Pet care experience

Animals makes us better humans.

I haven't been without a dog since age nine, when my parents gave us our first opportunity to develop a bond with a pet, Abby, our beloved English setter. She died the year I graduated from college, and since then I have had two of my own dogs: Gretta, a chocolate lab whom I owned from age 6 weeks until her death at age 13, and Lillie, a springer spaniel who was basically a life-long puppy exploding with energy and a fervor for running, jumping, and all things adventure-related. Sadly, Lillie died in June (at age 13), and we miss her so much. My husband like to travel, so I am not quite ready to adopt another dog yet, but in the meantime, I would love to pet-sit for other dogs so as to be around furry friends who bring so much joy to my life.

Kathryn is a wonderful pet caregiver. She personally watched after my miniature dachshund a countless number of times. My dog was always happy with Katie and cared for well - she watched my dog, fed her, and walked her. I always knew my dog was in good hands with Kathryn. I would highly recommend her for watching animals.

Schedule

I'm a teacher, so I'm mainly interested in walking and caring for pets on the weekends and during the summer months, but I can be available other times as well depending on my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

My job is to provide love, attention, and a safe and enriching learning environment to any pet in my care. I accommodate as needed depending on the needs of the individual animal.

A typical day

We can walk, run, and play in the yard or at the park. I live near the Lake Country Recreation Trail, so there are a lot of great places to smell and explore in the vicinity (we can even go swimming if your dog likes that).

I need to know if your dog is fearful, aggressive, or has any special needs before I can care for them so I know how to accommodate responsibly.
