They Call Me Modern Day Snow White

Pet care experience

I have been petsitting since I was 13. Twenty years later, and I have had numerous pets of my own. My family always jokes that I am secretly Snow White. From rescuing birds, saving bugs from inside my house, feeding squirrels, to helping a little frog be saved from a lawnmower... I love all creatures great and small! I love being outdoors and connect more with animals than I do with people. I love to hike, run, swim, bike, and take walks in the woods. I will love and care for your pets as I do with my own pets, giving them attention and love just like you would. I also have experience Farm sitting! I am comfortable with chickens, goats, ducks, etc. If there is an animal I am unfamiliar with, I'd love the opportunity to learn! :)

Kat is amazing! She took excellent care of our doggie during a drop in visit. She sent lots of pictures, and a thoughtful and thorough write up of her visit. We could relax knowing she stopped by and we can’t wait to have Kat back again!

I’m so happy that our family found Kat! She is kind, patient, professional, responsible, and takes good care of our senior Frenchie while we are at work. Kat always leaves a detailed note after each visit and includes lots of pictures for us to enjoy! I know that Rosie is in good hands with Kat!

Thanks Kathleen. Looks like Astrid and you had a great time. Astrid even showed you her Zoomie skills. Terrific job! Thanks again for taking care of my girl on a short notice.

Kathleen is so good with our dogs! She is our go-to whenever we want a quick getaway to ourselves. It’s so nice to have someone reliable that we know is going to love on our pups just as much as we do when we are home 🤍🤍

As my profile states, I am a Modern Day Snow White. I will follow any instructions you've got and will go the extra miles to keep your animals safe. My commitment to you is to communicate with photos and be available with any questions or concerns at any time. I am a responsible pet owner- our dogs get routine vet care, grooming, and lots of attention. I will notify you if I notice anything off or needing immediate attention, just like I would with my own pets. I have a clear background and driving record, too!

Information Kathleen F. would like to know about your pet

HOUSE/PET SITTING OVERNIGHT CARE (Tobacco Smokers): I have allergies to tobacco products so I cannot do overnights in homes that are smoked in. It is to both protect my health and wellbeing as well as allow for me to give proper care to your fur babies ( I want everyone happy and healthy :) )! One thing I do not want to do is to accept a job and then have to turn around cut it short due to a reaction or illness from exposure. I do not have a problem with doing drop-ins/walks during the day and night, but I cannot sleep there. I am fine with incense and candles, etc. This is a nonnegotiable for me! Thank you for understanding, Please provide a detailed list of times, medications/supplements, your vet and emergency contact info, and what you expect from your stay. Please list any allergies and what you’d like to have completed on each visit. Please contact me with any concerns or questions!

A typical day

I love to take dogs to parks and for walks and runs with me. Playing fetch and running through rivers and lakes is fun, too! I’m not afraid of getting dirty or of slobbery dog kisses. I have a state park pass and metro park pass, so I am willing to take your pup out there, too, if your dog needs longer or more stimulation. I am also perfectly fine giving lots of cuddles and attention to your baby right there at your home or in your neighborhood. Whatever makes your pet (and you) happy!

I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty wide open, especially when school is in session but during summer I am pretty flexible, too! I can work around and with just about anything you've got going on.
