Pet care experience
This KAT loves dogs! Romp w/us!
Greetings and welcome to my page! Thank you for the opportunity to meet you and your family. You have come to the right place if you are looking for personal and individualized care for your babies, as opposed to kennels and boarding places. I have a huge passion and devotion to taking care of animals and it would be my pleasure to spend time with yours when you need help! Availability & Promo Code: - Please feel free to contact me if the dates you need are not showing availability as schedules change constantly. - First time Rover users can use my promo code for a discount: KATHRS84579 ABOUT ME: My name is Kat & have provided dog/cat sitting services for years in the many states we have lived in (CA, MA, NC, AZ). I would love to take care of your fur babies either at my house (dogs) OR your house (dogs & cats). My joy in life is to take care of animals of all ages - puppies, kittens, and seniors. MY PETS: I own 2 rescue dogs - Kopper & Konyn. Kopper is now a 13+ year old senior dog who has been part of my family since he was 11 months old. Having Konyn since he was 8 weeks old, he is now 7 and STILL loves playing with other dogs, running & wrestling, & after all that, napping for hours! After all, a tired dog is a HAPPY DOG! I take great care of dogs and cats of all ages, and throughout their life stages from puppy & kitten hood to adulthood and into their senior years. I believe in a balance of dogs and training, including puppy training and commands, potty training, crate training, and even have done agility with Kopper when he was younger. WHY BOOK WITH ME? - HALF OFF pricing for ADDITIONAL pets: Since I have an "additional pet", I understand the value of not spending a lot. - HOME SETTING vs KENNEL: We all have used public pet boarding places, which can get a little chaotic. By using my care, your pup(s) & cat(s) will have individualized care at the comforts of a home, and not a facility with many other animals and distractions. - PLAY TIME: Your pet will have plenty of play either in the backyard or inside when it is too hot, with many doggie toys, etc. - QUIET TIME: Private rooms available if quiet time is needed. - LOVE AND ATTENTION: belly rubs, cuddles, and pets - what they need and deserve while you are away. - EXERCISE: A tired dog is a happy dog, so whatever it takes - walk around the backyard, neighborhood, trail , or dog park. - NAP TIME: Everyone deserves a nap (yes us too!) - so rest assured that naps are on the schedule. - During HOUSE SITTING: I will take care of your house as well as your animals: plants, mail, trash, etc. Your pups/kitties will be in the comfort of his/her/their own home, so no need to worry about changing their environment and routines are followed. - ANIMAL ADVOCATE: Lastly and most importantly, I have spent a lot of time in increasing my knowledge of dogs and cats, including animal behavior and personality, physical and psychological health, nutrition, vitamins & supplements, training and lifestyle, as each animal is unique when it comes to their care. :)

Ratings and reviews
Kat is the best! We have her on a recurring basis for our 2 dogs and they adore her. She provides so many updates during her visits which is so nice to know how they are doing while we are away. We also recently moved and feared she wouldn't be able to do drop in visits. She was SO accommodating and worked around her schedule to continue fitting us in. She is so great and loving with our dogs. Will continue to use Kat for as long as she'll let us lol. Highly recommend Kat!!! <3


Kathryn took great care of our German shepherd!

Kathryn kept me updated on how Ari was doing and sent lots of adorable photos, which made me feel very reassured. Highly recommend!

Kathryn was AMAZING! She was very personable, detailed, knowledgeable, and prompt with wonderful communication throughout visits to my home to care for my 3 pups. She advised when she would arrive, sent many photos, relayed how each dog was doing and she made sure each one got individual attention and care ! I was able to enjoy my trip since I did not have to worry about my pups. I am very particular and I was very impressed with her experience and comforted by her superior care and services she provided. I will definitely be requesting her in the future as well as referring her to my family and friends!



Kathryn was great, accommodating and treated our dogs as her own. Looking forward to her watching our dogs in the future!


Amazing care! Our pup had a blast and made some new besties. So many updates and photos. Took care of our pup with the best care.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
For House Sitting/Boarding/Day Care/Walks/Pet visits: I will follow your instructions on how you want your pups/kitties to be taken care of. My intention is to ensure they are safe and comfortable in their setting and follow their routines as best while you are away with less destruction and chaos. :) For sitting at my house: I have a fenced yard the pups can play in and out of all day.
Pets
A typical day
If you want, I will take your dogs for a walk, romps in the backyard, or depending on your comfort level, I love to take the pups to the dog park to burn all that energy! When inside, I will make sure I give your fur babies some love with belly rubs, treats, and cuddles, and plenty of nap times! While you are on vacation, your pets should be on vacation too!
