Availability

Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. As a pet parent myself, my days revolve around feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I work full-time during the week, so weekday availability is typically early mornings and evenings. Weekends offer the most flexibility, and I may be able to accommodate occasional midday visits for nearby clients on a case-by-case basis.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow care instructions closely, secure doors, gates, and entry points, and pay attention to the details that help pets feel safe and settled in their normal environment. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet has a strict routine, takes medication, has special needs, or simply prefers things done a certain way, I strive to provide consistent, dependable care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind.

Information Kathryn S. would like to know about your pet

Please share your pet’s daily routine, feeding instructions, medications, personality quirks, fears, triggers, escape tendencies, and veterinarian information. The more I know before the visit, the better I can provide safe, personalized care that keeps your pet comfortable and helps maintain their normal routine. If there are any special needs, behavioral concerns, favorite toys, preferred walking routes, or things that help your pet feel secure, I’d love to know those too. Every detail helps me provide the best possible care while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day is built around your pet’s normal routine. That may include potty breaks, feeding, walks, yard time, playtime, enrichment activities, rest, and medication if needed. I believe pets are most comfortable when their routines stay consistent, so I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower, quieter pace, I adjust my approach to fit their personality and needs. My goal is for your pet to feel cared for, relaxed, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 25 years, including my own pets, foster animals, and pets belonging to friends, family, and Rover clients. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for a member of your family. I currently care for a dog with epilepsy and have experience with medication schedules, special needs pets, senior pets, and recognizing when something seems “off.” I believe every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and preferences. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, receive belly rubs, or simply have a calm companion nearby, I adjust my care to fit their needs. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout each visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

Kathryn was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Zara. She provided detailed updates and lots of pictures during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious she genuinely cared about Zara and spent quality time with her, not just feeding her and leaving. She even cleaned around the food area and brought in a package for me, which I really appreciated. Her notes were thoughtful, funny, and reassuring, and I could tell Zara became very comfortable with her. I would absolutely book Kathryn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter.
