NE Seattle animal lover

Pet care experience

I am life long animal lover. For my career, I am a devoted wildlife biologist with a specialty in animal behavior and physiology and I work from home. On the pet care front, I began caring for pets (other than my own) including working at kennels and in vet offices in my twenties. I would love to care for your cat or dog and give him/her loving attention. Ample experience in special needs, meds. Dogs do great here with attention all the time, a dog door, fenced yard, walks to Meadowbrook pond and play time at JAMs field across the street. Cats do wonderfully too -many cozy spots available in our house; if shy, no problem because the whole downstairs can be for your cat if need be. I will treat your pet as a honorary temporary family member here and I strive to listen well to the needs/preferences/routines you express for your pet and with my very flexible schedule I look forward to meeting them.

Kathleen took great care or our senior schnauzer. Griffin was definitely comfortable and taken care of. Communication was always easy with her and we really appreciated the updates with photos. We'll book again when Griffin needs a safe place to stay.

This was my first time using Rover and Kathleen was great with my dog! She gave me regular updates while I was away and obviously had experience working with elderly dogs like mine. She also has a nice setup at her home, which has a nice backyard. I missed my dog while I was away, but at least felt like he was in good hands. Really lucky to have found her.

Kathleen and her son were fantastic! I appreciated her updates and photos, and my dog Bear came home happy and tired. I highly recommend her. Thank you!

Information Kathleen G. would like to know about your pet

Happy to help administer meds and other care. I worked as a vet assistant prior to grad school. The house is always cool downstairs so that’s a plus in the summer.

A typical day

With dogs we can walk around the nearby schools, play fetch in the large field and also walk to beaver pond. We can play chase in the yard. Dogs have yard access all day long. With cats we tend to be lazy & loaf around together.
