Pet care experience

Compassionate animal lover!

I have been around dogs since I was 3. Starting with my childhood dog, a black lab. She grew my love for animals and from there, I started riding horses. I now have professional experience from working at the SPCA with shelter dogs and cats (training, feeding, cleaning, administrating medication) as well as working at 2 doggy daycares. I also have a 2 year old rat terrier x that is a rescue from Texas. I have done most of his training.

Safety, trust & environment

I am always checking in with the animals to make sure they are happy and comfortable. I’m very cautious entering/exiting homes as some can be slippery!

Kathleen spent a weekend with our English bulldog Frankie. Frank is not an easy dog. He’s a rescue and has some trauma. He can be aggressive if he doesn’t feel safe. Good news is Kathleen has a lot of experience in these situations. She is great with Frank and he loved her. When we returned home the house was in tip top shape. We would not hesitate to recommend her and have her booked already for our next trip. Thank you Kathleen!

Kathleen goes above and beyond. She altered us to problems immediately and solved them for us. She left everything perfectly and sent cute pictures every day. Our two cats were fine with her checking in on them!

Just the absolute best! It’s so reassuring knowing that our boy is being so well taken care and looked after while we’re away, 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Kathleen was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of my kitty. She followed instructions. I felt like my cat was very well taken care of.

Kathleen was fantastic with our cat Yuki. It’s been a few years since we were away from her for a period of time, but Kathleen made it easier and gave us peace of mind. Great communication, provided lots of updates and photos, and was accommodating to changes in our schedule. Highly recommend Kathleen and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. Thank you!
