Information Kathleen D. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any specific needs or special requirements, kindly inform me in advance so that I can make the necessary preparations to accommodate them properly. Your pet must be up to date on vaccinations and tick/flea free when you drop them off. We will schedule a meet and greet prior to booking your scheduled stay. This is an opportunity for you to see where your pet will be staying, and for all of us to get acquainted.

A typical day

A typical day includes playing "fetch" with a variety of toys, both indoors and outside. Outside, we also have fun with chase games around the yard until we are all tired out. The more senior dogs love to lay in the soft grass and enjoy a sunbath! Then back inside for them to nap, lounge, snuggle, or get tummy rubs. This is the best time of the day for me to have individual time with each fur baby.

Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors with special needs. Right now I have a senior bichon-poodle mix. I rescued her as a puppy in 2014. I have created a custom "doggie yard" to ensure all everyone can run and play in a secure and safe place every time we go outside. I have also had recent experience caring for a blind senior Yorkie. I learned how to prepare the inside of my home to accommodate his disability.

Kathleen is the best! She attends to Katya and I’ve never seen Katya more excited.

Kathleen was fabulous & took excellent care of our Gracie. We are always glad when Kathleen is available for her care & it sets our mind at ease while away. We will always book with Kathleen when the need arises!

I highly recommend Kathleen!!! My 2 dogs felt at ease first time they saw her. She sent me updates and pictures while we were away. I did not worry once about our babies while we were gone.

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.
