Cat/dog/animal lover & aficionado

Pet care experience

Hi neighbors! I’ve owned and cared for cats/dogs for most of my life, and treasure them dearly. This won’t just be a task or a job but I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty care and nurturing, as well as play and explore time. Every animal is different and has its own unique personality. I recognize that and want to make sure your pet is thoroughly tended to and loved while they are waiting for your return! I’ll make sure to heed any instructions and advice from the parent(s). Gentleness is important to me, and I want to give each animal time and affection in a delicate way. I hope to perhaps one day run my own rescue or animal sanctuary, but until then I hope to care for your pet! Looking forward to connecting with you. Thank you for trusting me with your fur child!

Kathryn took great care of our 2 cats and fish while we were away for a week! Loved the daily updates about the cats. I would highly recommend her!

Kathryn did a great job at sending pictures of Allen while I was away, as well as making sure he had plenty of love, attention, and care during her visits. Will book again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard that I allow my cats to venture out in. They’ve been “trained” to not leap the fence. I grew up with golden retriever who loved playing catch and going for long walks. I want to offer plenty of stimulation with play and affection, so they are not bored or lonely waiting for your return! Currently I can offer a maximum 2 night boarding. My cat isn’t too thrilled with new visitors but is not aggressive. It’s good for him to stretch himself but I still prefer not to stress him for too long haha If you are in a last minute bind for your dog or cat don’t hesitate to reach out! We’d be happy to care for your pet for a day or night or 2 if we’re able

Information Kathryn R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know where you typically take your pup for a walk, if there’s a specific route or the length of time. What games or activities they enjoy or find calming. If your dog has a bit of anxiety, it’s helpful to know so I can be more gentle than excited with them

A typical day

We’ll take long walks and hopefully play catch if you have a fenced in yard. If there’s a good trail even better! Some dogs enjoy brushing which I’m happy to do as well!

I currently work part time and often make my own schedule, so I can often fit both regular and last minute walks or visits! I also both drive and bike and enjoy adding walks to my routine.
