Berkshires #1 Trusted Pet Sitter ❤️
Pet care experience
I will be your dogs new best friend! I have been pet sitting for 11 years, and surrounded by animals my entire life. I have experience with all different types of dogs - pure breed, mutts, shelter dogs, special needs, elderly, puppies, shy, aggressive and more. Every dog is special even with their quirks. Just like us humans. I will treat your dogs the way I would want someone to treat mine. I am the typical girl who speaks to dogs all day with a high pitched baby voice. I am professional and a good communicator. You will receive written updates and photos of your dogs daily. About My Home: My husband and I have a beautiful home on 9 acres of woods. We live on a private dirt road. It is truly doggy heaven here. 1 acre is fully fenced in and 8 is free to roam. We also have private hiking trails in the area. Our home is clean and dog friendly. Your dogs are free to have use of the whole house and can sleep on the couches. Your dogs will have my fully attention. I can guarantee they will have more fun here than anywhere else! In Your Home: I am responsible and take huge precautions when caring for my clients home, property and pets. I try my best to make your pet sitting experience easy and comfortable. I treat your home the way I would want someone to treat mine. I keep your home as clean as I found it. I love walking and hiking in new neighborhoods. Your dog can show me around!
Reviews
Kathleen was great! She provided great updates and took wonderful care of Betty!
Bruno had a wonderful time at Kathleen's beautiful place! The fully-fenced in green space for the dogs was so peaceful I wanted to stay myself. Kathleen has a calming manner which the dogs respond well too. I am contemplating more trips to the Berkshires now that I know Bruno has a safe place where he will be happy and well taken care of while I spend time at Jacob's Pillow or museums. Thank you!
Kathleen is a great dog sitter. We boarded our Luna with her over the weekend and she kept us updated on her with pictures and videos. She was quick to reply and very sweet. I highly recommend Kathleen ❤️
My dog Daisy loved being at Kathleen’s for the day ! Kathleen has a huge fenced in yard , and 2 nice dogs . Daisy was nervous at first but Kathleen got her settled in , calmed down and took her for some walks around the area . I got regular updates and pictures while daisy was there . I was in western MA just for the day and was very grateful that Kathleen had availability. I highly highly recommend Kathleen . She took wonderful care of my dog and treated her like family !

Information Kathleen M. would like to know about your pet
1. Your pets must have flea and tick protection. 2: Your pets must be 100% potty trained. If your dog tends to mark their territory inside new homes - please do not board them in our home. Our home is clean and we like to keep it that way for us humans and all dogs coming and going.
A typical day
I love taking dogs into the woods for a nice long hike. Hikes range from 30 minutes to 4 hours. I also love a leashed walk around the neighborhood. We will walk or hike in my area or yours. If you have any recommendations, please provide - I'd like your dog to be comfortable wherever he or she is exercising. I have really great spots. Everything from waterfall hikes, to going up a whole mountain. A little bit of everything! If your dog is not so adventurous, we can stick around happily at home.
