Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I structure my days around animal care and home responsibilities, which allows me to be consistently available in the afternoons. I’m used to maintaining reliable routines for multiple animals, so showing up on time and providing calm, attentive care is second nature to me.

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and to the routines they’re already comfortable with. I follow all instructions provided. My goal is always to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and loved by maintaining consistency and providing attentive, compassionate care.

Information Kathleen L. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s energy level, favorite activities, and any quirks or triggers. I also like to know how they do with new people, other animals, and changes in their environment. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep your pet comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.

A typical day

I love making pet care fun and enriching! Depending on the pet, I enjoy playtime with toys, fetch, gentle training games, puzzle feeders, brushing sessions, and lots of cuddles. For dogs, I’m happy to do walks, backyard play, and calm companionship. For cats, I enjoy interactive play, enrichment activities, and creating a relaxed, safe environment. I always follow each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine to make sure they feel happy, stimulated, and loved.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and compassionate pet sitter with extensive hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I’ve personally raised and cared for 13 cats over the years and currently share my home with 12 well-loved cats, so I’m deeply familiar with feline behavior, routines and personalities—from shy and sensitive to bold and playful. I grew up around both dogs and cats, and while I don’t currently have dogs of my own, I spend a lot of time with family and friends’ dogs and genuinely enjoy playing with them, walking them, and giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments, sizes, and energy levels. I have reunited countless lost dogs in my neighborhood with their owners. I’m the lady stopping traffic to help a lost animal. I treat every pet with patience, gentleness, and respect. I understand that pets are family, and I take pride in providing calm, loving, reliable care—always making sure your pet feels safe and seen while you’re away. Your animals will be cared for as if they were my own 🤍🐾

Kathleen was great and took great care of our pups. She followed our instructions and kept us in the loop of the visits and any issues. Thank you!

I’ll be honest, I’m an anxious dog mom. But when Katie (Kathleen) looked after my two senior dogs she treated them like they were her own pets. She is an animal lover through and through. She sent me pictures, snuggled with them, and asked questions if my instructions weren’t clear. She sent me regular updates and gushed about my dogs like she’s known them for years. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a reliable, and caring sitter/walker/drop in visit. She is my first choice for any of my dog’s needs.

Katie has always had a deep, natural connection with animals. Whether caring for her own pets, helping family and friends, or showing compassion to lost or stray animals, she has an instinctive ability to make animals feel safe and understood. As a vegan, Katie truly values the safety, well-being, and dignity of animals above all else, and that commitment shows in every interaction. She is patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in building trusting relationships with the pets she cares for. Any cat or dog in her care is treated with kindness, respect, and love—as if they were her own.
