Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover, free to a good home!
Currently I do not have a pet, but I love animals and love spending time with animals, and if I can help you in the process that's even better! I started caring for animals when I was in high school, where I was a regular dog walker for a family friend for two years. She needed a dog walker as she was incapable of doing so herself, and her husband was occupied most of the time with her care. I understand that every family with a pet has unique reasons for needing help caring for their pets, and want to help meet those needs! I have done on-and-off pet and house sitting ever since, but started regularly cat and house sitting for a family in the last few years. I have loved bonding with both the cat and the family in the process! He took some time warming up to me as he is wary of new people, but it made it all the more rewarding as he warmed up to me! I love both cats and dogs! Happy to work with either, and houses who may have both!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
At the moment, my services have mostly focused on feeding a cat, playing with him, checking in when he's feeling more shy and reclusive, and cleaning out his litter box daily. When the family requests a house-sit on top of that, I will often bring in their mail, water their plants, and check around the house to make sure everything is in order.
Ratings and reviews
We were very happy with Karthyn watching our old dog, Leroy. She sent us plenty of updates, which is always appreciated. Leroy seemed to enjoy her company during her house sitting and he seemed very happy when we got home. Kathryn took amazing care of him! We would definitely use her again.
I have known Kathryn since she was a child. She has been taking care of our beloved cat Ollie for a couple of years now whenever we go away for extended vacations ( up to 3 weeks) or just weekend trips to the cottage.. Kathryn has great qualities to be a pet sitter- she is kind, she is patient, she is dutiful and punctual... Kathryn spends lots of time with Ollie when we are away so that he never feels lonely...She really cares about our Ollie as she did with her own family pets... I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver.

I have a rather flexible schedule as I am currently between jobs, having just finished a seasonal job. My schedule is flexible and I have a great deal of availability!
