Safety, trust & environment

I follow the guidelines set by you to take care of your best friend(s). I typically have fed & walked pets, often housesitting for weeks.

Information Kathryn S. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know if your dog has any specific needs, is comfortable around other dogs or people. If you prefer your dog has more social time, or more active workout, I can accommodate both.

A typical day

I will love to spend quality time outdoors with your dog, playing fetch with their favorite toy or letting them sniff the days current aromas. I enjoy taking them to new areas for fun & exploration.

Active and responsible dog lover

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs for over 15 years, from corgis, akidas, springer spaniels, golden retriever, toy poodles, etc. I’m an active runner/hiker who loves taking dogs outside for long walks in nature. If your pet is older and just needs a short walk and a good belly scratch, that’s fine too.

Kathryn was excellent! Super responsive, flexible and communicative from the start. She got our shy guy out for a stroll when we were away for the day and put me at ease with photos and updates. I will definitely reach out to her again :)

Katherine is very responsive and was able to help get the wiggles out of my active puppy. She took her for several much appreciated long walks on trails, one was very last minute when I was called into work. She is a lifesaver. I highly recommend Katherine!

The Best Dog Walker Ever! Kathryn is absolutely amazing! While many dog walkers just stick to a quick mile or two, Kathryn goes above and beyond — taking my dog, Obruni, on multi-hour adventures. Obruni always comes home happy, calm, and wonderfully tired, which tells me she’s had a great time and plenty of stimulation. Beyond her incredible dedication to the dogs she cares for, Kathryn is just a wonderful person. She’s communicative, prompt, always cheerful, and has such a positive, can-do attitude. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and that love shines through in how she treats the dogs (and their humans!). I can’t recommend Kathryn enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, energetic, and kind dog walker. Obruni and I are so lucky to have found her!

Kathryn is a dream come true. She takes our two dogs (Wiley and Captain Uno) on long hikes and gets them outside so they are happy and tired every time they come home. They both get so excited whenever they see her. We feel that she cares for our dogs like they are her own. She is a very nice person and incredibly easy to communicate with. She always tries her best to be flexible with when we have last-minute needs or changes. Highly, highly recommend!
