Hi! My name is Kathryn and pets have always been an important fixture throughout my life growing up - if we didn’t have one we were tending to a relative’s! An appreciation for the special role and relationship dogs provide continues today; they are important members of your family and should treated as such. Although I do not currently have a dog I would love the opportunity to help you look after yours while you are away! Throughout the past 17+ years I have dog sat consistently - both at the client’s home as well as at mine. All opportunities have been via word of mouth, never affiliated with a company or professional agency. There has been such a variety of ages and breeds over the years(from Chihuahuas to 100lb+ German Shepherds, Labradors, and Schnauzer mixes-all with unique personalities) that to identify one experience over all others isn’t possible! Your dog will be have all the attention, affection, and exercise they need during their time with me - I will do my utmost for them(and you!)to be at ease, safe, and content in what may hopefully be their home away from home! I am available most mornings, nights, and weekends for pet sitting, exercise/walks, impromptu stop-ins! My experience does include bathing, ear cleaning, medicine administration, taking to/from vet appointments, etc. To minimize potential stress of a different face and/or place while you are absent, I: - request a phone call, virtual chat or video meeting via Rover beforehand to identify all habits/preferences/concerns/points of contact for emergencies, - duplicate the routine already in place, - and send photos/videos at least once a day. Thank you for your time & attention! I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member in the near future, hopefully!!
