Pet care experience

I have had animals of all kinds in my life since childhood. Acquired an AAS in Veterinary Technology and was a vet tech for several years which allows me to administer medicines if needed. I have managed two barns with horses and barn cats; I assist in farm sitting with labradoodles, llamas, cats, chickens, donkeys and peacocks. References available upon request. I am a responsible, caring adult with integrity who wishes to supplement my income by providing attentive care for your loved pets. I take my responsibility of your pet seriously. Just recently I cared for a dog that had vestibular disease. I had to get him up frequently for physical therapy, bathroom visits outside and to assure no bedsores occurred. I am willing to go the extra mile to assure any animal gets the best care possible for their well being.

Kathleen was absolutely wonderful! She kept us updated with pictures and texts while we were away and helped us feel very comfortable about being gone from our pups. Kathleen went above and beyond both caring for our dogs and staying at our house. We are hopeful we can use her again in the future!

Ms. Kathleen is absolutely awesome! She is very caring and such a dog lover that our 4 pups were thrilled to have her stay the night with them while we went out of town.. We will definitely be re-booking her for future house sitting!

Kathleen was amazing! My dog Willow had a ton of fun staying with her and her dog Cinder. They got along great and played together the whole time. She sent me a bunch of pictures and was in great communication with me the whole time! Her large fenced backyard would be perfect for any dog to run around and play. I will definitely be bringing willow back and would highly recommend her!

Kathleen Festa is my mother. She gave me years of experience with a variety of pets and animals teaching me responsibility, respect, caring and discipline. These attributes have served me well over the years and into my career in addition to being a successful pet and house sitter. I gained a love for animals and have fostered and rescued several dogs of my own. It is my childhood and ongoing one-on-one time with my Mom that gives me the pleasure to recommend her to care for your pets. She will give each animal the personal care and attention that you would bestow upon them. Her attributes include timeliness, a true sense of ownership of your pet, a desire to give them the best care she possibly can and to make them feel safe and cared for in your absence.

Information Kathleen F. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know his temperament; how he interacts with other dogs and people; does he have specific likes? Fears? Needs? Medical concerns? Does he enjoy playing with other dogs? What specifics does the owner want while their dog is in my care? How can I make their dog feel comfortable?

A typical day

I will walk the neighborhoods; greenways; dog parks; depending on service provided. I will play fetch or any other games the owners recommend. Will provide one-on-one snuggling.
