Safety, trust & environment

When with your pets, I will treat them as my own and make sure all of their needs are met. I will make sure to respect your home and leave it in the same or better condition as when you left!

Information Kathleen B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any specific needs, preferences, or behaviors I should be aware of as well as anything I would need to know about your home while caring for them. If I'm providing drop-ins for a longer time away, please make sure to leave your vets number and an emergency contact for if I can't reach you.

A typical day

Whatever your pup needs, I can provide! Whether your dog is a calm cuddle bug or has high energy zoomies, I can provide engaging activities for them. From long walks and fetch outside, to training activities and enrichment, I'll make sure your fur baby gets the physical and mental stimulation they need.

Reliable and Loving pet care

Pet care experience

I've spent my whole life with animals, from dogs and cats, to reptiles and rodents. I love them all. I've cared for a number of friends and families fur babies over the years. I am a reliable caregiver who treats every pet like my own. Whether your pup loves long adventures or slow sniff-filled strolls, I make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I've cared for senior dogs and have experience with basic medication administration.

So thankful for Kathleen for taking care of my cat last minute as I went away for the weekend. Would highly recommend!

Kathleen is a great pet care provider. We booked her on a short notice and she was there immediately to take care of our cat. She was on time every day and make sure she is not only giving food and water to our cat but also try to play with our cat. We saw pictures everyday with a detailed note. It was an excellent experience overall. We will always book her for our pet. Thank you, Kathleen.

Kathleen has cared for our dog Milo on several occasions. She is very gentle and affectionate with him, and we feel that he is very safe under her care. She has been able to follow any instructions we have given her and does not hesitate to ask questions. We would recommend her to care for your pet either in your home or hers. We trust her completely.

Kathleen is great with dogs and incredibly reliable. She loves dogs and cares about them a lot. She's been around dogs basically her whole life so she knows how to act around and care for a variety of dogs.
