Pet care experience

The best pet grandma ever.

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes for 35+ years. I have experience in puppy training, elderly pet care, calming nervous pets, exercising overweight or hyper pets, and I love every animal with all of my heart along the way. I love lots of play time, but I’m a pro at chilling out with the elders too!

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to day care in my home- I currently have no pets of my own so there will be no interference if you have an animal that doesn’t like other buddies. I don’t have a fenced yard but am able and eager to take lots of walks! I have dog and cat toys at home and water and food bowls ready to go. As far as stopping by or hanging out at your place- I will accommodate any needs you and your pets would like.

I could not have asked for a more caring, communicative person to love on and keep my fur family safe. Kathi is wonderful and i will not hesitate to ask her to care for my cats in the future!

I am hesitant to leave this review, as we want to keep Kathi for ourselves. :D She was awesome with our fur boy Thor. We received daily pics, she played with him and when we got home the house was clean and we could tell our fur boy was well cared for. Thank you Kathi, we will absolutely book you again!

Kathi was the best pet sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She accommodated all 3 of my animals individual needs with ease and intuition. She’s active when need be, knowledgeable about many facets of pet care, and my animals loved her! She is very trustworthy and reliable.

Kathi was the absolute best dog sitter a dog owner could ask for. She was extremely active with walks and play. She was so good in fact when I went to pick up my dog he didn’t want to leave. I would highly recommend Kathi for all your dog watching needs.

I have known Kathi for eight years and I have never had anybody who was kinder to pets than her. Dogs particularly are attracted to her. She makes friends with all manner of dogs. There is a saying that dogs can "read" a good person and stay away from a bad person who would like to beat or ignore a pet. Dogs are a good barometer of someone who is inherently kind, gentle, and warmhearted, as opposed to one who is cruel, hostile, or unkind. Kathi has had many pets, and they all love her. She has sat for dogs either long term or just overnight and she will treat your dog with the same attention and consideration as her own. I would recommend Kathi without reservation and I am sure that you will be pleased with her service.

It is important to know if the animal has any special needs. Any medication it may be on. If it prefers long walks or has mobility issues. Also any level of aggression or fears the animal has. His/her reaction to strangers and other pets
