About Kath R.

Dog skills

30 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and doggy door that most dogs learn how to use very quickly. Making sure dogs are compatible with each other is a priority. Slow introductions are managed by having dogs meet in a neutral space and then we go for a walk so the dogs get used to each other before entering the house for more socializing.

Home

Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Information Kath R. would like to know about your pet

I like to keep track of vet info for each dog as well as feeding schedule & quantity, potty schedule and emergency contact info. Special needs or requests always discussed before accepting sitting services.

A typical day

I usually walk around the block. It's a one mile loop that can be expanded to two or three miles. We also play ball or frisbee in the back yard, depending on exercise needs of the dog.

Pet care experience

I am a foster Mom for rescue dogs. I've also successfully trained a service dog for Helping Paws. Dog sitting is a way for me to socialize pets while helping out fellow dog lovers. I offer pick up and delivery service as well as airport runs for clients as a convenience for folks who live nearby. My home is conveniently located off of 394 and 494. The fenced in back yard is escape proof (rescue dog tested) and I have gates in the house to keep dogs from escaping through open doors. Safety is a priority. I retired from corporate life a few years ago and found my new passion is caring for pets. My husband is also a big help! PS. No Pit Bull's or Chihuahua's please

We really appreciated all the pictures and updates Kathy sent to us. Pepper came home as if she had never left so we know she felt totally comfortable in your care. Great experience!

Tot loved her stay with Kathy! She came home absolutely pooped out. Kathy was great! Can't wait to rebook with her again soon.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
