Always attentive and loving

Pet care experience

My love for dogs started when I was born when my family introduced me to our family dogs - a Chow Chow and Brittany Spaniel. Since then, my family has had four different family dogs and we've loved each of them equally. When I was a senior in high school, I regularly volunteered at our local animal shelter which involved walking, feeding, and training many different breeds of dogs as well as cleaning out their cages. In college, when I was missing my own family dogs, I would watch my friends and professors dogs when they were out of town and since moving to Washington, D.C., I have kept this up by joining Rover and watching dogs all across the city. You will love having me watch your pup as I am known for my attentiveness, ample amounts of love and patience, and care for the dogs I watch as if they were my own. I give daily updates on how your pet is doing when you are away and do whatever I can to ensure both you and your dog are comfortable with me being in your space. Honesty and integrity are two of my core values and I apply this to all aspects of my life - including dog walking and watching! And my fellow cat lovers, don't worry, I'm here for you, too. Cat or dog, you can count on me to make sure you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your furry friend!

Kathleen watched my dog, Taffy, a few weeks ago -- and she'll be watching her again in a few weeks! She was super-responsive, easy to contact, and great to work with (around both of our schedules). She sent pictures of my pup during her stay and provided updates, which I really appreciated. 10/10, will book again1

Kathleen has owned dogs her entire life, and she cares for them dearly. On top of that she has volunteered at our local animal shelter walking dogs. She is a very poised and professional woman who would be an amazing dog walker.

Information Kathleen K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what the breed is, size is, any prior issues with children and/or people, if they are friendly towards other dogs, if they tend to pull on the leash, and any quirks about them.

A typical day

If the owner has a preference for route or particular park, I make sure that's where we go. Otherwise, I will look up to see what green spaces are around for the dog to explore and sniff around. If the dog is friendly to other dogs, I love taking them to the local dog park. And of course, whatever their favorite toy is, I make sure to spend time each day playing with them and their toy!
