Ratings and reviews
Kathleen is wonderful! She is so caring and gives each of our three pets the individual attention they need. She had some great tips for some challenges we were having with our dogs after spending the week with them and had no trouble giving our sassy cat medicine. This is the third time she’s stayed at our house to care for them and we are so glad we found her!
Kathleen is wonderful! This is the second time she’s watched our dogs and cat. She is so thoughtful and caring, giving each the individual attention they need. She is really in tune with them and communicates well. I feel really comfortable knowing my pets are well taken care of and loved while we’re away. We have her scheduled again later this summer!
We can’t imagine leaving our pups with anyone but Kathleen! She communicates exceptionally well and her care for the furry members of our family is exceptional!
Such a pleasure having Kathleen take care of our pets and home when we have to be away. Firstly, our pets love her dearly and are so excited when she arrives (that they barely notice us leaving). Secondly, she is dependable to be present and to execute our requests. We have pets with medical needs and some are isolated from others. She always takes such care to give each pet the love, care, and space they each need. We found a gem with Kathleen! 😊
5 stars all the way! I had ALOT of rules since my pup was not fully vaccinated yet and it was the first time leaving him. She accommodated everything. We were able to enjoy our getaway and came home to happy puppy and a very clean home. Thank you once again!
Our dog has so much anxiety and Kathleen was amazing with him! He warmed up to her with her patience and it was a great weekend! She kept us updated and in turn we had a great time away, not worrying at all. She communicates well and quickly, she kept our house clean and in great condition. We would love to have her stay and take care of our dog again. Definitely recommend her to anyone else looking.

Schedule
Overnight stays in your home. I work online and take only one pet-sitting job at a time. I do not have any animals of my own, nor do I intend to acquire any, only because I travel between the west and east sides of the US. I am responsible for locking doors, turning lights on & off properly, and keeping things fresh and clean. I respect other people's time and property. I tend to stay to myself and prefer to be quietly helpful. I am retired and receive Social Security retirement benefits. These jobs help financially… between house and pet sitting for my adult children who live in different states.
