Highlights
Pet care experience
10+ Years Loving Pets
Having cared for pets for over 10 years, I know that our animals aren't just pets—they’re family. I’ve always been the go-to person among friends and family for walking, daily drop-ins, and vacation pet care because I treat every animal with the same patience, routine, and affection I’d give my own. Whether your pup loves brisk morning walks, upbeat playtime, or just a gentle stroll with lots of time to sniff, I tailor every visit to their energy level and unique personality. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, hydration, and body language to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and comfortable. You can always count on prompt communication, reliable arrival times, and cute photo updates with every visit, so you have complete peace of mind while you’re busy or away. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I host and play with pets in a cozy, fully pet-proofed one-bedroom apartment that offers a calm, secure, and low-stress environment without the overwhelm of multi-dog chaos. When caring for your dog in my home or visiting yours, I maintain strict safety protocols: dogs are always leashed during outdoor walks, doors and entryways are closely managed, and any personal hazards are kept out of reach. I adhere closely to your specific feeding routines, medication schedules, and house rules. You’ll receive regular photo updates and prompt check-ins after every visit or play session so you always know your pup is thriving and safe.
Ratings and reviews
I never worry for a second when leaving my dog in their hands. They’ve looked after my dog countless times—both for quick weekend drop-ins and while traveling together—and the level of love and attention to routine is unmatched. You'll get tons of great photo updates, and your dog will probably miss them the second they leave!
Kathryn is an absolute natural at providing safe, attentive, and deeply loving care, combining a natural warmth for animals with the sharp organizational skills and reliability she brings to everything she does. Her steady patience, clear communication, and profound empathy make her an extraordinary human being who treats every pet with unwavering dedication and kindness. Beyond her big heart, her meticulous attention to detail ensures top-tier customer service, keeping pet parents completely informed and at ease every step of the way.

Schedule
I dedicate my weekends fully to pet care! After wrapping up my regular Monday through Friday workday, I am available starting Friday evening after 4:00 PM and have wide-open, flexible availability all day Saturday and Sunday. Because my weekends are centered around pet care, your dog receives dedicated, hands-on attention rather than being rushed between other commitments. Whether you need evening drop-ins, weekend dog walks, or playtime while you’re out running errands or traveling, my schedule allows for reliable, focused care.
