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 two dogs while we were away for just over a week. She met the dogs before we left and I immediately knew she would be a good match. She was very kind and personable. The dogs were well taken care of and healthy and happy when we got home. Such peace of mind while we were away. The check ins and photos were great. I highly recommend her services.
Gus had a great time at Kathleen's. He was well taken care of and we loved getting updates and photos while we were away. We'd definitely book again and would highly recommend. Thank you, Kathleen!
We left Disco with Kathleen and her family for 2 weeks and he came back so happy and well-exercised! She was amazing - keeping me updated with pictures and little stories about their day. It was clear that he got a great deal of love and exercise. He also really loved playing with her other two dogs. I would highly recommend Kathleen and would definitely leave Disco with her again!
Kathleen was awesome and took great care of Gus. She’s great with communication as well. I’ll definitely be using her services again if possible.
Incredible satisfied with choosing Kathleen to watch my dog! For anyone reading this review, I’d highly recommend Kathleen if you’re looking for someone who will take care of your dog as if they were their own!
We had such a great experience! They took amazing care of my 3 year old Golden Retriever, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable the whole time. He got lots of exercise and activity, and he absolutely loved playing with their dogs. It was so reassuring knowing he was in such good hands. They were also incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I will definitely be using them for future care. Highly recommend!

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.
Where your pet will stay
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.
