Loving care for dogs and cats

Pet care experience

Cats and dogs have been a part of my life since I was six years old, and even more so over the last five years when I brought home my first cat and dog as an adult. I have put many hours into educating myself on the best ways to care for cats and dogs so that I can give my fur babies the best life possible, and I am ready to apply that knowledge to make sure your pets are taken care of, too! I have experience with providing daily care to cats and dogs, including feeding, exercise, hygiene, and cuddles. I am comfortable interacting with different personalities and adapting my care to each individual pet. I have worked with my own pup through the PetSmart puppy and intermediate training courses, and I am able to apply the practices I learned in these classes to the dogs in my care. If you book a drop-in for your dog, I am able to feed your pup, play with them, and of course walk the pup if you want or just hang out in the house or backyard. If you book a drop-in for a cat, I will feed and play with the kitty and also clean the cat box and make sure areas are clean before leaving. I always make sure to follow your instructions exactly and that your pets are fed and have had plenty of water and playtime. I will ensure that everything is locked and the food and litter box areas are as clean as possible before I leave your home.

My cat can be a bit grumpy, but Kathryn handles him like a pro! She's my go-to sitter when I'm out of town, and the peace of mind she provides makes it easier for me to leave my cat at home.

Kathryn has been an excellent dog walker for me in the past and I would highly recommend her to others for their pet care needs!

Kathryn has provided outstanding care for my kitty on multiple occasions. I feel totally at ease leaving my kitty at home for a few days because I know that Kathryn is reliable and skilled with providing safe and appropriate care.

Safety, trust & environment

When I conduct a drop-in visit or a dog walk, I always allow your pet to approach me first and take my cues from their behavior. You will receive a brief update from me on my time with your pet and I'm always happy to take special requests to ensure you and your pet are as comfortable as possible.

Information Kathryn V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make your pet more comfortable while they're in my care, especially if they have any preferences for how they interact with people. I also need to know of any medical needs your pet may have, including any limits on activities.

A typical day

When it comes to cats and dogs, I let them take the lead in our interactions. Every pet has their own unique personality and I do my best to respect their preferences, whether that means leaving them alone or providing a warm lap for some cuddles. I'm flexible when it comes to play preferences, touch tolerance, and food behaviors and will let your pet tell me what they need.
