Pet care experience

Friendly Neighborhood Dog Person

I have been a life long dog lover. I grew up on a ranch with many animals which is where my love if animals started. I have always been the go-to person for friends and families who need help dog sitting while they are away. I have experience and background clearance through Riverside County Sheriffs Animal Services as a volunteer and dog foster. When your pet is in my care, they will be treated as my own with love and structure.

Kathleen was so kind to my nervous little girl. By the end of the stay Scout wanted to stay on her couch instead of coming home with me. She gave great updates and really made me feel like Scout was seen and loved for the special pup she is!! Penny also deserves 5 stars for being a great pup host!!

Kathleen and Penny are always so welcomingwhen we arrive. My fur baby Lexi is happy and well taken care of when she stays. If Lexi went need boarding Kathleen will always be our first option.

Kat was absolutely amazing. My schedule was all over the place and she was more than willing to accommodate me. She frequently updated me with photos and my Benjamin felt right at home.

Kathleen watched over our dogs and I know they had a great time because they pouted on the ride home!! She was great at sending updates and pictures on how they were getting along and settling in. She’s definitely someone we will look for in the future and can 100% recommend to others!

Schedule

I am a full time teleworker. I am home with my own dog daily. I am able to tend to the dog’s needs anytime and regularly take short lunch walks to manage energy.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and multiple kennels in the home, if needed. I prefer to have dogs that can be comfortable in the space without being in a kennel, but it is available if the pup prefers a kennel. If I am caring for the pet in another home, regular check-ins in a scheduled basis.

I like to keep dogs entertained both physically and mentally. We will go on regular walks, possible short runs, and I have enrichment activities such as treat puzzles and fetch.
