I am a special education teacher and love animals! I would love to watch your fur babies over the weekend when I am not at school or during any holidays! If you need someone for over the school week, your pet would need to be ok with being alone for 9 hours. This doesn’t include travel time depending on where you live. If you live too far away, I won’t accept the job. I will if you are close!

I treat pets as if they were my own. I give them love and attention. I make sure that all their needs are met, and complete with lots of snuggles!

Information Kathryn W. would like to know about your pet

Pease copy and paste these questions and answer them when you reach out for a meet and greet with me! 1. What are your dog(s) favorite things (toys, treats, etc.)? 2. Does your dog(s) have any allergies? 3. What is the normal temperament of your dog(s)? 4. Does your dog(s) do well on leash/walls? 5. Is your dog(s) food motivated? 6. Any history of aggressive behavior towards other animals or humans? 7. How often do your dog(s) need to be let out to go potty? For instance, if I had to leave, how long should I plan to be back? 8. Where does your dog/pet(s) sleep at night? 9. Do you have a fenced in yard or does your dog require frequent walks? 10. Will you prefer me to stay at your house for the whole visit? 11. What tricks does your dog know?

A typical day

I like to go on walks, playtime, cuddle time, and I like to stimulate their brains with fun interactive and motivating puzzles! I try to mimic what the owners already have in place with a few extras to become your fur babies new favorite person! 😉

Pets

I love animals! It is my passion.

Pet care experience

I have lots of experience with dogs, cats, birds, lizards, guinea pigs, and more! I have owned them my whole life for one. But I have also worked at a pet lodge for a year from 2024-2025. As well as doing lots of miscellaneous dog sitting for others.

Kathryn was great. JT can be be a challenge due to size. But it evident that both he and the house were well cared for. We will use her again.

Katherine was absolutely great with Donner and Murphy during the storms we had yesterday. Played with them cuddled with them to comfort them. We’ll definitely have back as needed.
