Kind Hearted Dog & Puppy Lover

Pet care experience

I am a trusted pet sitter with Rover. Dogs and puppies are my love language. I ❤️ everything about them. From puppies and up. Each pet has a unique personality and I enjoy discovering it. Dogs ask for very little; just food, love and companionship. Pets fill our ❤️, they ask for nothing, trust us completely for their care and bring us so much joy. I have years of experience with both dogs and puppies. I have had rescue dogs, poodles, mixed breeds, golden retrievers, labs and now, mini goldendoodles. I have cared for dogs from 8 weeks - 17 years old. I care for each pet as if they were my own. In addition, I love caring for puppies 8 weeks and older. I love shaping their behaviors, teaching basic commands and socialization. I am an experienced puppy raiser and dog trainer. I was a volunteer puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) for 3 years and I currently have two mini Goldendoodle puppies that have earned their AKC Star Puppy and Canine Good Citizen certificates. They have been a joy to raise and train. My services include Drop-In-Visits and Dog Walking, as well as *House Sitting. If you choose me to provide care for your dog or puppy, I promise you I will give them 100% of my time and attention.

I recently hired Kathleen to take care of my dog, Nala, while I was away for the weekend and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. She was extremely professional, reliable, and caring. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages. It was clear she treated Nala as if she were her own. I highly recommend to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my #1 priority. For new clients, it is important we set up a meet and greet in your pets home environment so your pet can get acquainted with me and you can ask any questions that you may have.

Information Kathleen H. would like to know about your pet

We would review your pet profile together. I would ask some additional questions to get to know your pet's preferences and any needs that you may have. We will also go over the veterinary information, review a copy of your pet's vaccination record, discuss your dog's background and emergency contacts.

A typical day

Drop-in Visits: I will stop by your home to check on your pets, take care of their basic needs, feed and play with your pet as well as a potty break in your yard for your dog. This is a 30 minute visit. For multiple pets, I would recommend an hour visit. **Thinking about getting a puppy? I offer special drop-in visits geared to the needs of puppies. i can help with crate and potty training as well as teaching socialization and basic commands. Senior dog? I can provide companionship, love and extra attention.

I am a full time pet sitter, 7 days a week. I offer my clients Drop-in visits Monday through Sunday. This allows me to provide many types of services for working couples, family outings and getaways. If you are thinking of bringing a puppy into your home, my Drop-in visits would be ideal to help you with their care, potty training and basic puppy commands. I try to take jobs closer to my home so I can be available. Just to note, Communication and reliability are very important to me. You can ALWAYS text me when I am watching your pet. If your pet is recuperating from a surgery, I can stay with your pet for the day when they are recovering and while you are working or running errands. If you are an existing client, I can provide local pet transportation in my area, to and from pet grooming and vet appointments for a minimal fee. On any drop in visit, as an add-on service, I can bathe and brush your dog when I am in your home. I am close to the Heathrow, Lake Mary, Alaqua Lakes, The Preserve at Astor Farms, Lake Forest, Sylvan Lake, Markham Woods, Magnolia Plantation, Gateway at Riverwalk, Enclave At Tuscany and The Preserve at Lake Monroe. My philosophy in life is to always follow your heart and "Love what you do & do what you love" ❤️
