Pet care experience

Life is better with pets!

Hi, I’m Kathryn! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family always had cats and dogs, and I volunteered at the Humane Society in Dalton, GA throughout high school. I continued pet sitting through college and my mid 20s, and took a break only when I moved abroad. Now that I’m back in the Chattanooga area, I’ve genuinely missed having animals around. I currently live in Hixson, and apartment life has made it harder to be around animals, so I would love nothing more than to care for your pets while you’re away! Over the years I’ve looked after dogs, cats, hamsters, geckos, horses, goats, pigs, and chickens, so a wide variety of animals are in good hands with me. Feel free to ask about my availability. I hope to meet your furry (or scaly!) family members soon!

Safety, trust & environment

I will not be able to take any pets in my home because my cat is very territorial and likes to mark her territory if she is around other animals. Every pet is different so whatever schedule you have your pet on in your home I will do my best to match it!

Kathryn is AMAZING! She took wonderful care of my dogs while out of town. She communicates regularly and left the house spotless! One of my dogs requires careful attention and receives routine medication and she was awesome about this. We felt so comfortable having them with her. Highly, highly recommend Kathryn for all your pet sitting needs!

Kathryn was great. When we came back, Archie was very happy and well taken care of If I need a dog sitter again, she will be the first call.

Kathryn was the best! Wanted to know everything about my baby so she could make sure he was comfortable and happy while I was gone. I got updates while I was away and she left my house better than when she got there! I will definitely be having her back. Would highly recommend!

Kathryn was so amazing to our dogs! We have two pups who were nervous around strangers but she did such a good job making them feel comfortable around her! She helped us with our last minute drop in visit and was best friends with both of them after 20 minutes!

Schedule

I am currently an interior designer with a M-F 9-5:30 job. I know that sometimes that isn’t ideal for all dogs, especially smaller ones, but if you are comfortable with that I’d love to find a way to set up a routine that works best for you and your pets!

If you have any information about your pet that you would like to disclose before booking that is totally fine. I have dealt with several breeds, sizes, and behaviors.
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.
