Information Kathleen L. would like to know about your pet

I just like to know your friend's normal routine so I can keep them as safe and happy as possible. I would want to know allergies and your veterinary info. It also helps to know what their bedtime routine is.

A typical day

I like to do whatever makes the animals happiest. I enjoy long walks, but am also happy to play ball for as long as necessary, or just snuggle.

Mama Bear for your Furry Friends

Pet care experience

I've been a pet owner my whole life. We've had big and small dogs, cats, a chinchilla, and a couple lizards. My son is a veterinarian and my daughter is in vet school. We travel often and know how hard it is to leave our Furry Frens and find someone we can trust, and go away feeling comfortable that they are in good hands. My children have been doing Rover visits for the past 10 years. We've had numerous visitors in our house and I've seen the desperate needs people have for their beloved companions. We truly enjoy them all. Safety and health are always a priority. Happiness is a close second.

Kathleen took wonderful care of our 12 year old yellow lab for almost a week. Highly recommend. Daily pictures and updates.

Kathleen was great with my dog, Boone! Very reliable, on time, and communicative! I had no worries about Boone being in her care. Will definitely be using her again! Thanks!

Kathleen was wonderful and my animals loved her. I got great updates during her stay, she followed instructions, and kept the house very tidy. My furbabies are somewhat new to me and they are just learning the life of pet sitters and house guests. I could tell they both were very comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
