Non-judgemental dog trainer

Pet care experience

I've been dog sitting for a decade and have found my passion training dogs. I started dog sitting at 14 and was responsible for puppies, high energy pets, administering medication and found a love for working with animals. After having worked at a doggy daycare, and now as a dog trainer, I have found my passion working with pets and I want to be able to take care of the ones in my community!

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!

I have used Kathryn numerous times to dog sit my Cocker Spaniel , Taffy. Kathryn stayed in my home. I trusted her completely. She is responsible and very attentive to my dog. She would send cute pictures at various times just to show me all was well. She walked Taffy daily and gave her plenty of cuddles. When I got home I could tell Taffy was very comfortable around Kathryn. In fact, Taffy jumped up on the couch to sit by Taffy rather than me😂😂🐶🐶 Kathryn’s main purpose was to dog sit but I felt good someone was in my home. She was excellent. Kept everything as I had left it. Kathryn loves all animals. Kathryn is loving, caring and very smart.

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.

Information Kathryn S. would like to know about your pet

Pet parents should always inform caretakers about any allergies or medications their dogs are on. I like to know about the dog’s history and anxieties, as well as any incidents with people or other dogs. Knowing your dogs play style will help me tailor our time together so that I can help give them the care they need.

A typical day

I enjoy being outside in nature and love when I can take pets with me. Having worked in a indoor doggy daycare, there are lots of way to entertain inside the home as well! Things like snuffle mats and lick mats help stimulate their brain as well as engage them in fun activity.
