Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible & Experienced!
I am an experienced pet owner and shelter volunteer and would be happy to care for your furbabies. I believe our pets are our family and treat them as such :) As a Rover user myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable while you're away from them. You can expect punctual visits, detailed updates, and prompt communication from me. For house-sitting, I will be at your home with your pet for the majority of the day. Bringing in mail/packages, trash, light cleaning, watering plants, etc...house-sitting goes beyond just taking care of your pet. It includes making sure you return to a secure, clean home 😊. I grew up with both dogs and cats and currently live with my two rescue cats, Tuna & Tater Tot. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages/sizes and administering meds when needed. Please feel free to message me to schedule an initial meet & greet. I'd love to meet you and your pet to ensure it is a good fit for all!

Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to firstly ensure your pet is safe and taken care of. I will prioritize communication with you while you're away, so expect cute photos and details about their behavior and the visit.
Ratings and reviews
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathryn and the care she gave our two dogs! From the moment we left, we felt completely confident that they were in the best possible hands. One of our dogs is a high-energy puppy, and Catherine was incredibly patient, attentive, and loving with him. She probably threw her arm out by indulging him in his love of playing fetch with a ball. :). She also gave our senior dog the extra care and attention he needed, which meant so much to us. He was given belly rubs whenever he wanted one. It was clear throughout our entire trip that both dogs were genuinely loved and cared for. Kathryn was also an exceptional communicator. She sent us multiple updates every day, along with so many pictures and videos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and made us feel connected to our dogs while we were away. It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to enjoy a trip without worrying about your pups because you know they are being treated like family. We came home to two happy, well-loved dogs, and we are so grateful to Kathryn. We would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Kate is hands down the absolute BEST!! We couldn’t have had a better experience with her watching our dogs while we were out of town. Her detailed communication/updates was much appreciated. Our dogs LOVED her, and she took such great care of our house too. We am so thrilled that we found Kate!!! I would rate her a million stars if I could!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kate took wonderful care of Sophie (and my house). I appreciate all of the love and care she provides and her updates are fantastic!
Kathryn is great with our dog Kirby! She always sends pictures as well as updates as to how the day went. She goes the extra mile to make sure Kirby is happy and we are comfortable knowing he is well taken care of. She leaves the house cleaner than when she got there, and is very flexible when our plans and timing changes. We love her and highly recommend her, especially to families and dogs that don't do great with separation.
Kate is just wonderful! Our puppy and home were perfect when we got back from our trip. I highly recommend Kate and will definitely use her again! We got updates and pictures twice a day! Thank you Kate for making our vacation a joy.
Kate is wonderful! Five stars is not nearly enough! She formed such a close bond with our pooch and took wonderful care of her and our house. She sends thorough and frequent updates (with pics and video). She kept our pup on her regular schedule for meals, walks, play time, snacks, etc. We didn't worry about a thing with Kate taking care of our girl and our house. We returned from our trip with the house in better shape than when we left. We give her the highest possible recommendation and look forward to having Kate over again soon.

Schedule
I am available for housesitting, drop-ins, and walks. I keep my calendar updated regularly. If you see that my availability doesn't perfectly match with your needs, please message me to see if we can work something out!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsKathryn can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- So my visits with them can be as close to their normal schedule as possible, an initial meet & greet allows us to walk through their routine together and get familiar with your home. I know being away from their owner can be stressful, so my goal is to replicate what they are used to and do my best to help them feel comfortable in my presence.
