Ratings and reviews
Kathryn has looked after our dog when we were out of town. She did an amazing job. She sent updates when requested. Our dog was exhausted with how much fun they had. She is an amazing dog sitter and fantastic person. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.

Schedule
I am typically available for boarding and daycare on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I can do visits in the afternoon and evening. For daycare, I am available for drop off as early as 5 AM and pick up as late as 9 PM. I have a dog and a cat of my own that I care for daily. After breakfast has settled in our tummies we go out for walks. We have regular play and naps throughout the day. After dinner lots of snuggles and tv. The dogs sleep in the room with us on their beds. When I got my male dog last year as a puppy, I rebuilt our home schedule to be around caring for him.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
For boarding or daycare: I have a fenced yard and a friendly dogs to keep yours company. I can crate your dog at night if preferred or they can sleep on a bed. I separate all dogs for meal times to prevent resource guarding. I have toys available for play that are regularly washed. Dogs are allowed on couches and in the downstairs during the day. They are allowed upstairs in our bedroom with the door shut at night with us. I will walk and play with them. I have space in the fridge/freezer for fresh or raw food. I can give medications. For dog-walking: I will walk your dog with mine on leashes for your preferred distance or time in the morning or evening. I am experienced with handling leash-reactivity.

A typical day
I am able to provide physical exercise and mental stimulation through a variety of activities, including exercise, play with a ball or tug toy, and playing enrichment games. I run and hike with my own dog so if yours likes to run or hike I can do that with them too! We will go on Sniffari to enjoy the neighborhood. I give frequent cuddles and snuggles as well as verbal reassurance. We have quiet time before, and after meals to let everyone’s tummy settle.
