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.

Kathleen was a lifesaver. We were away for a day trip and had scheduled her to walk our dog mid-day. While we were on the trip we had an emergency that made it impossible for us to get home to walk and feed our dog that evening as planned. Kathleen was quick to respond and helped us out last-minute for a second visit the same day.

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.

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.
