Reliable Dog Walks & Drop-In Care
I am a natural with dogs, and they gravitate toward me quickly. For years, I have cared for the pets of friends and family purely out of love for animals. (Both daily walks and cared for them for weeks at a time, was known as Camp Kathy.) I pride myself on being incredibly dependable and punctual. Your home's security and your pet's safety are my absolute priorities. I maintain a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to easily adapt to whatever your week looks like—whether you need a midday walk while you are at work or drop-in care while you are out of town. I work wonderfully with all kinds of dogs. I am just as comfortable managing high-energy pups who need active exercise as I am building trust with sweet, timid rescues who need a calm, patient companion. I adapt perfectly to their unique age and personality, bringing reliable, high-quality care right to your dog's doorstep!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority when visiting your home. I always ensure doors and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving. During our walks, I keep your dog on a secure leash, stay highly alert to our surroundings, and never let them approach unknown animals. Your pet's well-being and security are always my absolute focus.
Ratings and reviews
Kathy has been my friend for 20 years. We meet to walk most weeks. I often have my daughters large somewhat reactive rescue dog with me. While I usually would walk him alone, I feel comfortable with Kathy joining these walks. She is comfortable and appropriate in greeting him and patient with his need to stop and sniff along the way. She handles his puppy like behavior like a pro. Kathy is a timely, organized, responsible woman. She is kind and loving to people and their fur babies. I personally would not hesitate to ask her to help out with a walk or feeding. if needed. I have no doubt that her schedule will fill up aquickly as she begins to offer her services on Rover.
