Dog walking: Your pet enjoys an exciting 30-minute or 60-minute walk, enjoying the sights and smells of the neighborhood. If communicated and agreed upon beforehand in a clear and timely manner, I’ll happily incorporate custom experiences into my visit. (favorite and familiar routes or any toys that they'd like to take with them, etc.) I'd also be happy to feed your pup if requested and ensure that they have access to fresh water. Drop-in service: I will ensure that your friend has fresh water that they enjoy as much play as they would like from me, and the comfort of companionship. I am flexible and will happily incorporate custom experiences such as feedings, administering oral medications during my visit if instructions are communicated clearly and agreed upon beforehand in a timely fashion.

Information Kathleen M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet has any dietary restrictions, favorite activities/treats/toys. I also need to know if they have any repeat behaviors or health concerns that I should look out for their safety or for my own. I love to know any fun facts you'd like to share with me about your pet’s personality! I just want them to have the best time.

A typical day

For my own safety I don’t engage in any rough play such as tug-of-war that evokes aggressive behaviors, but I’m an active person and happily walk and jog with dogs and love to play fetch and other favorite games. It makes dogs so happy to investigate the exciting smells of the great outdoors, and their joy is contagious. I will play with cats as much as they would like to and I love to learn all about what their routines and play styles are like and what makes them special.

Pet care experience

Happy to meet you! My name is Kat and I have a lifetime of experience caring for kittens and puppies as well as senior dogs and cats and every age in-between! I understand from experience how important and deserving these critters are of joy and care. I am a patient and friendly caretaker and will do everything I can to minimize stress or disruption to an animal's daily routine, letting their behavior guide interactions and play. Trust me with your animals and they will come away from the interaction feeling cared for, well exercised and refreshed. I’m also familiar with administering oral medications to both cats and dogs and I have no problem administering that care.

What a great job Kat did with my kitty. Very thoughtful communication before and during the visits. The play, the snuggles and the above beyond things were amazing. My cat became very comfortable with her fairly quickly. I will book her again if I need a cat sitter and recommend her unreservedly.

Kathleen is amazing! We had an issue with our cats while we were out on a day trip and she was able to last minute go and check on them. She’s very thoughtful, cares for the cats, and proactive!

Kat was super helpful even though my request was super last minute. Took great care of my guy and left great notes and pics.
