Love & cuddles for one special dog!

Pet care experience

I'd love to care for your pet! I have had dogs all my life and currently do not. At this time in my life, I can't have a great dog of my own so I would love to take care of yours in my home. I love older dogs that may have medical needs and special care. My last dog was a Schnoodle, and I was so fortunate to have had her for 16.5 years. I've had a Shepard mix, an Akita/Irish setter mix, a Kuvasz, and mutts! All dogs are good dogs. Some are a little more curious than others, and some are picky eaters. I'm anxious to meet your great dogs and get to know them. I prefer dogs who can be left alone for periods. Thank you for considering me! I'll be having shoulder surgery in June, so I will be taking a few months off.

Sparky LOVED his time with Kathy. He got 100% 1:1 attention, snuggling, exercise and multiple walks every day. I can't recommend Kathy highly enough!

Kathy was fantastic! She was so easy to communicate with and is so very kind. It’s easy to tell how much she loves dogs! She sent us pictures and short notes letting us know how Bailey was doing. It was so comforting to us knowing that Bailey was in such good hands.

Kathy was wonderful. Our dog was so loved and cared for when we were away. We suffered a loss while on our vacation and Kathy didn't even hesitate to offer to extend her services, if we needed. She is so nice and you can trust her.

Kathleen is an amazing dog sitter! I wish she lived in California!! I would 1000% book her again. She is so sweet and clearly experienced with all kinds of dogs. We were visiting family in Boston and ended up booking her last minute after our original sitter canceled on us the day after we arrived. Peanut LOVED Kathleen. I’ve never seen her feel so immediately comfortable and at home with a sitter. Kathleen was very communicative and made me feel so much less anxious about leaving Peanut with someone new. She sent videos of Peanut discovering all of the toys she has for dog guests. She takes dogs for walks immediately after they are dropped off to help distract them from the anxiety of being left by their owners. I was really impressed by her experience and professionalism. She was also very communicative after we picked her up as we left Peanut’s anti-anxiety stuffed dog at her home. She mailed it to us and was prompt about communication. Peanut loved her! If she lived in California she would be my go to sitter. I can’t recommend Kathleen highly enough!! Hopefully someday we’ll have an excuse to go back to Rockport so Peanut can meet her again!

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are allowed on furniture and I love to cuddle them on my big chair. They are allowed to sleep on my bed if you allow. I love to walk so take my borders on 3-4 walks a day. I keep a lot of toys around to entertain them.

Information Kathleen M. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know the size and temperament of your dog. Smaller dogs, 40 or under is best for me. I'm afraid I can't accept a pup that is not potty trained, and not neutered or spade.

A typical day

I live near the beach so walks will be by the ocean. Also near a farm and a walk down that lane offers many wonderful smells for your pooch.
