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.

Information Kathleen M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is reactive at all to people or other dogs, if they resource guard, if they have any history of aggression, favorite toys, please provide preferred food to feed your pet during their stay. Any medical needs such as allergies, medications or special care they require.

A typical day

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.

Pet care experience

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 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.

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.
