Pet care experience
Hello! I worked at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary for 5 years in Utah. I worked in both Dogtown and the Clinic. I am extremely experienced in dog handling, training, walking, and medical care for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I am a true dog lover and dog person trained by the best! I am a proud fire wife of a forest firefighter, and moved to Payson for my husband’s promotion. I am the dog Mom of one large and three small rescue mutts that are the center of the universe. I will take care of your fur baby as though they were mine! Any age or breed is fine with me, but I will ask questions to know about your baby ahead of time!

Kathleen has given me the peace of mind that my baby is being taken care of while I'm away. I'm so thankful for her. She went above and beyond with my hard to warm up to heeler. Her communication each day was a welcome sigh of relief. Tyson and I can't recommend her enough!
We have had Kathleen pet sit our 2 doggies several times. They Love her and we feel so confident that they are being loved and taken care of by her. She gives us great updates and both of our furry kids are always happy and content when we come home. Kathleen is very detailed orientated and has done all that we have asked for. She is a huge blessing for our comfort when away and for Hula and Ruger at home.
Thank you Kathleen. Appreciate you taking care of our babies and for the great update of your visit and pictures. They were very happy when we came home and they look forward to your next visit! Thank You!!
Kathleen is the best!!! My dog loves her!

Information Kathleen H. would like to know about your pet
I like any breed. I would need to know if there is a bite history, food allergies, preferences for people (like if they do not like children), if they are aggressive to other dogs, any previous back or leg injuries or arthritis so as not to over do the exercise, and if they are up to date on vaccines. Please note that during inclement weather, which would be at my discretion, any dog walking or visiting services would be either postponed or cancelled. You would not be charged for them. This could include frigid temperatures, snow, rain, sleet, wind, extreme heat or otherwise. Common sense and understanding will be appreciated and expected. Please note I do not do walks after dark or in the morning before the sun is up. This is to be a safe experience for all. Please note that any car rides or park visits or anything other than around the neighborhood will be at an additional cost, and require additional time. Wear and tear on vehicles and gas is to be factored in. Please note that any medical care required will be at an additional cost, at my discretion. This would be discussed ahead of time. Should circumstances change, or become unreasonable, it is my right as the dog walker to terminate services immediately, should I see fit.
A typical day
If your dog likes to go on car rides or the park or creek, I would love to take them. If they prefer to sit and be petted we can do that too! If they just like a walk around the block to sniff, that’s great too. Whatever is best for that particular dog is fine with me.
