Pet care experience

Fenced Yard, I'll walk run & Play

I have been retired since 2016 and now enjoy my time caring for my grandchildren and for my client's pets - a dream come true. I love walking dogs because I love the outdoors and exercise - and so do dogs! My 20 year old black Cocker Spaniel passed June 28, 2021. Lady is greatly missed by me and the visiting dogs. She was friendly, tolerant and provided a calmness. I provide your pet with a home away from home. Pets are allowed on the furniture and my bed, Will get with plenty of attention, many visits to the fenced in yard through out the day and a couple walks a day, weather permitting. Pets give so much joy and companionship I feel they deserve to have some joy in return. Dogs love the outdoors and the bad weather doesn't seem to bother them. I am a widow and have 2 loving grown children, who also have dogs - 2 adorable grand-pups, Gracie and Lexi. Also, I have 3 wonderful grandsons and 1 Granddaughter. I have experience walking and pet sitting dogs for neighbors, family and friends, and have acquired many clients the last few years. I have experience as a paid pet walker for various breeds of dogs on the WAG app and walked over 100 dogs on the WAG app. I am reliable, dependable, and trust worthy, and enjoy being of service to others. Rover does a wonderful service of connecting Pet Owners with Pet Walkers/Sitters to do the most good.

Kathleen is amazing! She took such good care of my little one, got in so much play time and walking outside! And getting to socialize with the other dogs was so good too! I wouldn’t hesitate to bring my pups here ever. She’s such a dog lover, so know that they are in great hands if you guys book with Kathleen 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding I will give affection to visiting dogs who like to cuddle. Pets are permitted on the couch and on my bed. We have playtime in my fenced in yard. We usually take two walks per day, morning and evening - weather permitting. For drop in and walks I will do what is required, walk, feed them, play with them, bring in mail or packages, water plants. When requesting boarding - it is important that your dog is friendly and gets along with other dogs - so all can remain safe in my care.

A typical day

A couple walks a day around the neighborhood, weather permitting. Play in the yard, and send pictures and videos through out the day. Visiting dogs can sleep in bed with me and can snuggle on the couch or chair. Play fetch when your pet in the mood.
