We had such a wonderful experience with Kathryn! She came by to watch our dog, Baxter, and he absolutely adored her from the start. She took him on a great walk, was incredibly loving and sweet with him, and you can truly tell she’s a genuine animal lover. The pups clearly love her right back. I felt completely comfortable with their interaction the entire time. Kathryn shared lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. The sweetest part was that Baxter even took her to his favorite spot — and he does not share that lightly! That alone told me how much he trusted and liked her. We will absolutely be using Kathryn again. She was an excellent sitter and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and amazing with animals.

Kathryn was great with my boys! She sent pictures and was communicative throughout her stay! Really helped us in a last minute request!. could tell my boys were well loved and taken care of. They were happy when I got home and didn’t seem to be stressed out in any way. Thank you - we will definitely reach out again for future sitting needs!

Kathy was amazing with our 2 large dogs and 1 cat. We have 1 younger dog that can be high energy and she knew exactly how to handle him. She was very responsive to messages, sent update photos of our pets to us, and treated our home with care and respect. I would highly recommended her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and we have already booked with her to watch our pets again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My schedule is super flexible, so I can do any time or day that works best for you. I don’t mind working holidays or weekends.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I will comply with any and all specific requirements or requests you have for your pet. I don’t currently have the ability to care for additional pets in my home, but I am incredibly respectful and conscientious when in other people’s spaces.

Pets

A typical day

My all time favorite activity is cuddling and giving lots of pet and butt pats. For the more playful pups, I love playing fetch or tug of war...or laser pointer chasing for kitties.

I like to know anything super specific you do for your pets, if they are reactive to other dogs, any sort of food aggression, and if they require any sort of medications.
