Pet care experience

Loves Long Walks in the Park

As a former dog owner, I have lots of experience with care! I am not in the position to have my own furry friend at the moment, so I would love to spend some time with yours and help out in the process. I’ve been active on Rover for a few years, and have thoroughly enjoyed meeting new pets and people in the process.

Kathryn was fantastic! She responded quickly, showed up right on time, and took my puppy Luna for a nice walk along the river with pictures. The entire process was seamless from start to finish - highly recommend Kathryn!

Kathryn and Ben were great with my dog Porota, and were very flexible at accommodating when my returning flight was delayed.

Kathryn was super responsive and sent great updates and photos throughout Pippi’s stay. Pippi was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Kathryn is so nice, and I know Pippi is already looking forward to seeing her again next month!

Kathryn was great! Good communication and she asked important questions about what Giles would need during his stay. Giles was well taken care of and the photo updates were prompt and always featured a happy pup.

Kathryn was great with Bob! She sent photos and updates regularly, and made me feel so comfortable taking care of our shy dog. I would have Kathryn sit for us again, without hesitation.

Schedule

On weekdays I am an early riser and can devote time to care in the morning and evening, plus a potty break around lunch. On weekends I tend to spend more time outside, which is always better with company.

Safety, trust & environment

My partner and I share our dog friendly home. It has a small yard in the back, with numerous parks and walking paths close by.

A typical day

A typical day consists of 3 walks; morning, afternoon and evening. When permitted I like to incorporate some dog friendly activities into my day so no one gets left behind.
