Kathleen can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old

Availability

I work remotely and can work from virtually anywhere. I have my own business and make my own hours. Pet sitting is a great compliment to my remote work and my schedule. I do not currently have any Pets of my own, and have much flexibility. This allows me to be very adaptable and adjust my schedule to look after your fur babies and keep a well supervised eye on them.

Information Kathleen O. would like to know about your pet

Please be sure to let me know if your fur baby has any special needs; and how to best care for them as an individual pet that they are. I have handled dogs of all sizes, as long as they are trained and well behaved. I prefer dogs that are not hyper-active, or overly agressive. Although, I have decades of experience though and can handle most dogs very effectively.

A typical day

In caring for my own pet for 14 years, I discovered some interetsing things about small dogs. For instance, Coco liked certain toys, I had to get him cat size balls- just his size, and he had certain toys he never tired of. I would throw them for him - or Sometimes he just wanted to entertain himself and he would push the ball around with his nose. He went out frequently for potty breaks, and long walks, liked to take different routes. He loved to ride in the car, and I had an amazing car seat for him to ride safely with his harness buckled in- to the secured car seat. I took him traveling to as far as Georgia. He loved adventures and seeing new places, ever a few trips to the beach. And with the dogs I have been hired to care for I kept them engaged likewise- with toys, small portions of very health treats to build trust and to reward them. Wonderful walks. Supervised time in the fenced in yards. And I will send pet parents pics & video's to give them routine updates.

Kathleen took care of my Pomeranian, Bentley, and my cat, Gracie! She was wonderful! I received several updates and photos each day, and my pets seemed to be very well cared for!
