Safety, trust & environment

I have a senior cat who doesn’t do well with other animals so I can’t provide care in my home, but I have extensive experience providing care in my client’s homes. I respect my client’s homes and privacy - I do not bring guests into their homes or go through their belongings. I will keep your dog on-leash during walks but am happy to play with your dog in your yard or approved dog park.

Information Kathleen B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog is around other dogs and any notable stressors or behaviors. I’d love to know about their favorite walks and games and anything that is off-limits.

A typical day

I will take your dog on walks around the neighborhood. We’ll go at your pet’s pace, stopping to investigate every smell or walking briskly. If you like your dog to go to the dog park I’m happy to take them. We can also do trail walks, or throw a ball around.

I have over 20 years of experience watching family and friend’s pets. I do over-night stays in your house with your pets, and dog walking. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, fish, and even lizards. I’m able to give medications, and I’m very good with senior pets.

Kathleen stayed in our house and took care of our dog and two cats for almost 10 days! This was our second time with Kathleen. While we were away, I was confident that I'd be advised of any problems (there were none) and that the pets were well cared for. I received pictures and notes which were reassuring and which showed content pets who were very comfortable and happy with Kathleen, which is what it's all about! The cats and dogs hung out with Kathleen all together, all 3 together, which almost never happens! Will definitely use Kathleen again. If there were more than 5 stars, she deserves them all.

Kathleen was great! Very communicative, gave our dog lots of nice long walks, and left the house in perfect shape.

Took brilliant care of my pup Pearl very last minute. Kathleen took great care of her and I came back to a happy pup. It is a big relief to have someone I trust taking care of Pearl.
