Pet care experience
My name is Kathleen! I have had dogs my entire life and am very passionate about all animals. My goal is making sure that owners and pups feel comfortable and are well taken care of. Before a stay or walk, I always enjoy getting as much information as possible on what your pup’s likes or dislikes are, if they have any routines, and their favorite things to do. During the stay, I always make sure to send daily updates through text and pics that will let you know just how your pup is getting along and what we’ve done that day. I’ll always go the extra mile! I love to stay active, and found some great places to go on walks with my dog. If your pup likes to stay active, they’ll be in great company with me. I know pups love to get out stretch their legs as often as possible, so getting exercise will be a big part of their stay. But don't worry there will be lots of belly rubs and kisses! I work during the day but have plenty of time to take your dog for long walks and keep the exercised. I am off every weekend and have plenty of time for drop in visits if needed. I live in a large apartment with lots of grass and dog park. I live very close to the beach and downtown where your pup and I can take walks in the morning and evening.
Reviews
She took my dog on nice walks each day and sent great daily pics!
Kathleen was wonderful at taking care of my kitty! She was very attentive and sent me lots of photos.
It’s hard for me to leave a review when it’s not completely in a positive light, but I think it’s important to leave feedback for others when using a service like this one. I actually picked this sitter from reading through reviews on this site to find a good fit. I haven’t left my dog with a new sitter in about 5 years, so I was nervous. The reviews said she was really good at communicated through the whole stay and that made me feel great. This, however, was not the case during my experience. Kathleen was very nice, but I can’t tell you much about the details of my dog’s stay. More times than not, I had to reach out to her to ask how he was doing and sometimes the response took hours. I did get a picture the first morning and few pictures of him standing here or there when I checked in. It was a stressful weekend away for me. I’m a bit of a helicopter mom with my pet, but I think communicating with the owner is part of the service. I’m sure his stay went great, but I have never had a sitter than didn’t communicate little details and give reassurance throughout the stay. When I did get a message, Kathleen was very polite and let me know he was doing great. I’m sure she is a great sitter for a lot of clients, but I just needed more communication and details to feel comfortable on my weekend away. That is why I am sharing my review, so that everyone finds the right sitter for their situation.
Kathleen was awesome with my Belgian malinois. He got tons of exercise on his daily walk and she sent many photos
