Safety, trust & environment

I have a large home and can make dogs comfortable by learning from the owner what the dog prefers. I do not mind dogs being on my furniture and am happy to bring in a dog bed or crate if that is what the owner prefers. I have lots of experience walking, feeding dogs, and providing medication as my dogs needed that.

Information Kathryn M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the basics of your dog's personality-does your dog like other dogs, is your dog anxious. I do not have pets or children.

A typical day

I will take dogs who stay with me outside multiple times. I have a large park nearby and can toss the ball or whatever the dog prefers.

Responsible and Former Dog Owner

Pet care experience

I was fortunate to have two black sister labs, Annabelle and Lucy, who lived until 14 and 15 years old. We loved them dearly and took them for multiple walks every day and gave them lots of love. I know how to handle large dogs as I often had to walk both of the girls on my own. I am responsible, reliable, and absolutely adore dogs. My husband also loves dog and will help as well. While my calendar is typically for weekends only, don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need dog care during the week. Depending on my work schedule, I can let you know if I am available to help.

Katheryn was absolutely amazing with her care of our two greyhounds. She was very communicative and attentive to their needs. I highly recommend her and her husband and will trust her with our pets any time! Thank you!
