Loving family ready to spoil!

Thank you for checking out my profile. I have been dog sitting family, friends and neighbors pets for a few years now and thought why not offer our home to others. I lost our Saint Bernard 6 years ago and just not ready to commit to having our own yet. I have a big fenced in yard. Breeds we have had in our home; Saint Bernard, Golden Retriever, Doodles, Basset Hound, Pointer, French bull dog and mixed breeds. I grew up with dogs my entire life. Everyone in my family has dogs. I want your pup to feel just as comfortable in my home as they do yours. I treat every dog I watch as if it’s my own. If owner allows in their home their pets on furniture and sleeping in my bed then I welcome that! I always check if extra treats like pup cups are ok to have. Full transparency, I do work a full time job so weekdays your pet will be home alone normal work hours. I understand that does not work for everyone. Our current pets we watch live in a home where owners work full time so they do just fine lounging on the couch or barking at amazon delivery people. I have camera in the home I use to check in on them throughout the day.

Excellent! She took great care of my little boy. No hesitation I would use her again if in the area. Good communication and accommodating.

Would give 6 stars if I could! Roland had the best time—I felt so comfortable with the great communication and updates. Honestly, he didn’t want to leave and is already planning his return.

Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.

Kathleen kept me updated on my fur babies. She took such great care of my dogs and made sure they were both comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and check-ins—it gave me so much peace of mind while being out of state. It’s clear she truly care about the dogs she watches. I would 100% trust Kathleen again and highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter!

Schedule

I work a full time schedule (Monday-Friday leave from the house 7:15am to 4:45). Home weekends. So I only take pets who are used to that schedule with their current owners. Evening walks and free to be in the yard as often as they like.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard, 2 kids and myself that will give lots of love and attention. If the client prefers crated times I will follow that. Otherwise pets are allowed on my furniture and even allowed to sleep in my bed. If extra treats are allowed I keep pup cups in the freezer and always have dog treats.

A typical day

First thing in the morning they get to explore the yard. Once they have eaten we will go for a morning walk. Kids will usually have some playtime with the dogs before heading to school. Lots of kisses and a treat (if allowed) before I head to work. Evenings we will go for a walk around the school pond and campus. Lots of good sniffs! Kids and I playing and lots of snuggles all night until it’s time for them to get treated like a human and tucked in bed.
