Safety, trust & environment
I have a pet safe house where all furniture is secure and there is nothing that is available for ingestion or poison within pet's vicinity or access. I have to make sure all pets get along with my cat otherwise I do confine my cat to my room for the day while I am at work so other pet's can free roam without stress. I have interactive toys to keep cats and dogs busy and an enclosed backyard with a 10 foot concrete wall surrounding the entire perimeter with one gate w/ secured boards and a double lock. In others homes I try to pair with pets if the behavior allots it by playing with toys/ treats but I make sure nothing has been accessed that shouldn't be and secure the environment the same way I would my own house if not already. Preventative care is the best care and my priority is making sure an environment is prepped beforehand to reduce all risk.

Information kathleen b. would like to know about your pet
**I have a 3 legged cat so I do require a meet n greet before hand for boarding big animals to assure for Bean's safety 🐱 **I am comfortable around fractious animals so please let me know ahead of time as I have experience in navigating them so they feel least panicked in their environments.
A typical day
I try to match every pet's energy so if they're very low energy, I will do stuff like peanut butter inside of a kong or if they have a favorite treat I will try to incorporate it into something they can sit and enjoy like a licking mat of some sort. I have an enclosed backyard so pets are welcome to enjoy time out there with the screen door open so I can hear or see when they're ready to come inside! Cats- I have many many interactive toys and am in the process of a 2nd larger cat tree! My cat is very playful and young so he does a lot of the entertainment for me 🐱 💞

Reviews
Great sitter! Multiple photos, really good communication and even watered the plants. She went above and beyond. Thank you for watching our baby.
Kathleen is amazing. She’s great with my labradoodle, Murphy. I feel good knowing she’s with her.
AMAZING!!! I’m so grateful for Kathleen!!
Kathleen was amazing our goldendoodle is picky with eating and hates when we’re away. But she made her feel at ease taking her on long early morning and late night walks which she loves, and having her by her side the whole time giving her lots of pets. She also mixed the chicken we left into her food like we asked her to which helped her eat. A couple of my favorite things though is she was very honest with us, telling us she didn’t eat much the last couple days instead of trying to hide it, and she was incredible at sending updates with cute pics. I’d definitely book with her again and will tell friends and neighbors about her. You can trust her with your house and dog.
