Furry Friends Invited

Pet care experience

Hey there, My name is Kathryn. I know how much everyone cares for their furry friends like children, so you want to give them only the very best care. I am available to watch your dog anytime in my home. I have two small dogs of my own that get along great with other small dogs. I also have two kittens that are adorable and have been around dogs both big and small. My roommates also have one medium size dog as well that is about a year old and loves other animals. If you need someone that is fun, loving, and knows how to spoil your furry friend rotten than send me a message. I have been watching dogs and cats for friends since I was very young, and have had dogs my whole life and only want the very best for mine so I will definitely treat yours the same. I have not had any professional training, all the training I have is self taught. Have had dogs pretty much my whole life, and they are at the center of my world. Sounds cheesy I know, but its true. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog love ever since I was like 2 years old. I grew up with two retrivers...then had some goldens, labs, a husky, a corgi/basset/rodiesian ridgeback mix. I currently have a male dachshund/chihuahua that I rescued from a neglectful situation about three years ago, and a female dachshund/chihuahua that I adopted from Utah Humane Society that originally came from california as a transfer from a kill shelter about a two and a half years ago. About my yard I do not have a backyard, however there are two dog parks within my apartment complex.

Kathryn was fantastic! She took such good care of my dog and I felt completely at ease while I was gone. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and she sent me picture and text updates ech day. I would recommend her and would absolutely use her services again.

Kathryn was wonderful! She was very flexible with my drop off/ pick up time and took excellent care of my 1 year old beagle mix, Addy. I received multiple pictures throughout her stay and saw how much fun she was having playing! I highly recommend using Kathryn's dog sitting service :)

Kathryn Is amazing with animals. She has the magic touch with everything from goldfish to horses, but she excels with dogs. She has two dogs of her own that she treats like her babies. She rescued them both and with her love, they have blossomed. I highly recommend her.
