Safety, trust & environment

I can crate one dog as needed, but pets are allowed on furniture in my home if well trained. I walk at least 5 times a day, and have a bell for dogs trained to ring when they need to go outside. I have a lovely fenced patio for dogs to play in or just relax in the sun.

Information Kathleen L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs your dog may have ahead of time. I am typically able to accommodate special needs but it does depend on what they are.

A typical day

I have snuffle mats and various treat/food games that my dog loves. I have space to play fetch and am near the beach and nice areas to walk for fresh smells.

Pet care experience

My sweet female golden, Kona, is patient with other dogs and has helped fosters learn to relax at home. We trained her from a puppy and would love to help care for your dog. We’ve sat for tiny, shaking chihuahuas who have warmed up enough to Kona to even cuddle her.

I’m so grateful to find the sitter. She is wonderful, my dog was very happy spending two days with her and her dog and I felt very well taken care of and bowie seemed extremely happy. Excellent communication. Super responsible. I felt very comfortable leaving my most precious thing in life with this wonderful Dog Sitter.

Kathleen was amazing! She treated my Benny just like her own and was super flexible with timing. Made it effortless for me and I will be using her again!
