Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, reliable, full of love
Hi, I'm Kathryn! I’m an experienced, compassionate pet sitter offering personalized care, daily dog walks, and overnight stays. I work from home full-time as a journalist, which means your pup will have constant companionship, plenty of belly rubs, and lots of love. My passion for animals runs deep—I grew up at my mom’s dog daycare, where I was immersed in dog behavior training and care from an early age. We had labs growing up, and some of my favorite memories are of taking them on long adventures in the woods. These days, my partner and I share our home with our sweet shepherd mix, Ozzy. I’ve spent the last eight years caring for dogs while I lived all over the country. This is my first time on Rover, and I’m excited to build meaningful relationships with both pets and their people. I believe pet care should be accessible—not overpriced—so I strive to offer affordable, high-quality service that gives you peace of mind. We live in a beautiful, pet-friendly apartment with a secure back courtyard and quick access to local parks for playtime and walks. Your pet will be treated like family—safe, loved, and happy while you're away. For boarding and daycare requests, I will be joined by my own dog Ozzy. If your dog prefers not to be around a young dog, then it may not be a fit. Looking forward to connecting!

Ratings and reviews
Kathryn was super sweet and my Tiger Lilly warmed right up to her.
My cat had a great time warming up to Kathryn. I booked on pretty short notice and it was super easy to communicate what my cat needed!
Kathryn house sat and took care of my dog Milo for a week. She was flexible, easy to communicate with and took excellent care of my home and puppy. Highly recommend! I will definitely work with her again. Thank you Kathryn!
Kathryn is great! So nice and responsible and thorough. Will totally book her again. Highly recommend!
This is the second time Kathryn has helped with our golden retriever puppy, Noodle! She always sends pictures and updates of how he is doing and is very easy to work with. Will continue booking with Kathryn for our puppy needs :)
Kathryn watched our 4 month old golden retriever puppy and he loved her! She has a great intuition with dogs and is very understanding of puppy behavior, which makes me feel at ease leaving our puppy with her. She is also flexible and accommodating with scheduling, which I appreciate. High recommend hiring her for your pup!
