Pet care experience
I have experience working for a brick & mortar dog-walking agency, where I had a regular route of 20+ dogs per day. I have successfully dealt with problem behaviors (nipping, barking, pulling), and became an expert poop-picker-upper. I can take your dog for a run or your cat for a stroll (yes, I do own a cat stroller). I will cuddle with your (non-poisonous) snake and talk to your bird. If doing drop-ins, I am happy to accommodate reasonable add-ons to cat or dog care, such as watering plants, taking in the mail, and feeding and caring for small animals of all types (subject to restrictions under Rover's dangerous animals policy). Animals I have owned and cared for in the past: dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rats, lizards, turtles (both water and land), snakes, frogs, toads, salamanders, budgies, freshwater fish, honey bees. When I worked for a pet-sitting agency, I also took care of cockatoos, finches, parrots, saltwater fish, gerbils, hedgehogs, chinchillas, and tarantulas.
Reviews
Kathleen was fantastic! Great communication throughout. Really put my mind at ease while I was away
Kathleen was amazing! She made Ray feel right at home and was very easy to book and coordinate with.
Kathleen cared for my 2 cats (including 2x/day meds for one) for 8 days--a big job! She provided great care and communication throughout and went the extra mile to help my shy cat feel comfortable, and to make my needy cat feel loved. Thank you!
Great job taking care of our fur babies.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for pets in my home, subject to making sure they will be able to get along with my dog and three cats. My fence is also rather low and may not be suitable for some dogs. Please contact me to discuss further and/or do a free trial visit.
Home
Information Kathleen D. would like to know about your pet
I'd obviously want to meet the dog (and I assume the dog wants to meet me!) before starting any service, but we can discuss any unique needs or behaviors at that visit. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes.
A typical day
Dog walks around the neighborhood, or a park if there is one close by. Depending on dog's preference, we can play fetch or tug or chill on the floor for belly rubs. I will take dogs jogging upon request.
Services

Availability
I will do daily drop-ins or short-term stays at my home while you are on vacation. I have a regular job, so I am not available for indefinite bookings. My job hours are fairly flexible, so I can swing most general time frames, but if you need someone to drop in at an exact time, I am probably not the best fit.
