notice! We really appreciate the daily updates and photos and can tell he was loved on lots!
Super helpful and responsive! Took great care of my boys
Kathryn was great with our little old man! She is reliable and trustworthy, and she sends the best updates.

Schedule
I typically work from 5:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for afternoon walks and drop-in visits. If your pet needs an earlier check-in, I'm often able to accommodate early morning visits or work them into my lunch break. I'm primarily looking to provide dog walks, potty breaks, feeding, medication administration, and drop-in visits. I also offer in-home care for both dogs and cats while you're out of town, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship in the comfort of their own home. I prefer not to spend the night myself, but will come over multiple times a day and for extended periods so your fur baby never feels alone. If you'd prefer they not spend the night alone, please consider boarding them with me. 🐾 My goal is for your pets to feel like they're on their own all-inclusive vacation—full of playtime, belly rubs, treats (with your approval!), and lots of personalized care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are happy, safe, and well cared for.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have two fur babies of my own, both under 30 pounds, and have cared for dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to dogs well over 100 pounds. One of my dogs is intact, so I'm experienced with caring for dogs in heat, pregnant dogs, and their unique needs. I've also owned and cared for cats throughout the years. My home has a securely fenced yard and is available for boarding when needed. However, I generally prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment and maintain their normal routine. Whether I'm stopping by for a walk, providing overnight care, or house sitting while you're away, I'll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I'll also care for your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and treating it as if it were my own. My goal is for you to return home to happy pets and complete peace of mind.
Pets
A typical day
I like to tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level! That might mean neighborhood walks, backyard playtime, fetch, enrichment games, practicing tricks, or plenty of snuggles and couch time. For higher-energy pups, I’m happy to keep them busy and moving, while seniors or more laid-back pets can enjoy slower walks, sniff time, and lots of attention. My goal is to keep their normal routine while making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!

- I’d love to know anything that helps me keep your pet happy, comfortable, and safe! Their normal routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and any behavioral or medical needs are all helpful. Please also let me know how they do with other dogs, people, walks, being left alone, and anything that may make them nervous or reactive. The more I know about what makes your pet them, the better I can make their time with me feel like their normal routine.
