Future Physician & Dog Enthusiast

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Kathryn, and I am currently living in the Twin Cities. I'm a current fourth year medical student at the University of Minnesota Medical School who is interviewing for Obstetrics & Gynecology residency programs right now. My schedule is extremely open until graduation in several months. I graduated from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL in 2014 with a degree in Education and Social Policy. My family is full of dog lovers, and I've always had a special canine friend in my life. I've had 3 West Highland White Terriers and a Scottish Terrier over the years. Currently, I own the sweetest 14 year old Westie named Emma and a 2 year old buff tabby cat named Jaime. Also, one of my favorite hobbies is volunteering to walk and play with dogs and cats at my local humane societies. I have walked a multitude of easygoing and difficult dogs. Whether your dog is a puller, barker, excited jumper, or hesitant with strangers, I've seen it all. I know how to work all collars and harnesses from prong collars to easy walkers to gentle leads. I am Pet First Aid and CPR trained. Not to mention I will be a surgeon delivering babies in the next year and think I'm a pretty fast thinker ;). Finally, I love to stay fit by jogging and doing yoga. Don't forget that I hail from the winter lands of Minnesota and would love to walk your pooch no matter what the conditions are this winter. I love the snow as much as your dog does. In addition, I am happy to care for cats and other animals. I will get to know your animals, their personalities and quirks, and how I can best care for them prior to any sitting/drop-ins/walks. I can guarantee that you can trust me with your furry friend, and I can't wait to meet them! If you'd like to see pictures/stories of my adventures walking your pup and others, visit my instagram at pawsitively_kathryn.

Kathryn was wonderful to my 2 dogs and 2 cats, house sitting for me for 5 days while I was out of town. She sent regular updates and pictures. I felt that my pets were being watched by a loving, attentive and capable person and was therefore able to relax and enjoy my time away! I could tell from the pictures that my pets loved her!

Kathryn was AMAZING. I wish I would have found her sooner! I was relaxed on vacation knowing she was watching my dogs in our house. She sent adorable pictures and uodates twice a day and went above and beyond and shoveled our sidewalk when it snowed. I came home to happy pups! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Information Kathryn T. would like to know about your pet

I have personally owned terriers and have walked all dog breeds from chihuahuas to great danes! I have a special soft spot for pitbulls and pit mixes. I am a fourth year medical student and am very competent at providing basic medical care. If your animal needs special attention, just let me know! I will also be vigilant while they are in my care and will alert you to anything that might demand further work-up.

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy walking, jogging, fetching, puppy command training, and Netflix cuddling. Please let me know any special commands or training requests, and I will honor them to the best of my ability so that both you and your dog are comfortable. Note: I charge $18 for 30 minute walks, but am happy to do 60 minute walks for $25. Each additional dog is $5 extra no matter how long the walk is.
