Dog walker/runner, dog/cat sitter
Pet care experience
I have experience pet-sitting for my friends and neighbors over the years, as well as looking after my own dog and cat. I also love to take dogs for runs, and have experience volunteering to walk or run adoptable dogs at the local animal shelter. Additionally, I have 2-3 years of experience working at a dog daycare and kennel, which provided me with a lot of experience handling dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience administering medicine to both cats and dogs.
Reviews
Kathryn let know when she was there and when she left, took plenty of photos and my cats looked so happy. Thank you
I booked Kathryn to house sit my cat over the holidays and she did an amazing job. She was extremely communicative, reliable, and a true animal lover - so it was easy to trust her. I will definitely be reaching out to Kathryn again for future needs. Thank you for everything!
Kathryn did an awesome job looking after my kitties. She provided daily updates and pics which were great. More importantly, the cats really warmed up to her and received lots of attention.
Kathryn has house/dog sat for us many times!! Everything is always in perfect order and she sends lots of updates about our pup. Highly recommend.
About Kathryn H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am super attentive to and respectful of any rules the owner has regarding their house or pet. I am more than happy to help clean up any messes (if provided the supplies), and I’d also be willing to help reinforce any type of training/commands that your dog needs!
Information Kathryn H. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, I love all dogs! Please let me know if your dog has any special health issues or if they are aggressive towards other dogs.
A typical day
If your dog likes to run, I’d be happy to run your dog anywhere between 2-6 miles (whatever you and your dog are comfortable with)! If your dog is friendly with other dogs, I’d be happy to take the dog over to the nearest dog park. Otherwise, I am happy to take your dog for however long of a walk you’d like! Additionally, if you’d like your dog to work on socialization, I’m happy to sit in a crowded park or walk your dog through a crowded area to help develop those skills!

Availability
I work full-time throughout the week, so I am available early mornings, evenings, and overnights throughout the week. I work remote typically 2x a week, and would be available those days to stay with your pet during the day or give an afternoon walk. I am also available anytime on weekends. I have a (large) dog-friendly dog. ONLY if the owner is interested, and a safe introduction goes well, I’d be happy to walk them together or allow our dogs to play in my fenced backyard.
