We have 11 pets including a number of reptiles and were relieved to have someone focused on their care and enrichment. Upon our return the house was clean and everyone was happy and healthy. We appreciated all of the daily photos and check-ins of the animals. Thank you for everything, Kathryn!”

About: Ive taken care of dogs all my life and even have 2 of my own. When my oldest was only 3 weeks old I took her in because her mom rejected her. This included bottle feeding every few hours and help going potty. I can easily crate train small pups and even have experience with bigger dogs. I am currently in school and work a few hours a week; however, I am home for the majority of the day so I will be able to provide care as often or as little as needed. My apartment complex has a fenced dog park that I take my dogs daily to. My 2 dogs are very people and dog friendly so your pet will be kept company.
