I have a large fenced yard and 4 of my own dogs to help keep your dogs company. They are rescues ( labs and lab mixes )and used to having dog visitors on a regular basis.

I can crate your dogs if you want also .

Pet care experience

I have had many years of experience with pets. I have had pets in my home personally forever. I am a member of NAPPS (national association of professional pet sitters). I have taken Red Cross dog first aid course. I especially love seniors . I also do dogsitting for family members and friends . My house is furniture and bed friendly to dogs. I will spoil your baby and they will love all the attention.

Kathleen and her pack made Sam feel so welcome. She gives the dogs space to do what they need to do to be comfortable, which I appreciate. She played ball with Sam which made him super happy. And it sounds like Sam and Kathleen's 8 year old lab Ruthie became fast friends. Sam moped after we picked him up which is always a good sign that he enjoyed himself. Sam will be coming back for future visits.

Kathleen did a wonderful job watching my dog for me while I attended a wedding. I really wanted to make sure my dog would have other dogs to play with during his stay and Kathleen has dogs of her own which my dog got along with well. She shared photos and updates in the rover app and was able to accommodate the late evening pick up. I recommend Kathleen.

Kathleen was amazing to work with! She was very responsive, caring and flexible! My pup had a great time with her and her dogs! I was very nervous at first as she has bigger dogs and mine is not great with other dogs especially bigger ones, but as she assured her dogs were extremely calm, so my pup got along with the perfectly. I enjoyed the photos and videos Kathleen shared of my dog!

Kathleen was wonderful! She was quick to respond and very flexible. Well equipped with puppy gates and pee pads just in case. My senior was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Kathleen.

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.
