DROP-IN VISITS My drop-in visits are perfect for working or busy pet parents who need someone to check on their pets. DAY HOUSESITTING ONLY I also do daytime house sitting up to 4 one hour drop-ins for people that may want to take a day trip. I don’t stay overnight but I ensure your pet has all it's needs met every 4 hours from 8 am to 8 pm. I also can come back the next morning to feed and potty break. This has worked for many of my clients. I can customize the plan to your needs during our consultation. DOG WALKING I am now offering 30 minute dog walking. I am a former Canine Companions For independence puppy raiser and also a GoodPup Certified dog trainer who specializes in puppy training from 8 weeks to 1 year, level I to level II. I prefer to work with gentle, non-aggressive dogs who do not nip. 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, Riverside Oaks, Astor Grande at Lake Forest and The Preserve at Lake Monroe.

About Kathleen H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Bringing home a new 8-week-old puppy is exciting and challenging, not just for you but for your pup as well. The first few weeks are a critical period for bonding and settling in to the foundation of rules, love and happiness for you both. But with that comes responsibility of shaping their behavior, teaching them commands with patience. One step at a time builds confidence and love resulting in a well-adjusted dog. I specialize exclusively in GoodPup puppy training for young puppies who have just joined their new families. This can be done either in-person or virtually. Proof of up-to-date vaccinations required.
Information Kathleen H. would like to know about your pet
Important to know. I ask if your dog has ever bitten anyone or were ever bitten, if they are up to date on vaccinations, what is their favorite thing to do and anything that I should be aware of.
A typical day
Drop-in Visits are typically a 30 min to 60 min or 4-8 hr visit day or evening visit only. I no longer provide overnight visit.

Safety & Fun in Every Visit
Pet care experience
I take care of each pet as if they were my own. When I’m with them, I gear my visit to their needs and their pet parents' needs. In addition, I love caring for puppies 8 weeks and older. I love shaping their behaviors, teaching basic commands and socialization. * If you are new to Rover or have a friend who would like to join, use code KATHLH47637 and get $20 off the first booking. I am also a puppy trainer. As a GoodPup Certified trainer, I use only positive reinforcement methods. I am a strong believer that you cannot start early enough to train a puppy. The earlier you start, the quicker that they learn, similar to a gardener training a young plant to grow straight. Please visit my trainer page on Rover for further information.

Kathleen is so wonderful with our cat. We trust her completely and I love the pictures she sends! Thank you!

I always appreciate Kathleen’s care with my cat and my home!

Does such a wonderful job training our puppy for basic commands 1. She is very attentive and caring and makes sure the pet parent understands too. I highly recommend her service.

Such a wonderful individual who cared for our 10 week old puppy with so much love. Highly recommend
