Pet care experience

Lv for pets throughout the year <3

My pet care journey began in Virginia when my eldest daughter and I started pet sitting for dogs and birds while she was in middle school. We had so much fun bonding over our love for animals, and it became a special experience for both of us. That same love is what inspired Santa to bring Buddy, our dachshund, into our lives—and he’s been filling our hearts with joy ever since. Buddy just turned 18 years old and is truly part of our family. I also care for my second daughter’s two cats whenever she travels. She’s a registered Rover pet care sitter, and watching her inspired me to get involved in my own neighborhood. Now, I’m excited to offer pet care services locally and bring the same love and attention to other people’s pets as I do for my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

If want to know how your pet(s) is doing (especially if you have to be away for long stretches of time), I can put your heart at ease by communicating with you frequently. I will text photos of your pet to you during the day/night to let you know that I just started/finished a drop-in/walk with your pet or even call you, so your pet can hear your voice on the phone.

I would highly recommend Kathryn to care for your pets. She tended to our Umbrella Cockatoo while we were traveling. She was punctual, followed instructions to a tee, sent photos to reassure us, and was pleasant to work with.

Dog Walking • Mar 02, 2026

If you are looking for a kind, punctual, loving dog walker, Kathryn is perfect. We had our first meeting and she got to know my dog and then we started taking dog walks while I was working. She’s amazing and builds a relationship with your dog which I really like.I highly highly recommend Kathryn.
