Pet care experience

Big Yard. Big Love. Insured. 🌳🐾

Trusted & Compassionate Pet Care As a devoted dog mom and loving parent to three humans, I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember! Working from home with a flexible schedule gives me the freedom to provide extra attention and affection to pups in need. Having been a Rover user myself, I understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust—so I’m excited to offer a warm, loving environment for your furry companion. Why Choose Me? 🐾 Experienced with Special-Needs Dogs - My own dog struggles with separation anxiety and loud noises, so I understand how important patience, reassurance, and individualized care can be. My beloved Clyde, who has since crossed the Rainbow Bridge, had dietary restrictions and difficulty navigating stairs, which gave me firsthand experience caring for dogs with additional needs. I’m also comfortable administering oral and injectable medications as needed. 🐾 Volunteer Experience – My time at FurKids in Alpharetta has given me hands-on experience walking dogs, socializing with them, and even handling essential tasks like washing toys and answering calls. It was a truly rewarding role that reinforced my passion for pet care. 🐾 Flexible Schedule – Because I work from home, I can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Let’s Meet! I’d love to welcome your dog into my care, offering the love, attention, and reliability they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and host your dog! 🐶

Kathleen was great about updating us and sending pictures. Bella was well cared for, took all her meds and got plenty of attention and outside time.

Kathleen was fantastic with Arnold. We were away for 2 weeks and she kept us updated everyday with pictures and insights on how he was doing. I would recommend her in a second.

Moose had a great stay with Kathleen! She has a very nice, clean home & a fun backyard with sweet pup neighbors that moose loved playing with. Moose has some tricky allergies that Kathleen was very attentive to and took seriously as well. She was communicative throughout his stay with daily updates and photos. We appreciated all the pictures! Moose was well taken care of and we’ll definitely bring him back. We’d recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

More Than Pet Sitting. A Home Away From Home. 🏡🐾 I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with someone they know, not at a boarding facility. My home offers a relaxed, family-style environment, a large fenced backyard, plenty of comfortable space, and personalized care based on your pup’s normal routine. 🛋️ Couch cuddler? They’re welcome. 🌳 Love being outside? There’s plenty of fenced space to play and explore. 💤 Have a specific bedtime routine? I’ll do my best to keep it familiar. 💛 Need extra attention or a little time to settle in? Every dog gets individualized care. ✅ Independently Insured – I’ve taken the extra step of carrying my own pet-sitting insurance in addition to the Rover Guarantee, because your dog’s care and your peace of mind matter. Please note: My dog-friendly HOA community has breed restrictions, and my home is best suited for pups 70 lbs. or less. Your dog will be cared for like family in a safe, welcoming environment tailored to their needs. 🐾

A typical day

A Built-In Best Friend for Your Dog 🐾💕 Your dog won’t just have a sitter. They’ll have a built-in playmate and welcoming home environment filled with attention, toys, walks, and plenty of opportunities to play or relax. Meet Morgan Grace! 🐕 🐾 Friendly built-in companion – My sweet 40-lb dog (or as my sons refer to her, meatball), Morgan Grace, loves having canine company and welcoming new friends 💕 Dog-friendly environment – She enjoys being around other dogs and sharing her home with visiting dogs 🎾 Plenty of playtime – Toys, indoor fun, backyard play, and interaction are part of our everyday routine 🐾 Walks & activity – Regular walks help keep pups active, happy, and engaged 🏡 Relaxed, family-style home – Whether your dog wants to play, explore, cuddle, or nap, they’re welcome to make themselves at home Morgan Grace especially loves having canine companions after losing her brother, Clyde. Having furry friends around brings her so much joy, and she’s always happy to share her home, toys, and playtime with a new buddy. 🐾💛

Every Dog Is Different, and That’s the Point 🐾💕 A great stay starts with getting to know your dog! I welcome Meet & Greets so your dog can meet me and Morgan Grace, explore the home and backyard, and become familiar with their new surroundings before their stay. Tell me all the little things that make your dog your dog: 🐾 Their daily routine 🍽️ Feeding preferences 🐕 Walk & potty schedule 💤 Sleeping habits 🎾 Favorite activities & toys 💊 Medications or special care 💕 Anxieties, triggers & sensitivities My own dog gets nervous during thunderstorms and fireworks, so I know firsthand that great care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Understanding your dog’s quirks, comforts, and routine helps me provide the personalized care I’d want for my own. The goal? Your dog feels at home, and you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re being loved and cared for. 🏡🐾
