Pet care experience
I live to cuddle and care for pups! I am a dog groomer who ownsy own home-based business, so I am almost always home and I'm able to provide grooming services during your pups stay if requested. I worked in doggie daycares for 5 years, grooming for 5 years, and have been a rover sitter for 5 years. Working with dogs is what I do best :) I have a large yard next to the all seasons orchard, and spend most of the day outside with pups throwing toys when I'm not grooming! I have been volunteering at animal shelters since i was 11 (currently 26) and have learned alot of things on the way. I know a lot about animal behavior, and i'm great with handling dogs of all sizes. For house visits, ill play with your dog the whole time and tire them out if they're energetic, or hangout and cuddle if thats more their style. Your dog will get plenty of excercise on a walk with me, I love to run! All in all, your dog is safe with me and will have a blast while in my care!
Reviews
Kathleen put in SO much time and effort on such a short notice to make him so happy. She hung out with him all afternoon And gave him the best dog vacation ever! I LOVED all the picture updates shes sent too it melted me heart. You could tell she really loved Louie and he loved her :’)
Nut Nut had a great stay with Kathleen. Her communication was excellent. I would highly recommend Kathleen, and I plan to have our dog stay with her again for our next trip.
If you are looking for reliable, friendly, responsive pet care while you are out, then look no further. Our cats love Kathleen, and we love having Kathleen's help.
Kathleen is the best, and we are always grateful when we can book her while we are out of town. She writes the best check-in summaries and sends great pics of our cats. It is such a relief to know that our cats are in good hands!

Safety, trust & environment
Pets are treated like family in my home! I have a female GSD for your pup to play with and two dog friendly cats. Animals are allowed on the furniture, we spend alot of time playing outside in the large yard and lots of time cuddling in my single family home. Dogs are required to be kennel trained to sleep at night, for the safety of all animals while I'm not awake to supervise.
Home
Information Kathleen C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your dog is leash/fence/crate reactive or has any "triggers" such as he/she gets nippy when you touch them in a certain place, or he/she doesnt get along with other dogs or shouldnt be around children.
A typical day
If your dog is energetic, I spend most of the day throwing toys and playing in the yard with some inside chill-out breaks. If your dog is on the calm side, we spend most of the day just hanging out inside with movies and cuddles with outside breaks.
