A typical day

Varies for service requested. For dog walks, we will work on good manners and walk as far as possible in the time alotted-getting as much energy out as possible. For cat drop ins, your cat will call the shots on the amount of pets/snuggles and play time. Besides that, every drop in I will refresh food, water and litter along with any special instructions agreed upon.

Very Experienced Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

Hi there, you came to the right place! ***Please note that for dog walking I am not currently accepting weekly recurring walks, all dog walks need to have a start and end date. We can book for a whole in month in advance each month as an alternative to recurring walks*** My name is Kathryn, I am a responsible, kind and friendly animal lover! I have well over 15 years of experience caring, walking, training and sitting animals! A little more about me: I have professional experience in child care where I was the general manager of a facility: supervising both the children and my staff. I work for myself now in Real Estate which gives me a flexible schedule and post Covid, I end up working from from home a lot, so with some notice I can schedule in a walk or drop in visit to help out and make sure your pet is well taken care of while you're at work or on vacation. I have owned and taken care of animals of all sizes and types throughout my life. I don't currently have a pup, so would love to help with yours! You can rest assured that your pet will be treated like my own, I believe in providing a calm and loving environment by sticking to your normal schedule as closely as possible and making sure that your pup gets plenty of exercise! An exercised dog is always a happy dog. I have no size or breed requirements, all breeds welcome! I look forward to hearing more about you and your little furry one!

Kathryn took wonderful care of my cat. Kathryn was super commutative and thorough. I loved her updates and felt so at ease knowing my kitty was getting lots of pets and playtime. I would book with Kathryn again.

Kathryn was very attentive, cleanly, and caring to my two cats! She gave great updates, and I love that she left treats for them to look for so they would be occupied after she left. Really appreciate her care and kindness.
