I want to be a stay at home dog mom
Pet care experience
My fur baby is my everything! I'v always had a dog whether it be my family's or my own. At the age of 8, I became responsible for my first puppy, a docile, 130 pound Saint Bernard, named Calliope. Growing up I was a competitive horseback rider for 10 years and was responsible for my own horse; a stunning thoroughbred, named Lady Jean. I trained with her 6 days a week and competed in Dressage shows. At the age of 20, I adopted my first kitten at the MSPCA, named Barbecue. Now, I have my own dog, a Belgian Malinois, named Boston. Boston and I went to training for a year and a half and he currently knows 65 commands/tricks. My goal for Boston is to become a therapy dog. Through Boston I've made lasting connections with pet owners in MA, San Diego, and RI and they've entrusted me to walk and sit their family members. Now, back in the Northeast, I am relaunching my business in Exeter, NH! In addition to the above, I am studying for my master's degree at Boston University.
Reviews
Kathryn is a great dog walker! She gained my dog’s trust easily, and was very flexible with scheduling. I would highly recommend her.
Kathryn is absolutely a perfect dog walker. She came by for an initial meet and greet and I could immediately tell she was responsible, caring and fun. She hit it off with Koji right away and the next day she showed up right on time for a great 30 minute walk. Could not have been better. Will definitely rebook with her next time
Kathryn was amazing! She helped me out in a pinch! I received photos of my puppy and updates throughout the visit! She is awesome! Deff will be booking again soon!
Kathryn is great with our baby boy! She treats him like a pup of her own. She knows just what to do when he’s being lazy & not in the mood to walk - she improvises. She’s very sweet & flexible!

Skills
Information Kathryn O. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog up to date with all its shots? Is your dog on flea/tick medication? Is your dog on a treat free diet? Is your dog dominant or submissive?
A typical day
In San Diego, the babies went to Dusty Rhodes Dog Park, OB Dog Beach, Fiesta Island, Sunset Cliffs Park and on hikes with parent permission. In Newport, I go to Easton's Beach, Second Beach, Newport Dog Park, and Portsmouth Dog Park. I would love for you to share with me your dog's favorite hangout spots. If not into extreme sports, it's whatever makes your fur baby the happiest, whether it be a walk/trot around the block to pick up/drop off pee mail, relax under an umbrella on the beach, or watch their favorite G rated movie. In addition, parents will be updated with photos and videos of their fur babies having a blast.
