Information Kathleen L. would like to know about your pet

You can advise me of any special needs or requests for your pet as well as diet, treats etc. I prefer handling smaller dogs as I can easily pick them up.

A typical day

With your permission there is a dog park near my home. Or if you prefer your fur baby will stay in my home to be cared for by your direction or simply curled up on the couch with me watching Bluey. My ranch is open floor plan and is "babyproofed" from having owned my previous dogs.

Hi, I'm writing you to day that I've known kathy for many years, and she always had dogs and took very good care of them. She would walk them 3 times a day no matter what the weather, feed them healthy food, took them to the vet and groomers on a regular. I know how much she loves dogs, and would so much love to have this job and take care of them. Lenny Lelinko

I highly recommend Kathy L for any dog-sitting position. Kathy is exceptionally attentive, reliable, and has a natural comfort with animals that puts dogs at ease right away. She takes her responsibilities seriously—following routines, paying attention to details, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. Kathy is someone you can trust completely with your pet. Her kindness, patience, and steady presence make her an ideal dog sitter, and anyone who chooses her will have total peace of mind knowing their dog is in caring hands.
