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.

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.

Kathryne took great care of our dog and our house. The house looked untouched when we came back. I’m a very anxious dog mom and Kathryne staying with Lito for a few nights, I felt at ease. Our area is so busy, I get anxiety just thinking about it, but something about Kathryne’s energy is calming and I was able to relax while away for work. Also she’s a great photographer because the photos she sent everyday were too good! We would love to have her come back next time! Thank you soooo much.
