Fenced yard. High energy. Loving.
Pet care experience
We owned medium-large dogs all throughout my childhood, including a Huskey named Kiska, and a German Shepard that us kids name Shep. Creative right? Since I was 16 really was when I started taking small dog sitting jobs and have done so over the years on and off. I recently started again for a friend when she got a puppy and realized I'm good at it and really enjoyed myself. (I'm pretty positive her dog did too) I'm loving and patient and I believe dogs really are man's best friend and for good reason. I'm described by loved ones often as a high energy person and I love to be outside in our beautiful city. Being able to provide love, exercise and playtime to a pup's day is my goal. Having a 7 month old puppy myself now, I have to have even more energy than before. He is a sweet golden doodle who is so smart and loving and loves his walks, fetch in the yard and his playdates with other dogs.
Reviews
Great outdoor area and very easy to work with. Was happy to use her to board!
Great outdoor space for the dogs to play! Our dog had a great time with Kathryn.

Safety, trust & environment
I love to meet with animals before a stay, visit or walk. It's always important to me that your loved pet is comfortable and compatible with me. I take this time to also talk about their needs and routines. All dogs will be different so this is important to me so they feel loved and safe with and around me and my home.
Home
Information Kathryn H. would like to know about your pet
Everything and anything you can provide me with. Any routines they have. Feeding times, exercise, how they are with other animals/kids/people, are they in training, what commands you use if any (training hand signs vary so it's nice to know to stay consistent for them)
A typical day
Walks, fetch and playdates are a favorite for my dog. But we also love to snuggle on the couch too. The reason I like to meet an animal first is so I can learn more about them and give them what they need.

I work very part-time from home at the moment and my schedule is very flexible which is necessary for walks and playtime with my own pup. Rain or shine, the walks must happen!
