I truly treat each dog as the individual they are. Some are bold explorers. Some are thoughtful observers. Some love a purposeful walk, while others prefer a slower pace with time to sniff and take it all in. I adjust each visit based on age, health, temperament, and your household routines — meeting your dog where they are and supporting what helps them thrive.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m especially attentive to patterns — what helps a dog feel calm, confident, and engaged. Safety and steady leadership are always my priorities. I’m mindful at doors, leashes, transitions, and the environment around us so your dog’s experience is secure, structured, and positive.

Information Kathryn P. would like to know about your pet

Every dog is unique, and I love learning what makes yours thrive. Before our first visit, I’d appreciate knowing: • Any routines or cues they’re used to • Favorite rewards, toys, or motivators • Triggers or sensitivities (doorbells, other dogs, delivery trucks, etc.) • Energy level — are we power-walking or sniff-savoring? • Health notes, medications, or mobility considerations And honestly — tell me what you love most about them. It helps me understand their personality right away. The more I know, the more thoughtfully I can tailor their care.

A typical day

I’m steady, reliable, and genuinely invested in your dog’s wellbeing — and I’ll always let you know about a new favorite sniff spot or a moment that made me smile. If you’re looking for someone dependable, observant, and committed to helping your dog have an excellent day, I’d love to connect.

Personalized Care

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Kat — and I offer personalized walks and enrichment as a trusted extension of your dog’s care team. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. They’re family. Clear communication and consistency matter, and I take that seriously. Every visit is an opportunity to build trust — with both you and your pup. You’ll receive thoughtful updates that include notes on energy, potty, behavior, and anything I’m noticing (because yes, I absolutely pay attention to the details).

Kathryn P. is truly one of a kind! She is incredibly sweet and attentive—not just to me, but especially to my dog, Patches, who absolutely adores her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving hands whenever I’m away. Kathryn is also extremely thorough with every visit. She always sends detailed updates along with plenty of pictures, which I genuinely look forward to. It’s clear she goes above and beyond in every aspect of her care. What really sets her apart is her attentiveness—she actually caught signs of an illness before I even realized something was wrong with Patches. That level of care and awareness is priceless. On top of everything, she’s just an incredibly kind person—she even did my dishes one day while dog sitting! I can’t recommend Kathryn enough. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly treats your pet like her own.

Kathryn was amazing with my pup! She went above and beyond not only during her visit but she made the effort to come by and do a meet and greet a few days prior. She took very good care of my pup and home. She kept in communication leading up to, during and after her visit. 10/10 recommend, we will absolutely book her again!

Kathryn was amazing with Kočka! During the meet and greet, I knew Kočka would be in great hands as they hit it off right away. Being that it was our first time leaving him for over a week, we were a bit worried. But Kathryn made sure to send us lots of pictures and videos! We highly recommend her and will use her services on our next trip!
