Pet care experience

Friendly, reliable pet care.

I've lived with and cared for animals both in and out of my home, ever since I was a young child with a major focus on cats. A few years ago I found my passion with sighthounds and have been involved with sighthound transport, fostering, and more. Living with, and being around colonies of sighthounds has helped me to be more fluent in dog language which has helped greatly with my canine interactions. Mutual trust and understanding between human and dogs is something that is very important to me and my preference is to work with soft dogs.

This sitter is the best! Kathryn knew more things about my dog and his behaviors than I did! I hope she will accept my future booking requests.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Kathryn can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
Any special likes or dislikes are important for me to know so I can help ensure that the experience is positive for your pets. If you have reactive or aggressive dogs, I am not the person for you.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
