Pet care experience

WFH care + companionship

Hi! I’m a work-from-home dog and cat mom in East Kensington/Fishtown. I adore animals and cherish their company. I know how challenging it can be to leave your dog in someone else’s care and I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun-packed environment while you’re away! I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been pet sitting since college for 17 years! I am also a dog and cat foster with Philly Rescue Angels and ACCT and have experience administering medication and caring for disabled pets.

Kathryn was so attentive with our dog. He always has a blast at her house with the other dogs around, doing outside activities, and sends pictures that show he’s in good hands. Thank you Kathryn!

Kathryn is an amazing sitter for our senior dog. She’s on top of her meds, gets her exercise and sends us pictures. We’ll continue using Kathryn for all of our sitting needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Our 2BR Philly rowhome has a fenced-in backyard and a security + fire alarm system. I have a golden retriever who LOVES canine company. She is happy to be a playmate or just peacefully coexist if that’s what your pup prefers. I’ll stick to your care instructions 100% and send daily updates and photos!
