Pet care experience

Happy pups, Happy Owners

I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have had three dogs that my family and I have cared for ourselves. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any other special care. I’m respectful of each home and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about how amazing Kathryn is when it comes to caring for our pets. She treats them like they are part of her family and gives them so much love, attention, and patience. She makes sure they get plenty of exercise by taking them on walks and playing with them in the lawn. She keeps them clean and comfortable with baths, and she is always attentive to making sure they are fed and have plenty of fresh water. What means the most to me, though, is the love she gives them. She’ll sit on the porch with them, cuddle and love all over them, and happily let them climb all over her. You can truly see how much she enjoys being with them and how much they love being around her. I have complete confidence in her ability to care for pets. She is responsible, gentle, loving, and genuinely enjoys making sure every pet in her care feels safe, happy, and loved. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets as if they were her own.

Schedule

My schedule is currently very flexible, as I don’t start college until August 24th, so I’m available throughout the day for your pets! Once classes begin, I’ll be available in the afternoons and evenings. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m available after 4:00 PM, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available after 3:00 PM. I’m completely available on Fridays, as well as most weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care for your pet.

I’d love to know about your pet’s personality, daily routine, favorite activities, and anything they may be nervous or uncomfortable with. It’s also helpful to know about feeding schedules, medications, special instructions, and how they typically interact with people or other animals. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for!
