A Full-Service Carer

July Update: I’m currently sidelined with a fractured ankle so cannot accept new walk requests until around mid-August at the earliest. Thanks for your patience! Hi, I’m Kathryn, a transplant from the East Coast with a special love of animals. I say special because I was never allowed to have pets growing up so, for the past several years, I’ve been making up for lost time. I’ve cared for spry and senior dogs, aloof and engaged kitties, tailoring my efforts to each one’s specific needs. Whether you need someone to walk and play with your pooch or be a loving companion to your furry friend when you can’t be there, I’ll slip seamlessly into their routine, minimizing disruption with snuggles and attention. My “leave no trace” approach means that you’ll return to a house in pristine condition, with sheets and towels laundered, the bed remade, the vacuuming done, etc. so you can enjoy a carefree reunion with your pet. I believe that my professionalism and caring, detail-oriented methods set me apart. I’ve traveled the world to care for peoples’ cats and dogs while their owners are away, regularly returning to a community in France where my network has grown organically through word of mouth recommendations. When I’m not caring for animals, you can find me hiking on one of the many majestic trails this region has to offer or engaging in creative pursuits like jewelry making and design.

This was the second time that Kathryn has watched over Peanut. We never have to worry when she watches over our kitten. Peanut is always so comfortable and playful with Kathryn - it makes it easier to enjoy our time away when we know she is in such good hands. Not only does Kathryn take great care of Peanut, our house is somehow always more sparkling when we return which makes for a great homecoming.

Kathryn was wonderful! She has all the qualities you want for someone staying in your home - warm, kind, responsible, clean, conscientious and responsive - but most importantly, our dog & cat LOVE her and it was clear they received a lot of TLC while we were away!

If I could give 10 stars on this site, I would. Kathryn is the most caring sitter I’ve ever had. I will certainly use her again. She’s the best!

Let me know what special requirements your pet needs so that I can tailor their care appropriately. I know that a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t the right tactic and am keen to provide your pet with whatever they need to feel safe and happy.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
