Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving pet care you can count on!
I have grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. I grew up with a bullmastiff, currently care for two cats, and recently adopted a hamster, so taking care of animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience with house sitting, Rover pet care, and volunteering at the Humane Society, where I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and creating a calm and loving environment for animals. What sets me apart is how genuinely much I care about every animal I look after. I understand how important it is for owners to trust the person caring for their pets, so I always prioritize communication, reliability, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient with shy or anxious animals, attentive to routines and instructions, and always make sure pets receive plenty of affection, attention, and care. I am also comfortable with large dog breeds, experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and basic pet care needs, and I always provide photo and message updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
Growing up with a Bullmastiff, I’ve learned firsthand how to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments with confidence and care. Whether it's a gentle giant or a more energetic pup, I’m skilled at managing pets of every personality! Now, as a proud cat owner, I understand the unique needs of both feline and canine friends. Alongside my own pets, I regularly pet sit in my neighborhood, giving me a wealth of experience with a variety of animals and the trust of my local community. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands with someone who treats every animal like family.
Ratings and reviews
Kathryn is incredibly reliable, consistent, and communicative. When two other Rover sitters fell through and left my dog unattended while I was out of the country, Kathryn stepped in last minute and provided dependable, thoughtful care. I truly appreciate how she cared for my dog during such a stressful situation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust.
Kathryn was amazing with Luna! She followed all care instructions, kept me updated with timely photos, and made sure Luna got playtime and attention. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat — couldn’t ask for more!
I’ve hired Kathryn three times now, and she always does a great job taking care of Harriet, provides easy communication to coordinate things or manage unpredicted events, and good flexibility. I highly recommend!
I couldn't be happier with Kathryn! She shared daily pet photos with me. Walked the dog twice a day, and even my shy cat didn’t hide. Our pets were clearly well cared for. Everything went smoothly—highly recommend!

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and already care for my own pets every day. I am currently home from college for the summer and, while I am looking for a summer job, my schedule is fairly open and flexible right now. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I am also very organized and reliable, so I am able to adapt easily to different schedules and pet care needs. 🐾
