Pet care experience

I want to walk your dog

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.

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.

House Sitting • May 18, 2026

We have never used a sitter in our house before our dogs before but thought we should try it because one of our dogs get anxious going to other people's houses. Kathleen was such a great choice in a house/dog sitter. She was communicative, sent plenty of photos of the dogs, and overall went above and beyond in making sure they were well cared for while we were away for the weekend, including administering eyedrops to one of dogs who HATES getting them and walking a tough walker. We would 100% recommend Kathleen and will definitely be requesting her again for future house sits if she is available!

I had a great experience leaving my pup Pearl with Kathleen and had peace of mind while I was away with regular photo updates and came back to a happy dog. I have already booked again.

Kathleen was great! She was able to help me in a last minute pinch and took great care of Annie.

Kathleen is wonderful! She has helped us both with occasional dog walking and a 1 week home stay with our 2 dogs. She is communicative, reliable, and so easy to work with. While we were away on vacation recently, we had complete peace of mind knowing our dogs (and home) were in her care. She sent regular updates and clearly took the time to understand our dog’s needs—our dogs were happy and well cared for when we got home, and the house was spotless. Kathleen is warm, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!!!

Kathleen stayed with Sadie for 2 weeks. She kept me in the loop with daily updates and I know Sadie enjoyed her long walks and trips to the park!

Kathleen looked after our dog Luna for 3 nights and did a fantastic job. I get a little nervous about leaving Luna on trips, but Kathleen's updates, photos and videos erased those worries. Luna had a lot of fun and was in great hands. Highly recommended!!

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.
