Dog skills

10 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for dogs is about adapting behavior to match theirs, which is where trust is built! If your dog is anxious around a lot of energy, we tone it down. If your dog is a bubbly, there's lots of playing! Body language is key when it comes to our puppies so I always make sure to stay tuned in 🎶

Information Kathryn R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any triggers or anything to watch out for on our walks (dogs, kids, bikes) or if theres any training that I can help continue like heel, sitting when stopped, touch etc.

A typical day

I loveeee long walks outside so I thoroughly enjoy spending most of my time with doggies out and about. If your puppy is a lounger, there is no shortage of cuddles to be had! I also have fun mental stimulation games if your dog is a brainiac 🧠

Good with Big & Reactive Dogs 😍 🐶

Pet care experience

I have 10 years of experience with all kinds of dogs, including Rotties, Huskies, Shepherds, and Pitties. I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities — from total couch potatoes to pups who just need a little space and patience. I’ve fostered and volunteered with dogs for years, and I’m happy to help with training or just hang out and lounge — whatever your dog needs, I’m here for it 😊

Kathryn was so sweet and patient with our dog Naya. She always shows up on time and takes such good care of our pup, she even brought training treats to help in some reactivity situations during walks. She is the best!

Kathryn was so great with our dog Ruby. Ruby is a tricky girl to walk as she can be reactive to other dogs and Kathryn worked so well with her to keep her calm. Highly recommend.

my dog brody lovessss kathryn! He is a smaller GSD who has some leash reactivity issues and can be picky about who he trusts. Kathryn was so good with him, she easily won him over with treats and was so good at sticking to the training we were working on with him! she always sends pics whenever she’s with him and makes sure he gets lots of love and attention :)
