Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving and Reliable Pet Sitter
What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my ability to work with all types of animals, including those who may be more challenging or need extra care. I’ve worked with dogs that are shy or defensive, using patience and a calm approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's a playful puppy, a senior dog, or animals of all sizes—big or small—I have the experience to provide tailored care. I’m also comfortable and experienced in administering medications, ensuring your pets stay healthy and happy while you're away. Patience and understanding are key in my approach, making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I tailor my approach based on their specific needs. I ensure a comfortable, stress-free environment for their pets by sticking to their routine, whether that involves feeding, playtime, or walks. I’m also attentive to any special requirements, like medications or providing extra care for pets with specific temperaments. I keep the home clean and tidy, respecting the client’s space while ensuring their pets feel safe and loved. Communication is key, so I’ll provide updates and keep you informed to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Kathryn was great to work with! She met with our dog in advance of house sitting for some “get to know you” walks and when the time came, he was excited to her! She was very flexible with our ever changing plans and was always sure to update us on her arrivals/departures. Would highly recommend her services & we would gladly have her watch our dog again!
Kathryn was great about communicating while we were away so we knew everything was going well! Came home to happy pets and house looking great! Would hire again without hesitation :)
Kathryn was wonderful with my two mini Australian Shepherds! She sent daily photos and our pups looked so happy and comfortable with her. Kathryn took them on walks and played ball with them! She was flexible with timing and she also took good care of our home while we were away. I absolutely recommend Kathryn and will re-book in the future!
Kathryn was communicative, respectful of our home, and so accommodating to our pets! We are repeat clients and will continue to be as long as she’ll be available. Thank you Kathryn!!
Kathryn is the best! Our two pups love her and and she is always so communicative and sweet while we’re gone. Couldn’t recommend more!
Kathryn was very professional in all aspects - communication, taking care of my pet, as well as staying in our house. She made sure Joy got his walks and pee breaks at the appropriate times that we had communicated with her. I would not hesitate to have her come over and sit again for our pet.

Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because of my flexible schedule as a graduate student. This allows me to dedicate time to give pets the attention they need, whether it’s walks, playtime, or administering medication. Caring for animals is something I’m passionate about, and my routine is structured to ensure I can provide reliable, personalized care for your pets, making it a rewarding part of my day.

- To ensure the best care for your pets, it's important to know key details in advance. I’ll need to understand their daily routine, preferences, any dietary restrictions, and any allergies or medical conditions they may have. It’s also helpful to know their temperament—whether they’re shy, energetic, or need extra reassurance—so I can adjust my approach accordingly. If your pet requires medication, understanding the specifics of dosage and administration is essential. Additionally, knowing their favorite toys and how they prefer to be interacted with will help me make them feel comfortable and at ease. Clear communication about these factors allows me to provide tailored, high-quality care.
