Information Kathryn M. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog active or would they rather hang or cuddle? Do they have any allergies? On trails, do they have strong voice recall or must be leashed at all times? (I will never let your dog off-leash without prior consent/communication/trust built with your dog).

A typical day

I'm an active person and hike daily, so it just depends on your dog's preferences! Each dog has their own special quirks, energy levels and interests. We can go on long or short walks, explore trails, go to the beach, play inside or outside, or just chill...The world is our oyster...

Pups in Reliable Hands

Pet care experience

With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I bring a unique blend of patience, passion, and expertise to every pet I care for. I have experience training puppies and am able to provide gentle, attentive care for older dogs with mobility or medical needs. I also have a knack for understanding canine behavior, ensuring every pup feels safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a sweet senior, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs.

If you want someone to love and care for your beloved pet as much as you do then Kathryn is your person! She was a great communicator from the very start. Kept me informed and updated daily with the best photos of my 13 yr old aussie Finn. He has slowed down, can’t hear forgets he just had dinner 😅 Kathryn was simply the best. The house was tidy and my pup was happy! I will definitely call upon Kathryn for my next trip.

Kathryn was AMAZING with our dogs! It was clear she genuinely loved them, and we could tell she gave them the love and attention they need. She sent amazing photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at peace knowing they were in such good hands. Our dogs absolutely loved her, and we would definitely hire her again in the future. Highly recommend!
