About: I have always had a love for animals since I can remember. I rescued and rehabbed two feral kittens that were living under a dumpster to my own rescued pup. I have had guest dogs in my home from tiny to extra large. They always received the same care as my own dog from sleeping in bed with us to plenty of walks and outdoor time. They will be in great, responsible hands with me! I currently have my own business so I make my schedule. I can be flexible with days of the week and times even with last minute notice. I always ensure the pets are secure via leash before leaving the home to go for walks or when they are "in" for the day (crates, baby gate - no matter their set up). I also gather all the information about the animal - any reactions to certain situations, recall cues etc prior to visits.
About: Animals have been in my life since I can remember. My parents live on a farm and adopt, dogs, cats, and farm animals in need . I am currently working towards my degree as a licensed veterinary technician and I previously worked at Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Services as an Animal Care Assistant. While working there, I learned many emergent medical skills and I provided care for post -op, and special needs animals. I love being outside with dogs, playing fetch, soccer, frisbee, etc. it is a great way for dogs (and myself) to get moving and stay healthy! I also love cuddle time on the couch. I am truly happiest when I am spending time with and caring for animals. A wagging tail or purring cat puts a smile on my face and fills my heart with purpose!
“Kathy is amazing! Great communication throughout the time she watched my pup and cares for them like they were her own. Sends constant updates and easy to reach if you have a question. I will be using Kathy again definitely!”
About: I have been taking care of pets of all different types since I was little. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, even a bearded dragon. I have also help on farms here and there. My approach with your pet is slow and gentle to allow them their space and comfort while getting to know me. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays so I am able to care for your pet on my days off as well as before and after my working hours. I have 2 large dogs that are my babies. I walk them daily and love to play in the back yard with them. They get lots of love and snuggles! As a caregiver to your pet, I would provide the same level of love, affection, playtime and support to your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a little over 5 years. I have my current dog and dog sat for family and friends. I’m entrusted to feed, walk, play and bathe (if necessary) their dogs when they have come over or if I go over to their house. My current dog takes medicine as needed (pill form) so always willing to give medicine to a dog. I work full time as a nurse, but on night shift and only 3-12s. If you were to book with me, I’d make sure I didn’t have work the nights you are booking with me. My schedule is flexible. I care for your pets like my own and my goodness my dog is spoiled. Dogs at my house are allowed on all furniture, negate tables, and will be treated like they are my own. I have a fenced in yard and dog door that allows them to be able to go in and out at their leisure or I’ll take out as much as needed. Treats (if your dog is allowed or they aren’t on a specific weight loss or diet plan) are always given. Meds , if needed for your dog will be given on a timely basis.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine love for dogs. I grew up around dogs and other pets, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve personally raised and trained my own puppy, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding dog behavior at different stages of life. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra care and attention, I’m confident in creating a safe, loving environment where your pet will feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I'm able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Caring for animals is never a chore for me—I truly love spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick to their routines, provide plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, and always keep their space clean and cozy. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, so they get personalized care and lots of love—just like they would from you!
