Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted pet & home care connection
I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and welcoming environment for both pets and the homes I care for. My approach is attentive and thoughtful—I pay close attention to routines, preferences, and small details that help animals feel secure and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. Experience-wise I have been a cat owner since I was a small child, have experience fostering litters of kittens, and currently have 2 adult Balinese of my I care for since they were 4 months old. I have experience caring for geckos (feeding live crickets!), hamsters, and bird care. I am also mom to doodle half-siblings, caring for them since they were puppies. I’m respectful of the homes I’m trusted with. I practice the "leave things better than you found them" mantra by keeping spaces clean and organized, following instructions accurately, and communicating regularly as scheduled so owners feel confident and worry-free while they’re away. Reliability and consistency are important to me. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s hands. Above all, I truly enjoy building connections—with both pets and their people—and making sure everything runs smoothly so you can have peace of mind. Contact me to discuss your care needs!

Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to schedule regular dog walks, play dates or overnight care in your home for your dogs. I am also available to schedule cat check-ins/playtime. My goal is for you to return to a home and/or pet better/happier than you left it.
Ratings and reviews
Kathryn has taken care of my dog, Peanut Butter, many times over the past few years, and we could not be happier! Peanut Butter is a very choosy dog, but she loved Kathryn right from the get go, and gets the full body wags every time she sees her. In fact, all I have to is say her name and PB is ready to go! Kathryn is incredibly calm, responsible, caring, and understands our dog's unique needs. She is clearly someone who loves dogs and creates special bonds with those in her care. I cannot recommend her enough!
I highly recommend Kit as a very reliable pet sitter. I have known Kit for 20+ years. She is reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. Kit has cared for my pets- two energetic dogs. Every time I've been impressed by her thorough care. She ensures they're fed on schedule, walked regularly, and given plenty of playtime and attention. It's nice to return home to happy, healthy animals, and a clean home. Kit is responsible and trustworthy. She will communicate promptly, follows instructions diligently, and takes the initiative if unexpected situations arise. She has a calm demeanor. Kit provides great care and is very professional. I highly recommend Kit.
