Life long pet owner

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets my whole life, from cats and dogs to horses, fish, birds, reptiles and smaller critters! I can offer your pets friendly, loving care in their own home or mine. They will be walked, cuddled and played with, whatever their needs, their happiness is important to me while you are away. I can text photos to you of your pets each day to keep you updated! I’ve experience with small and large breed dogs and love a good walk as much as they do! I’m happy to come to your house and look after all of your pets - cats, dogs, lizards, fish etc!! If you prefer that I have your pet at my house, I can offer a clean home with older kids. They’ll be treated like my own, with love and respect.

Great like always! We can always count on her and it’s one less thing to worry about when going away. She provides updates and treats Rocky like her own ❤️

Kathryn was awesome. She took great care of my geriatric dogs and I never worried about them when she was with them. We have used her about 8 times now and will continue booking her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large garden for pet to enjoy plus a fenced in pool area, so if you have a pet that likes to swim there would be opportunity for them to cool off in the summer! Your pet would only be crated if you recommended it for the hours I'd be at work. If your pet is used to sleeping on the bed or the couch, I will accommodate them to whatever they are used to at home. Any medications would be given as per your advice. My house is an easy going family home, plenty of space and your pet would be treated like our own with lots of love.

Information Kathryn J. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if your dog is quiet, elderly, young and rambunctious! Whether they like long or short walks and anything that they have a preference for. If they are allowed treats, or dietary restrictions, or if there are furniture restrictions! If they take time to get to know you or generally shy at first. Whether they have fears of anything or a particular liking for something!

A typical day

When the weather is good I like to be outside in the garden and your pet will be there with me. Always with my attention! There are plenty of sticks and balls to chase or they can just hang out and be by my side, depends on your pets level of energy. If your dog is happy to ride in the car then I am happy to take them to one of the many nearby trails for a walk. Or if you prefer I can keep the walks to the neighborhood. If your pet is staying with me I’d make sure that their favorite toys are with them ready for fun.
