Kathryn can care for
Availability
I am retired and home most of the day, all days. I have a few volunteer commitments but they only take me away for a few hours at a time. I am home to be able to love, comfort and care for your furbabies all the rest of the day and night. I do not invite family or friends over when I have your baby so that there is no risk of any external anxiety or overwhelming for your pet.

Safety, trust & environment
First, I never take more then 1 families pets at a time. I believe in quality over quantity. I want to make sure your furbabies are safe at all times so I will never have another families animals in my home at the same time. I am skilled and experienced with having cats and dogs together but only from the same family. I take the utmost care with anyone's pets as if they were my own. This includes making sure they are safe inside and outside the home, if necessary. When walking your dog, I avoid other people's dogs and don't allow "saying hello" as we can not predict how other people's animals will react. Whether catching all the smells or playing in the fenced dog run, your dog will be my entire focus. I want your babies to be happy, healthy and comfortable so you can know they are in good hands when you are away. I will of course send you pictures and updates so you can feel assured they are happy and healthy.
Information Kathryn G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about any medical conditions, personality traits, favorite places to lay, sleep and what your pet would love most to be content and comfortable whether in your home or mine. Please bring your pets food, treats and their bed. This makes sure that they are only getting what keep their body balanced and have their own bed to surround them with the smells of home.
A typical day
I love to make sure all furbabies are stimulated mentally and physically. Between playing fetch, with toys, enrichment activities and checking out the local smells and hot spots, your pet won't be bored. Plus being retired means they get my attention all day! There is a fenced dog run on the property and I will take your pup there for some off leash smell time. I always make sure that no other dog enters during this time.

Pet care experience
I have raised and taken care of animals my whole life. I have had dogs from only weeks old to being with them in their last senior moments. I understand that dogs are members of the family and that they bring joy, entertainment and love. I was with the pet therapy program at a children's hospital for 10 years and know how much a dog and their love can affect the humans they come in contact with positively.
Cat care experience
Kathryn also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
i was truly happy with Kathryn, my dogs loved her. she made me feel very comfortable and at ease,First time leaving my dogs. i am grateful.
Oh my! What a great dog sitter, and wonderful person! Kathryn took amazing care of our Pup Millie! She was Super committed to the care and communication during our trip. I totally 100% recommend Kathryn as a dog sitter! She really cares deeply for the pets in her care.
Kathryn was amazing with our senior Golden over the Holiday break. She even took the initiative to research and purchase some doggie socks and hot spot medicine for a hot spot on her foot we have been trying to get rid of. Our neighbor even ran into Kathryn on a walk and couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful she was and wanted her number for her pups. I’m so thankful I found someone I trust and feel so comfortable with in my home with my Daisy. Will definitely book her again for our next trip!
Kathryn was so sweet and accommodating! Our dog, Cocoa, took to her right away (and Cocoa doesn't like most strangers)! Kathryn is super-responsive, and though we only had one doggie day care day with her, I can see why she has so many repeat clients. We would definitely use Kathryn again if we are ever in the Escondido area!
