Dependable. Caring. Respectful.
Pet care experience
I've volunteered at the shelters for years; cleaning cages, sitting & comforting, medications, walking small - medium size dogs. I also done a variety of rescues such as cats (TNR), birds, turtles, and dogs (dog fighting). In recent years, I've worked with The NJ Tree Foundation planting trees in the Camden area. Planting Trees really rings my bells but so does growing my food & herbs, it's enriching, empowering and you get a great workout with a tan.
Reviews
One of the first things I learned about Kathy when we meet was her love and compassion for animals. She has done volunteer work for animal shelters in Philadelphia and Camden. She enthusiastically greets dogs when we pass them on the street, and easily laughs at their antics or just their cute faces. It is immediately apparent that she loves dogs and other animals. Kathy takes her obligations and responsibilities seriously. In the 10+ years I've known her, Kathy has always had 1 or 2 rescue cats and is faithful about their food & water, grooming and routine vet care. I have every confidence that she would treat any dog under her care as if it was her own.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My property is not fenced. My 2 cats run freely in the summer months. I have several raised beds as I grow food & herbs. There are a couple of parks within walking distance from my home. Cooper River Park is about 5 minutes away. FYI.
Information Katherine L. would like to know about your pet
Anything & everything applicable. How he/she likes to be petted, held, scratched, looked at :-) Medications & instructions. Emergencies. Favorite thing. Let's have a chat.
A typical day
Wake up - meditate, chores. 12noon I Break - Fast. Get online do my work & studies, more chores (never ends). Yoga & exercise. (When I lived in Collingswood, I use to love to walk & picnic at Cooper River Park. Collingswood still holds, in my opinion, one of the best Farmers Markets in these parts). Last, I catch up on my latest hobby (currently "Looming" & finish sanding an old chair I'm remodeling).

Availability
During the day I have my wellness studies early on. My hours after 10am are very flexible. I have dependable transportation. All is open to discussion. Nothing is set in stone except working weekends, for now.
