Information Kathleen M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know their routine, any allergies, medical conditions, fears, and how they interact with other pets. I also ask about feeding schedules, favorite toys, and commands they know.

A typical day

I keep pets active and happy with daily walks, interactive play, and lots of affection. Whether it’s chasing toys, exploring new routes, or relaxing together, I make sure they’re mentally and physically stimulated. Every pet has different needs, and I love adjusting activities to match their personality and energy level.

Pet care experience

I’ve had animal training internships including one at UPenn. I worked with law enforcement and detection K9s ranging from puppies to professional dogs in their chosen field. I’ve volunteered at an animal rescue since I was 7 years old. I worked with animals from all different backgrounds and disciplines ranging all the way from dogs to horses.

Kathleen was absolutely fantastic! We had a short notice need for a dog sitter to spend 2 days with our very nervous dog and she jumped right in and helped us out big time! She was so wonderful with our dog and was able to keep her relaxed while we were gone!!

Kathleen was the best caretaker for my dogs. She was on top of picture updates and ensuring I was informed about my babies. My dogs love her and look forward to seeing her! She’s professional, on time, and compassionate. I can’t recommend her enough!!

I wholeheartedly recommend Kathleen as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has a natural connection with animals, treats every pet like family, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Whether it’s daily care, exercise, or just providing comfort, Kathleen is someone you can trust completely with your furry loved ones.

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.
