I am retired but do part-time graphic design from home. I enjoying staying at home, and love playing with dogs or just letting they nest and get cozy. I walk outdoors, usually about 3-4miles a day, and would love to have your pup along for any/all of that! I love to take photos so expect many updates. Pick up and drop off to your door available, no problem.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a dog friendly apartment complex, so lots of great sniffs! There are plenty of sidewalks, ponds and walking trails (and 3 dog parks within 10 minute walk if you and your put agree on that). Also, if your dog doesn't care for meeting new dogs while on walks, there are several sidewalks and foot paths to make a quick turn to cater to your dog's energy and preferences. First floor so no stairs for senior/special needs dogs. Big windows with cozy beds to lay on and watch outside :-) I live with my active 80 year mom so lots of attention and belly rubs to go around. Also I love housesitting so that is a great option if your pup prefers to stay in their own space. I'm an excellent communicator, very respectful and clean. No smoking, drugs, or alcohol. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
Home
Information Kathleen M. would like to know about your pet
Any special needs or attention needed, meal times, your preferences for treats. Any meds to administer. Preferences for walks (alone or with another dog). Any special toys, games or favorite scratch spots!
A typical day
Our days are catered to your pup, we can do long walks, or short ones. Tons of time to play. Jedda, my mini Aussie is around for pack walks if your pup likes that, or she is also content to have some alone time. We can do shorter walks more frequently as well. Treat time and toy time for sure, and definitely unlimited belly rubs. Pups are allow on the couch and beds for naps, or feel free to bring along bedding.

Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Kathleen. I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15+ years of experience dog sitting, walking, and caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and needs. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, daycare, overnight boarding, house sitting, and even bathing and basic grooming (like nail trims and brush-outs). Pick-up and drop-off available anywhere in New Albany and Westerville. I'm work part-time from home, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I walk about 4 miles daily, and your dog is welcome to join me for part or all of those walks. I’m within walking distance of three dog parks (if you permit), and close to amazing walking trails like Taylor Farm Park & Nature Reserve, Bevelhymer Park, Blendon Woods, and Rocky Fork — perfect for fresh air, exploration, and lots of tail wags. I grew up helping my parents care for their Westie puppies — they were home breeders and it was my daily chore (and joy!). Since then, I’ve rescued and fostered dogs, including those with special needs (low/no vision, senior, anxiety, picky eaters, etc.) I’m experienced with special diets, medications, senior dogs, and those needing extra care and patience. Whether your pet is active or mellow, young or aging, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. And of course — unlimited belly rubs included. Your dog will be treated like part of the family while you're away. Reach out — I’d love to get to know you and your pup! PS I have a cat allergy so I don’t do pet care for cats. Thx! 🐾🐾🐾
