Calming, caring and experienced!

Pet care experience

Hi there, I'm Kathryn! I am a freelance professional with a flexible schedule and ability to work remotely. For the several years in Denver I have been sitting for many families in the community and their furry friends. It brings me such joy! I do this because I absolutely love animals. I am also passionate about helping pet and homeowners feel at ease having someone you trust caring for your home while you’re away so you can relax and enjoy. Previously, I was also a foster dog mom for Colorado Greyhound Adoption, and most recently Ruth was my 8 year-old foster dog. I had her for almost 6 months and helped her turn from a shy, anxious dog to friendly and loving with the right care. I tend to have a calming presence that puts animals at ease :) In the past, I also took care of my roommates’ two large 8 year-old golden doodles and 1.5 year-old golden/cattle dog mix daily while they were at work. I would give them lots of love and attention while their owners were away all day due to my remote work. Over the years, I have sat for a variety of dogs, cats and other pets and enjoy their unique personalities and needs. I've sat for and helped train young dogs and also for elderly dogs and cats as well. Each animal is a unique spirit and I enjoy learning all their quirks and preferences so they and you feel at ease while you are traveling or out doing your thing. Know that any animals in my care are shown lots of love and care. In terms of your home, I always make it a point to leave the house I am staying in very clean so that when you return you are welcomed with a beautiful space. I will make sure you've got fresh, emptied garbage bags in the house and wash sheets and towels if you like. Whatever you need to have an easy, stress-free return to your furry family!

Kathryn is wonderful! She has a very relaxed and calm demeanor that matches well to our chill pup. She was attentive, quick to respond and sent us multiple photos and updates daily while we were away. Our dog appeared relaxed and happy in her company. We will gladly request Kathryn again!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very mindful of where your pet is able to roam, keeping an eye on backyard gates and any restrictions to where they can venture in the house. I keep your home neat and tidy so you have a seamless return to your furry friends.

Information Kathryn F. would like to know about your pet

Tell me about your pet's personality and temperament - what makes your pet light up? Any special care needs they have for foods, exercise, allergies, separation anxiety, etc.? What is their typical schedule for food, walks and bedtime? What commands does your pet know? What rules do you have in place for your pets? (i.e. are they allowed on furniture, do they need to be crated when alone or at night)? What are your vet's details or any emergency contacts? For housesits - where do you keep your cleaning supplies, garbage bags, etc.? When does the trash go out and do you need any yard or plant care while you are away?

A typical day

A typical day when I am housesitting is really up to you and your furry friends. Let me know of their schedule so I can try to make the transition as smooth as possible. We'll likely go for a morning walk and make sure they are fed, and then I will spend most of my day keeping them company as I work remotely, giving them lots of love. We'll maybe go for another walk in the evening and take care of dinnertime, and then get them ready to settle down for bed. Maybe we will spend some time on the couch for pets and cuddles.
