Safety, trust & environment

I am only able to offer caring for animals from your home due to my dogs being sensitive to animals they do not know. However I am able to stay at your home for as long as you need or stay at my own home and commute to yours!

Information Kathleen M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special requirements ex. medicine needed at certain times. This way I can plan my schedule to make sure that I am there when the medicine is needed.

A typical day

I offer long walks around your property or neighborhood to your dog during my stay, I can also play in your yard if they are not great on a leash! I have lots of experience with high energy dogs due to both of mine being very high energy. I love to hangout and cuddle with the animals I watch to make sure that they are getting all the attention they deserve while their parents are away!

Pet care experience

I have been dog sitting for around 5 years now from the ages of 6 months to 12 years old. I have watched dogs with health issues and require medicine and the simple ones that require no extra help. I can confidently administer oral medication but I do not administer any shots. I own 2 dogs currently and have previously volunteered at an animal shelter where I worked with the dogs and one of my dogs I adopted from this shelter.

Kathleen always takes great care of my pup and communicates throughout the time that she is booked for. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter

Kathleen, Is a wonderful sitter very attentive and knows our Rebels needs as a matter of fact today she brought up a issue we already knew about which is he gets hot quickly n the warm months playing outside. Kathleen was concerned enough to let us know and due to this I will put this informationt in Rebels Profile as it should be there, Thank You Kathleen.

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.
