Loving, Reliable Pet Care
Hi there! I’m Kathryn, a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and sizes. I specialize in caring for dogs (from tiny cuddle bugs to medium breeds) and have over 11 years of experience with cats as well. I offer in-home dog care, boarding, walks, drop-in visits, and daycare, and I always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort levels, and unique quirks, so I take time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether that means playtime, quiet snuggles, or long walks, I’ll make sure your pet’s needs come first — and I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax knowing they’re in caring hands. Please note that we can only accept dogs <30lbs for home stays as our dog Francine gets along best with dogs close to her size. ALLERGY ALERT: I'm very allergic to rabbits. Unfortunately, I won't be able to care for fur babies who share a home with bunnies.

Ratings and reviews
We absolutely loved Katie and Michael and will be asking for their care again in the future!! Thank you for everything! 😊 ♥️
Gemma loved her stay! Kate and Michael treated her like a princess and she almost didn't want to say goodbye to them. They were responsive, flexible with our shy dog, and treated her like their own. Thank you - she will be back!
kathryn was so great with gouda even though gouda never wanted to walk - she was so patient and kind with my pup i had complete peace of mind when gouda was with her!
George was in good hands and Kathryn was very communicative! :)
Kathryn was terrific! Our 17 year old kitty is usually shy and takes forever to get comfortable with someone new. Kathryn had her greeting her and cuddling in just 2 days! It was so reassuring to know Midnight was bringing do well cared for and happy. very highly recommend Kathryn.
Kathryn and Michael were amazing and communicative the entire process. We got photo updates throughout the day and felt good knowing Cashew was well taken care of. I could tell he felt right at home with them. I would absolutely call Kathryn and Michael again to watch Cashew!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. For dogs, whether it’s in-home care, boarding, walks, drop-ins, or daycare, I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love, while sticking to their routines for feeding, bathroom breaks, and playtime. I adjust activities to each dog’s energy level, personality, and comfort, and I always provide a safe, clean environment. For cats, I offer in-home day visits only, so they can stay in the comfort of their own home. I follow each cat’s routine carefully, providing feeding, litter box care, playtime, and quiet companionship as needed. I make sure they feel safe and stress-free, and I provide updates with photos and notes so owners can relax while they’re away.
Pets
A typical day
For dogs, I love keeping them active and happy with walks, indoor play, fetch, tug-of-war, and gentle training games to keep their minds engaged. I tailor activities to each dog’s energy level and personality, making sure they have plenty of fun while staying safe. For cats (in-home visits), I focus on play and enrichment that keeps them stimulated without stress. This can include interactive toys, feather wands, puzzle feeders, or quiet cuddle time for cats who prefer a calmer approach. I pay close attention to each cat’s personality to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved during every visit.
