Availability

I’m a nanny, so my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet sitting needs such as daily visits, walks, feeding, and playtime. However, I prefer not to provide overnight boarding services in my own home. I’m happy to work around your schedule to ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable care while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live on an acre of fenced-in land with a privacy fence, providing plenty of secure space for pets to play and explore without risk of escape. I prefer to provide pet care in the client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable and in familiar surroundings. I prioritize safety by carefully following each owner’s instructions and giving there fur friend plenty of time to explore and exercise (walks, playing with toys, etc.)

Information Kathleen B. would like to know about your pet

Before I care for your pet, it’s helpful to know a few key things to make sure I can give them the best experience possible. I’d love to know their feeding schedule, dietary needs, and whether they have any allergies. It’s also important to understand their bathroom routine, medical needs, and any medications they might require. Getting a sense of their personality—whether they’re playful, shy, anxious, or reactive—helps me tailor my care. Let me know any commands they know, house rules I should follow, and how much exercise or playtime they’re used to. Comfort items like favorite toys or blankets can make a big difference, and having your contact info, a backup emergency contact, and your vet’s number on hand is always a good idea. All of this helps me create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for your pet while you’re away.

A typical day

I love to keep your pets happy, active, and engaged—both physically and mentally. Whether it’s playing fun games, exploring new sights and smells on a walk, or simply enjoying some quiet cuddle time, I tailor the experience to each pet’s personality. I have a safe, cozy environment and a big park nearby for outdoor adventures, as well as an acre of fenced in backyard and I’m always ready to give them the attention, stimulation, and love they need while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I bring a broad range of pet care experience, including raising kittens, fostering strays until they were rehomed, and caring for pets of all ages—from playful puppies to senior animals with special needs. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals, which allows me to provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and requirements. I’m comfortable with all types of pets, not just cats and dogs, and I’m committed to creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while their owners are away.

Kathleen did an excellent job following our directions and taking care of our pups. House was just as clean as we left it and pups were in good spirits. Kathleen provided us daily pictures and updates and was quick to respond to our communications! I would definitely use Kathleen again!

The best sitter you could ever find! Took great care of my 3 cats, and gave them all the love I couldn’t while I was away.

Kathleen was wonderful. Her availability and caring personality for animals is great. She made sure to greet everyone and make sure all were safe each day. I’ll be booking with her in the future and she has my recommendation for anyone needing a pet sitter.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
