Highlights
Pet care experience
Very friendly and active dog-sitter
Rates are negotiable! I have grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for and spending time with them. I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and finding activities that match their individual needs and energy levels. I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes and breeds and understand the importance of approaching and caring for every animal with patience, awareness, and respect. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in care, companionship, or overnight care in the comfort of their own home, I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I especially love getting dogs out for adventure time! Whether that means a long walk, exploring a hiking trail, visiting new places, or enjoying their favorite activity, I love making our time together fun and engaging. I work full-time and am in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as either Monday or Thursday depending on the week. My availability varies around my work schedule, but I am available for morning and evening care, weekends, and other arrangements depending on timing. I'm always happy to discuss your pet's needs and see if we can find something that works! I do not currently offer boarding or care in my own home, but I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their home.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when their routine is understood and respected. When caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I always prioritize safety, pay attention to each pet's body language and needs, and treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
Ratings and reviews
Kathleen is so lovely! We are new to the area and had to find a dog sitter very quickly, and Kathleen was super responsive and understanding. She and our dog Gingerbread had a great time, and she made sure to pay attention to our directions and Gingerbread's preferences. 10/10 experience and we will definitely be repeat customers!

- Before caring for your pet, I'd love to know about their daily routine, personality, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Please let me know about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, fears, behaviors, or special needs. I also appreciate knowing how they interact with other people and animals so I can provide the safest and most enjoyable care possible.
