Highlights
Pet care experience
Tall wags guaranteed!
As a dog sitter, I care for every dog as if they were my own. From playful puppies who need patience and guidance, to easygoing adult dogs who thrive on routine, to sweet seniors who deserve extra gentleness and comfort—I adapt my care to each stage of their life. I pay attention to the little things, like their energy, habits, and moods, so they feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, quiet companionship, or extra support for older dogs, I’m there to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with each dog—and the peace of mind I give their owners. 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Kathleen watched our dog for the evening. She was very kind and our dog appreciated the walk! Would use her again
Kathleen was fantastic - took my pup in last minute for the night and was really great
Austin is loving his walks with Kathleen. He gets so excited when she arrives with her Golden pup and enjoys the interaction with other dogs. Austin has tended to find muddy locations recently and Kathleen took the time to hose him down before he returned home!
Amazing dog walker and sitter. Attentive and compassionate. Very patient and gentle. Couldn't ask for a better fit for out pet. Great availability as she's retired.

Schedule
Since retiring, my daily routine has been shaped by my 18-month-old Golden Retriever. His energy keeps me walking or hiking twice a day, giving my days structure and keeping me active outdoors. I’ve found this routine really fulfilling, and I’d enjoy walking other dogs as well—for the added companionship and more time spent outside.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for pets in my care. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard that allows for secure outdoor playtime and regular exercise. Pets are always supervised while outside to ensure their safety. Inside, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space where animals can relax and feel at ease. I also have crating available for pets who are crate-trained or if owners prefer their pet to have a designated resting space. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to minimize stress. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, exercised appropriately, and given plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
