WFH care + companionship

Pet care experience

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 great at providing daily updates with multiple pictures/videos. Our dog also got along well with her golden retriever and enjoyed playing with her throughout the day.

Kathryn was very patient with my shy dog! He warmed up to her quickly. She is a very thoughtful and responsible sitter! Highly recommend!

Kathryn takes such good care of our dog! She provides a ton of detail in the Rover cards, and Toni always looks forward to his time with her at doggy day care and on overnights. Thank you!!

Information Kathryn L. would like to know about your pet

***Dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations, on a flea preventative, fully house trained, spayed/neutered, dog friendly, and not have symptoms of communicable illnesses. Dogs who are symptomatic or found to have fleas/parasites will need to be picked up by you or your emergency contact. Drop-off and pick-up are scheduled by appointment only. If your return travel is delayed, please communicate as soon as possible and we will coordinate an alternative pick-up!*** Please complete your pet’s care instructions with as much detail as possible so I can ensure they have the best stay!

A typical day

My dog is always up for anything—a walk, trip to the dog park, fetch in the backyard, or cuddling on the couch, so we’re pretty flexible with how we spend our days! Please let me know if your dog needs rigorous exercise or is more of a couch potato, what kind of games or toys they like, etc.
