Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not have any pets in my apartment, so if your furry friend enjoys one-on-one attention, they’ll have plenty of it for overnight stays!

Information Kathleen M. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your dog’s daily routine, any medical needs, triggers or fears, and how they get along with other dogs and people. Please share any quirks, favorite activities, or special care instructions so I can make sure they feel comfortable and happy.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs happy and engaged with plenty of walks around the neighborhood, playtime like fetch or tug-of-war, and relaxing cuddle sessions. I also enjoy offering enrichment activities such as treat puzzles or practicing simple commands. Whether your pup loves exploring outside or prefers cozy snuggles, I’ll tailor our time together to match their personality and needs so they feel safe, loved, and entertained.

Pets

Your dog’s new best friend!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly adore them! For over 5 years, I’ve cared for neighbors’, family friends’, and coworkers’ dogs—walking, playing, and loving them like my own. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, midday walk , or overnight care, I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pup like family. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.
