Highlights
Pet care experience
I have 2 cats and love dogs
I grew up with labs and retrievers but now live alone with my 2 cats (who are pretty much used to dogs, but still wary of them). I watch peoples dogs and foster with Saving Grace when I can so have experience with a wide range of dogs.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kathleen is amazing! She gave us great updates every visit and our cat really seemed to love her.
She did an amazing job, very communicative and super easy to work with
She was very flexible with us when our flight got delayed and was very responsive. Sent lots of pictures and kept me updated the whole time.
Katie was amazing!!! Took such good care of my sweet but anxious little Sophie. Sent me updates and photos everyday and I felt like I had left my girl in really safe hands. I would absolutely work with Katie again!
Great pictures and updates the whole time. Super easy handoffs. Katie was awesome!
Kathleen was mostly highly communicative for the stay, and was flexible when we had a scheduling miscommunication, which I greatly appreciated. When we went to pick up she was hard to get a hold of and we waited a while, and My dog’s fur smelled badly when he came back from her cats, but a bath fixed it. We were also clear about not boarding him with other dogs, and she had an overlap with another dog that was not agreed.

Schedule
I am an engineer but am taking time off from that job, at the moment I am a full time bartender so work late nights. One favorite thing to do with a dog I watch is taking them to my building’s fenced in dog park and playing fetch!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Pets are allowed on the furniture (also if normal) and since I have pets already, I have extra water around the apartment. Since I’m used to hosting dogs, I’m good at “dog proofing” the apartment and can separate the cats and the visiting pet if needed. I choose how to take out any dog based on their personality: dog park at my apartment building, walks, local dog park, hikes, etc. I also have plenty of dog toys if you want to limit what you pack up for their stay.
Pets
A typical day
I tailor what I do to what is best for the dog, either playing inside, going on a walk, going to the dog park, etc.

- Bathroom and sleeping habits as well as how much “dog proofing” is necessary (ie, if they counter surf or chew shoes). Also friendliness with other dogs.
