Highlights
Pet care experience
Undivided Attention & Belly Rubs
What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give to each pet. Since I work from home, your pet will receive consistent, focused companionship throughout the day. I have hands-on experience training puppies and can help reinforce positive behaviors while keeping routines consistent. I’m also attentive to the unique needs of senior pets, ensuring they stay comfortable, safe, and supported at all times. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I tailor my care to match their personality, age, and specific needs — just like they’re part of my own family.

Ratings and reviews
This review is written by me, Henry the Bulldog. I just stayed with Kathryn for 12 nights and just loved it. I was so comfortable there, and she sent Mom and Dad pictures every day. She took me for walks and played with me, but best of all, we had lots of cuddles. Mom and Dad were able to relax knowing I was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Kathryn to all my friends, but please don't book her so I can have her all to myself.
Our dogs get very excited to see Kathryn.
Fantastic dog sitter! Kathryn truly went above and beyond—sending updates, giving my dog lots of freedom on long walks. It was clear Nala was playful and well cared for the whole time.I had complete peace of mind and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
Kathryn was super helpful and communicative with last minute changes that I had. She went the extra mile to do a meet and greet before the stay. She sent daily updates and I felt totally comfortable with Nala staying there! Would 10/10 recommend. This was my first experience with a Rover sitter and my dog is super timid but Kathryn gave her the attention and space she needed to finally warm up!!
Kathryn was lovely! I was a bit concerned initially because our 120 lb, recent rescue dog tends to be nervous in new environments. All my worries subsided quickly. Kathryn's presence is calming, assuring and nurturing. Thatcher settled in quickly and looked forward to his visits. I will certainly reach out to Kathryn next time I need some doggy day care. Her care, attentiveness and flexibility was so appreciated.
Fantastic! Alice had never been away from us for longer than a day. Kathryn adjusted her routine for Alice’s needs and made our time away worry free. Thank you, Kathryn! We plan on using you again for any trip where we can’t take Alice.

Schedule
Pet care just fits right into my day. I’m always around to give them my full attention. We go for 1-2 walks every day, and I make sure there’s always time for play. It’s all about keeping things balanced and making sure they’re happy and active.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At home, I’m all about making sure my pets feel comfortable and happy, with lots of attention, daily walks, and playtime. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same approach—giving them the care and attention they need based on their routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just spending time with them, I try to make sure they feel as relaxed and cared for as possible.
A typical day
When I’m with pets, I love keeping things fun and active! We’ll go on walks, play fetch, or enjoy some tug-of-war. For those who love toys, I’ll make sure we have plenty of playtime with their favourites. If they’re more into chill activities, we might hang out and enjoy some belly rubs or explore new scents outside. It’s all about keeping them happy and engaged, whether we’re out and about or relaxing at home.
