Pet care experience

I have a special soft spot for seniors dogs, including dealing with accidents, giving medication, and setting up cozy heating pads. With more active dogs, I love going on longer hikes in the woods.

Super kind, reliable, and great with Georgie. I had complete peace of mind while I was away for the weekend. I also appreciated the flexibility to accommodate an extra night when my flight got delayed. Georgie was very well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again

Kathryne was a wonderful sitter for our dog Mabel! She provided great updates and keep our dog comfortable at home. She went above and beyond to leave our place even nicer than when we left, and helped out extra when our flight got delayed. We so appreciate the flexibility, communication and care!

Kathryne was great with my dog Birdie who can be very reactive and anxious. She was very patient with her and Birdie warmed up well over time! She also left my apartment very clean.
