Highlights
Pet care experience
The Fairy Dog Mother
My home is a calm, attentive environment where your dog gets genuine one-on-one care — not a revolving door of pets. I come from a lifelong background with animals, hold a full-time professional position, and take on pet sitting purely for the love of it. Your dog will never feel like a side hustle.
Cat care experience
Kathleen also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kathleen is a fun, loving, dependable person. She loves all animals and they love her back. I have trusted her to care for my pets. I also personally know several people for whom she has taken full charge in the care of their pets. She does indeed provide a safe, watchful environment for the fur babies in her care.
Kathleen has watched our dog Maven several times, and every single visit has left us completely at ease. She has followed our routines and treats our dog as her own, which is honestly the best thing you can say about a pet sitter. We get updates and photos, and she's responsive and easy to communicate with from start to finish. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and makes the whole experience stress-free for the owner too, Kathleen is your person. Maven approved!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My Home: Currently, I live in Eastport area about equal distance from Quiet Waters Park and Downtown. I have amazing dog park and walking available. I have a fenced in yard all the way around. My Mom's dog only weighs ten pounds and he has escaped through my gate. We have to talk about that depending on the size of your dog. I am working on a fix for my Mom's dog because he loves to find escape roots to chase squirrels! 😎 My furniture and my home are 1000 percent pet friendly. I allow all my dog guests up so you have to let me know if that is an issue. I currently have dog bowls for food and water ready to go for my dog guests and ofcourse wash in between. I also have two dog beds that I wash in between visits. I also have a few dog toys I let everyone play with so just let me know if there are any issues or special requests with that. I have an extra leash available and always keep doggy poopie bags available. I do have dry dog food and treats on hand but it is always best if your dog sticks to their diet and I need you to provide that. Wellness Complete Health Adult Wholesome Grains Natural Chicken & Oatmeal Dry Dog Food, 5-lb bag, And Stella & Chewy's Chicken Hearts Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Treats, 11.5-oz bag is what I keep on hand. Those are my best dog friend"s favorites so I keep them always. I guess what I am saying is, you can literally just drop off and I am all set if needed! Your Home: For drop in I just need all the details from you surrounding that. I am okay boarding cats too but I just need to build up my cat pantry and I think disposalable litter pans are the way to go for a short weekend. Although if your cat has litter specific requirements you just need to let me know. Also, if I am cat sitting at my home, they would not be allowed outside, no run aways on my watch!!! I feel like cats are a drop in situation because they are always more comfortable in their space. But I am open to boarding them too! Owners know their pets best and what will work for them. Just let me know. Always, just ask about any pet situation. I am open to all pets and being a Navy veteran makes me very trainable! 🐾⚓️
A typical day
I am the only one that will be caring for my pet guests. We will explore the park, my neighborhood absolutely smelling it all!. We will hangout at my place and chill out after we get tired from exercise. Depending on your dog and your permission we can go to the dog park to play with other dogs in the woods at quite waters and the dog beach. Lots of love and attention will be given!
