Dog Trainer since 2016 😊
Pet care experience
I am very compassionate by nature, preferring compromise to confrontation. Animals, in my experience, respond to gentle, but firm, interactions. I have seen first-hand a more forceful approach to discipline, and our dog would respond to me before them. I have had dogs (and animals in general) for as long as I can remember. They calm me. I love how, no matter how rough a day I’m having, petting a puppy makes my worries disappear. I'm currently a Board and Train, Dog Trainer and absolutely love my job. I have experience with the initial stages of obedience (sit, down, stay, leave it, drop it, ect) through more advanced basic behaviors (basics with distance & distractions as well as heel & wait). Long-term, I really want to continue enjoying what I do. I can’t imagine anything more perfect than getting to play with puppies all day. My goal is to eventually start my own training business.
Reviews
Provided a great service to our family while we were away. Glad my cats had Katie to look out for them! Very descriptive after every visit and provided photos! Would use again!
Once again, Kathryn provided excellent care of our cats. She gave updates when she was there, and it gave us comfort to know our cats were getting what they needed. We’ll definitely be booking with Kathryn again!
Kathryn was awesome to plan and book with. Will be booking in the future!
Kathryn is simply amazing. She is very thorough and has amazing communication and advise to help your furry loved ones. Highly recommend using her to watch your pups.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced in backyard that has been secured. I do crate all dogs at night and while I’m not home for their safety as well as other dogs safety. They take turns on coming out to play, lounge and go for walks daily. I’m also available for walking and making sure that any training you may have put in stays maintained. I would also love to stop by to check in on your dogs, cats, chickens or even goats to ensure that they are happy, fed and, of course, safe.

Information Kathryn H. would like to know about your pet
I just need to know a few things for safety. Are they currently up to date on all of they’re vaccinations? (Will need to see vaccination invoice from a veterinarian, but feel free to block out your address.) Do they have any allergies, food or environmental, that you’re aware of? Are they currently taking any medications? Have they ever escaped, or attempted to escape by digging, jumping or climbing a fence? Have they ever bitten a person or dog?
A typical day
We go for walks daily around the neighborhood and if they’re good on a leash we might even make a trip out to a nearby park. We’ll take advantage of the large backyard for midday play sessions and come in to hangout for pets and possibly even a good brushing.
