Highlights
Pet care experience
Non-judgemental dog trainer
Pets are family, and how to better attend to their wants and needs doesn’t have to be a concern- I’m here to help! My love for animals has grown since I started pet sitting in 2014, and my experiences working in doggy daycares, boarding facilities, and pet care retail have stoked my drive to specialize in dog training. My time working with animals has made me an knowledgeable, more prepared, and empathetic pet sitter. I have been responsible for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and energy levels; some with health or behavioral issues; and companion animals like hamsters, rats, reptiles, and fish. My training allows me to provide help in addition to check-in, walking, or house-sitting services like: administering medication, potty training, getting your anxious pet used to new people, desensitization to grooming, and preparing for the AKC Canine Good Citizens Certification. It has been an enlightening decade working with the various species of unique, charming, adorable pets; and the hard-working, devoted pet parents that love them. Every day I strive to learn more about the animals for which we so deeply care.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I ask that my clients leave me a routine for their fur baby and discuss any rules they have for their pet(s) and home. I always put a leash on before leaving the house unless the yard is fenced in and the client agrees that it is safe to let them out without one.
Ratings and reviews
Super excited to have found Kathryn, my girl is reactive and needs some additional time to warm up to people. Kathryn has been patient and understanding of her needing a little extra space until she's ready. She doesn't force interactions and understands body language. It's harder to find a dog sitter when you don't have an easy going pup and I'm thankful for the time and care Kathryn has had with my girl.
Kathryn did a great job with our two young labs. She played ball with them and let them run outside all day. She sent us pictures of the pups during our travel. She was awesome.
I could see by the pictures Kathryn sent me of my babies they were very well taken care of and just as I asked for them to be and they loved her my ladybug even smiled in the picture for her and that isn't an easy thing to get ladybug to do so if you need someone to take care of your fur babies dogs or cats or both she is awesome
I always enjoy Kathryn being around Marley, she is truly amazing on what she does. You can see the love she has for dogs. I was comfortable knowing that she will do a few drop ins with Marley while we were at Disneyland. I totally recommend her. Can’t wait for the next one, Marley loves you!
Kathryn was very attentive to our puppy Loki. During their walks Kathryn made sure to take pictures and keep us updated throughout their time. She is super sweet and easy to work with, we are grateful that Kathryn was able to take care of our puppy.
Kathryn is very friendly, punctual, and does a great job communicating with her customers! Our dogs were in great hands and were given the best care during her stay. I highly recommend Kathryn for all your pet sitting needs!
