Pet care experience

I’ve owned, rescued, and trained dogs my entire life, and have good instincts in regard to working with them. I have worked in veterinary care as well, so I’m capable of providing any level of home care your furry family member requires. I am also honest and kind, so your home and your pets are both safe in my care. I look forward to working with you and your pets!

If You are looking for someone who knows and cares this is her. Kathryn not only understands canine behavior from a broad perspective she takes the time to make that one on one connection with your dog, I would rate Kathryn's services at 6 Stars on a 1-5 scale. She truly is above and beyond!

Kathryn was awesome with our cattle dogs. Millie has anxiety and can get stressed easily. Kathryn worked with our dogs well, gave Millie her medication and played ball with our dogs daily while we where away 5 days. She checked on our cats and showed up on time everyday, gave us good updates and made sure our house was secured when she left everytime. Kathryn will be our go to person for our next vacation.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to let the owner show me how they care for their animals, so that I may replicate that as much as possible to reduce the stress of the pet. In my home I have six dogs, so I know how important it is to have watch every individual closely and get to know each pet on their own terms.

Information Kathryn R. would like to know about your pet

I’ll need to know about any special needs, fears, or other factors that could influence the stress or health of the pet while they are in my care.

A typical day

I’m open to activities that the owner describes as enjoyable to the pet, but I’m very good at fetch, tug, and following any training or other protocols the owner asks me to do.
