I have a fenced in backyard which will keep every pup in my care very safe. My home environment is doggy proofed so every pup will be safe and secure. Your Pets mean everything to me. While I take every precaution to ensure their safety, for your peace of mind, my business is fully covered by separate pet-sitting liability insurance that extends coverage beyond what Rover covers.

Pet care experience

I was Pup-Mom of a wonderful 16 year old Shih-tzu/bishon mix female, Suki. I rescued my pup when she was 1 so, we had an awesome 15 years together. Unfortunately, she passed away on October 2, 2023. I have 23 years of experience in pet sitting several different types of pups. I am a very reliable, responsible, trustworthy, and honest person. With all the Pups in my care we will be going on walks everyday. I own a townhouse and I have a safe fenced in backyard for play. We will have plenty of time for play, many walks, and for a good session of "go fetch".

Kathy was the best! Rumi felt relaxed and comfortable all weekend, and Kathy provided lovely video updates. It was so nice to have such a peace of mind knowing Rumi was safe and in great hands!

All I can say is “WOW”. What an incredible job Katherine did with Toby! He was extremely well cared for and Katherine took him on walks and spent time with him. She sent us regular updates and videos of him with her. We were traveling and were 1000 miles away and none of us had to worry about him. We knew that he was safe, well cared for and appreciated.
