Military pet-parenting can be hard!
Pet care experience
Let me help you! I've been Army for many years, and over half of those, I've owned, fostered, volunteered, watched, etc., many many dogs and cats. I know how hard it can be to balance family with late work days, TDY, PCS, vacations, etc. Let me help, and love your animals like you do! I recently fostered a pregnant mom dog and helped her through the labor, delivery, and raising/training her puppies until they were ready for adoption. I have two dogs myself (both fixed). One is trained to be a service dog, and a very calm, submissive 58lb pittie. The other is a 30lb medium-energy French Bulldog. So your dogs will have someone to play with to match their energy level! I have a younger, playful, but blind calico cat. We love animals in my house! :) Unless they scratch up leather furniture.... But if you have a bird or other animal that needs sitting, my cat won't be able to get to it. I have a large fenced in yard to play in when I'm home, but they'll be in the house when I'm at work during the day. I also have GPS tracker collars that we can put on your pup if they like to be escape artists, for some peace of mind. I have pee pads, crates, different styles and sizes of pet beds, or whatever it is your baby may need. I've dealt with animals that need medicine administered daily, anxiety, and other special needs. Because I'm stationed at Ft Sill, I occassionally return to Wichita on weekends, as my family is still in Kansas. I will let you know if you request one of those weekends, so we can decide if your baby is able/willing to travel with my babies and I. I'm still available, but Rover doesn't give me a way to update my locations on the calendar, so I will communicate this with you on an individual basis, as applicable. I would love to spoil your fur-babies, and I look forward to working with you!
Reviews
Again, Kathryne was awesome I don't want to brag too much about her. Such a great person so helpful so thoughtful came through in a clutch last minute she's able to help out and watch the puppies. Then she went above and beyond with giving very great advice for my older dog 🐕. She was so awesome wish I could hire her full-time!
I am real stingy on my reviews I usually never give out five stars but she deserves this rating. Kathryn was hands down awesome. She made sure to stay in contact with me a couple days before and all way up to the day of sitting. She made sure to ask if there were any special cares or needs. When she arrived to the house she was on time spent a lot of time with the dogs playing and living them as if they were her own dogs. She sent pictures and make sure to communicate everything they were doing. She even conducted a follow-up to make sure everything was okay. It is really difficult leaving your babies behind but with her I had no worries in the world she was awesome sitter. I definitely recommend she is the next Dog Whisperer.??
Kathryne has a beautiful spirit, is respectful of all people and animals and is generous in dealings with others. Her heart is full of love to give and she enjoys giving it to her husband, step son, friends and dogs! Kathryne is responsible, organized, super-clean, intelligent, trustworthy, understanding, punctual, determined and strives to be the best at everything she does. Did I mention how joyfully she loves dogs?!? She learned everything she could find, created a puppy nursery, was prepared for every emergency, loved a pregnant dog, and the 7 puppies she delivered. Kathryne worked tirelessly to train them and prepare them for adoption. Her own dogs are well trained yet allowed to live their own personalities out. You will be glad you chose her to care for your fur babies!

If your dog is an escape artist, I also have GPS collars. I've broken up many dog fights, which isn't a brag, but to give you peace of mind that I don't panic in those moments.
Information Kathryne I. would like to know about your pet
I'm SUPER anti breed discrimination! My only requirement is that the dog isn't aggressive, and if he/she is, that there is a way to control them. That, and, I can't handle a dog that drools excessively. lol. Sorry!
A typical day
We'll likely spend our time doing training sessions and/or playing fetch, depending on what the pet needs! I LOVE training dogs, so your dog won't just have a comfy home, but they'll also hopefully learn something or practice something while they're with me! We can discuss what you're wanting to work on.

Availability
I currently work full time, but I have a doggy door that allows even big dogs access to a privacy fenced yard. If the dogs can't be trusted, I can close it and come home at lunch. I'm flexible to the needs of the animals that I show run my life. ;)
