Fenced Yard, I'll walk run & Play

Pet care experience

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, if they choose 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.

You went above and beyond with Zorro 🦊 you updated us with pictures, videos and tracked yours and his mileage for your walk :) it’s every dog parents dream to get that kind of love and dedication to caring for our pup. It’s like we got mini report card :) Kathleen is the ABSOLUTE BEST pup sitter — TIP her extra $$$ ! She’s cares for your pup like it’s her own- Her home is so welcoming, great neighborhood and she has a cute deck and high fenced in yard.

Kathleen was wonderful as always. We enjoyed our friends wedding while Archie enjoyed his overnight visit. He got to hang out with another doggie friend and see his neighbor friends. Kathleen sent lots of pictures and videos that we love. See you again soon!

Kathleen is an awesome communicator (sending a lot of pics and updates while we were away) and has such a beautiful/kind soul. She and our little Beo had plenty of walks and cuddles and we will be using her routinely as our sitter. She is the best!
