Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced yard for everyday play, but I also love to go for walks, head to the park, and drop in at the dog parks around town for extra fun. I enjoy going up the mountain for hikes and to give the pups a chance to sniff out new smells. I have long lines and extra leashes for safety.

Information Kathryn S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know everything about your pets, if they need special meds,treatment, if you have them on a different feeding schedule anything important. I also need to know if they are kennel trained and house trained.

A typical day

Good morning potty breaks are important, and after, a great chance to sneak in some training, treats, and love before breakfast. Please let me know if you're working on anything specific with your pup as I'd love to support what you're doing at home for training. My days vary depending on who needs what care, and I'm really flexible. If your pup is up for it, we'll head out on a walk and sniff-fest. I do a lot of home enrichment like play ball, tug, cuddle, or engage with puzzle toys for some snackies. Of course, if you have any other fuzzy family, I want to ensure they have enrichment and are engaged in their environment as well - this could include a hamster puzzle (hiding some seeds or favored snacks and encouraging foraging behaviors), or reptile hang out time... I've known some pretty pawsome geckos, iguanas, and tortoises through the years. Nighttime, I like to wind down with dinner, snuggles, and some toy play before heading off to bed - doggos are welcome to snooze on the bed with me. 🥰

Dogs? Love them! Cats! Love them!

Pet care experience

I have 20+ years of personal pet care experience and worked for pet sitting agencies for about 3 years before striking out on my own. I absolutely adore dogs, cats, small rodents, and reptiles, all of which I've cared for most of my life. I'd love to care for your pets like my own including going on walks, playing ball, and engaging in a wide variety of species specific enrichment.

The daily photos and videos were wonderful, and all the pets clearly enjoyed Kathryn’s company. I’m hoping she’ll be available again the next time I need to travel.
