Information Kathleen G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any routines, medical needs, allergies, or behaviors that help me care for your pet in the best way possible. This includes things like anxiety triggers, leash habits, crate routines, feeding schedules, or anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable and secure. The more I know upfront, the more I can make their stay feel like home.

A typical day

I love to keep dogs active and engaged with regular walks around the neighborhood and nearby park, and I’m happy to adjust activity based on each dog’s energy and personality. For more active dogs, I can play fetch in the backyard or take them on runs with me if they enjoy that. I’m always happy to follow any specific routines or favorite spots/parks that your dog prefers to go to.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a huge dog lover who understands how hard it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. While I’m relatively new to Rover, I have a ton of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs for both short and extended stays. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible work from home job, which allows me to be available throughout the day for plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I also have a large fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m happy to adapt to their routines, whether that’s walks, playtime, structure, or cuddles. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send lots of photo updates while caring for your dog. Please feel free to reach out with any questions; I look forward to meeting you!

I had a last minute request (day before) for someone to watch my dog for a day because he recently injured his pads on all 4 feet and I needed to go to work but was not comfortable leaving him alone. At the time when Kathleen watched him, he was in a cone and on medication. When we talked beforehand, Kathleen was very kind and thoughtful, asking great questions and anticipating potential needs to make sure he would be safe and comfy in her care. While watching him, he ended up feeling a bit better than he had been in previous days and not as groggy from his medications, so was not as calm as I thought he would be for her, but she still did a great job of making sure he stayed safe and did not re-injure his feet. She provided updates at reasonable intervals without me having to ask and was very kind the entire time, even with me not knowing exactly what time I would be able to pick him up. Thanks so much to Kathleen, I would definitely trust her to watch my boy again.

Kathleen was incredibly caring during my dog’s stay. She was highly responsive, provided consistent photo updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was both professional and friendly, and my dog definitely has a new best friend after all of the walks she got. I travel quite a bit and Kathleen will now be my go to sitter. Highly recommended!!
