Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pets

Hi there! I’m the biggest animal lover you’ll meet, with years of experience pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for people’s homes. I know how big of a deal it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility to heart. You can rest assured your pet will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m active, dependable, and happy to do it all—from quick midday snuggles and potty breaks to long romps around the neighborhood or park. My schedule is flexible, and I have plenty of time to dedicate to making sure your pup feels happy, safe, and cared for. I can guarantee your fur baby will have a new best friend! As a former vet tech, I’m also experienced in handling a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and medical needs, including giving medication and caring for high-needs dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every dog like my own, and their safety is always my top priority. I always use a secure leash, stay alert to my surroundings, and am mindful of other animals and people. I’m also a stickler for following your instructions exactly as given—your rules are my rules!

Leaving your buddy behind when you travel is always stressful, and it was such a relief to find Kathryn and know that she was taking care of my cat so considerately. Kathryn was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. She truly went above and beyond to help care for my cat. My tortie can be a bit slow to warm up, and she took the time to get to know her and her needs, coax her into playing, and spend extra care and attention on her. She kept me informed about my cat's eating habits and well-being and did a great job both caring for her and assuaging my worry while traveling. I found her to be kind and responsible, and I'm looking forward to booking her again when I take my next trip!

Kathryn was timely, communicative and very understanding. She was very professional in her handling of an anxious and very shy dog. I would definitely recommend her.

Kathryn was amazing with our furry family members. We have a new puppy who is a little timid and she helped him open right up and feel comfortable during her stay at our house. She gave each of the animals (one cat, one kitten, one puppy) individualized care and cuddles, administered medication to our cat, left our house super clean, and was super communicative with us to help coordinate care during our travel day home. I would trust Kathryn with our house and animals anytime and look forward to working with her again!

Kathryn has been a huge help and is super reliable! Our dog just adores her and is so happy after their weekly visit. It is great to know we have found a responsible, sweet, dog loving person who we can trust to come to our home and be our dog's BFF! Thank you, Kathryn!

I’d love to know your dog’s unique quirks, which commands they know, how they get along with other dogs, and their typical activity level. Any info you can share will help me make sure our time together is safe, fun, and stress-free. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend!
