Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH Sitter to Support Your Pet!
With 10+ years of experience caring for all types of pups & cats — senior, special needs, anxious, and newborn/infant —I understand the importance of finding a sitter who makes your pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide individualized care to ensure they feel stress-free, so that your time away is equally stress-free! Here’s what sets me apart from other sitters: ~ As a full-time remote worker, I’m home a substantial portion of the day; perfect for pets with separation anxiety, medical needs, or higher bathroom demands! ~ I only accept one (1) Rover reservation at a time and don't split my caregiving time with other Rover bookings. Your pet gets 100% of my attention! ~ Your home is your haven, and I treat it as such. I'm a fully solo sitter, so you don't have to worry about uninvited guests affecting your pet or your home! ~ I prioritize your pet's routine, so you return home to a calm household! Any specific needs or structure your pet has, I'm all ears. ~ I am clean, organized, and responsible, and will leave your home better than I found it. :)

Ratings and reviews
Wonderful sitter! From the start of scheduling Kathryn was personable and professional. Following our meet and greet we had confidence our pup and home would be well attended while we were away. That confidence continued throughout our trip with pupdates that went above expectations and care for our home we didn’t even consider. Thanks so much Kathryn!!
Kathryn was extremely patient with our chihuahuas. She took wonderful care of the boys and our home while we were away. We feel so fortunate to have found her!
Kathryn is just amazing. So good to my dogs, very insightful, very thoughtful, left the house beautiful, great communication.
Wonderful—she gave great updates and was clearly very invested in making my dog happy and and relaxed. Took so much initiative!! Fantastic!
Kathryn was an excellent pet and house sitter during our recent vacation. It gave us such peace of mind having her look after our dog and two cats while we were away. She communicated regularly and was quick to respond if we had any questions. She went above and beyond in many ways - taking our pup to the dog park, communicating with a repair person when our HVAC went out on our first day of traveling, and we came home to a house cleaned and refreshed - to name a few. If you’re looking for someone who is going to give your animals lots of love and attention while you’re away, Kathryn is the one. I highly recommend her and will definitely request her to house sit for us in the future.
Kathryn was amazing! She watched our dog, Jerry, for 3 nights while we were at a wedding. She was communicative, thorough, and thoughtful. She took Jerry on nice long walks and gave him outside time in our backyard along with following his normal routine. Not only did she take great care of Jerry, she even washed our laundry and picked up our house a little. It was SO nice to come home to after a long day of driving.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
We’ll generally have minimum of a 30-minute daily walk (but happy to go longer or shorter, based on pup preferences!), multiple potty breaks, and plenty of indoor / outdoor play time, depending on your space!

Safety, trust & environment
Important Things to Note: ~ I require a minimum booking of 2 nights — shorter stays won’t be accepted. ~ I’m experienced with administering special medications or treatments—just provide the details, and I’m happy to help!
A typical day
I prioritize physical activity to get your pups' energy moving (if that's their speed!), as well as brain games to keep that cognitive functioning going. Treat hide and seek is a fan fave during my caregiving time! For cat care, I know they tend to dicate what they want, and how. So, if it's cuddle time, they got it; play time, definitely got it; and "leave me a alone time," I will oblige, as well. :)
