I am called the dog lady, Ok by me
Pet care experience
I have been rescuing mostly seniors with special needs for the last 25 years. I have the utmost respect and love for all animals. I have a lot of experience in the care of giving meds to any furry baby . My love and patience for all animals is unlimited . Nothing I won’t do for them !! I love bathing dogs and cutting their nails, something I can do at no charge if your dog is ok with it 😄🐾❤️
Reviews
Kathleen was amazing with my littles. Our dogs range from 13 years to 7 months and she knew exactly how to make all of them comfortable. She sent video updates frequently and I never had to worry about how they were doing. Her yard is completely fenced so there is no risk of anyone wandering off. The visit was amazing. I could tell immediately how much Kathleen loves animals. I would leave my babies with her again!
Kathy did an amazing job taking care of my two Labradors while I was out of town. They got plenty of exercise, went on some adventures around town, and got lots of love and pets. She sent daily updates with pictures/videos. She was quick to get back to my messages and professional throughout the entire process. I will be reaching out again next time I go out of town and would highly recommend her to others looking for a sitter in the Gainesville area. She is a true animal lover and pleasure to work with!
I have known Kathy for over 15 years. She is a true angel for animals. Whenever an animal is in need, she will do whatever it takes to help. This is not just a job for Kathy, this is something she truly enjoys. Kathy will make sure your pet gets great care, extra love and attention while you are away. There is no one I would trust more with my animal companions!
Kathleen was amazing with our fur baby! She exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her.

I have a completely fenced in backyard and a fenced in front yard. I have sweet small old dogs that are great with all pets. I have the means to separate if necessary . I have an extra large crate if necessary that was donated to me that gets very little use. To me , all furry babies are a part of the family. They are welcome in my bed and on my leather furniture . Treats and doggy ice cream are a daily tradition here .
Home
Information Kathleen D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I should know about . I also would like a list of their likes and dislikes and what their schedule is in their home . I want to keep them as close to their routine as possible .
A typical day
I have a fenced in deck with an above ground pool. The gate is self locking. In the summertime I have a lot of floats for dogs in the pool and one has an umbrella on it . Perfect place for a dog to have his doggy ice cream. I even have a little cabana double chair with an overhang to protect them from the sun. I also have two 9 foot umbrellas to keep them in the shade . Belly rubs is my specialty ! For more active dogs I have a separate fenced in area that i can throw the ball and they can run and play fetch . I have many baskets of doggy toys that they can choose from, and if they really like any of them they can go home with it. I do have a grooming station in my home if anyone needs a cleaning up .

I am going to retire in the next month, and I couldn’t think of anything that I would rather do than care for animals! My schedule will be completely open 24/7
