OSU Grad Student & Dog Lover 🐾
Pet care experience
I believe that I would be a good choice because I'm home pretty regularly and I thoroughly enjoy spending time with animals. In the past, I have worked at both a dog kennel and rescue facility for a few years and have raised dogs my whole life. I have been on Rover for almost 8 years at this point and have established a routine method of caretaking that is effective in helping your pup feel at home with us. I'm a true dog lover and carry no preference for breed, age or ability; I’ve sat for pups as mighty as a 195 lb mastiff to a pair of tiny 2 lb, 3 month old cavipoos. I’m also very comfortable with administering medications and meeting extra needs for dogs with disabilities. I would possibly take your pup to the dog park too (if you'd like and if time allows) and I’m pretty flexible with last minute requests and cancellations. I am a PhD graduate student (Geography @ OSU) and I work as a housekeeper sparingly therefore my house is clean, puppy safe and outsmarted. I have two dogs and both are friendly and happy poodle mixes. There's Miss Kitty (Cockapoo age 14) and Broadus (Yorkie Poo age 7). Feel free to message me with any questions you may have!
Reviews
Kathryn is the best, plain and simple. Our dog isn’t the easiest to deal with but she makes it seem easy anyway. I absolutely trust her to take care of him, and she’s my first request every single time.
This girl is amazing 🤩 She has been taking care of Minnie for almost 3 years. Kathryn, thank you for being so patient with us every time we have a flight delay or some inconvenience. Minnie loves you! 🐾 🥰
She’s the best and Pandora knows it!
Thank you so much Kathryn! Huey always has the best time when you’re watching him and we always feel like he’s in safe hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in backyard that I regularly make sure is secure and I *never* leave pups out back on their own. I have extra crates and multiple rooms to separate pups, if needed.
Home
Information Kathryn F. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pup has any special needs, medications, quirky personality traits that would help me better care for them. I do not discriminate against breeds, but I do ask for transparency around temperament.
A typical day
I spend a lot of time at home with the pups I host. I enjoy gardening a lot and spend great lengths of time out in the backyard, particularly in the warmer season with pups working on my yard and playing with guest pups. I do take regular walks in the evening after dinner with pups as owners allow.
