I have a full-time job, but I’m working from home most days. Typically Thursdays are office days but I have a great deal of flexibility! That means a lot of walks and play throughout the day.

Pet care experience

Hello there! I’m Kathleen, I am working from home most days and would love to spend time with your cat or dog. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and many stages of life, and health. My own dog just passed away and required a lot of extra help, which I was so happy to be able to give to him.

Watched my cats and dogs and did great. I received lots of updates and photos. Highly recommend, and already planned to use again in the future

Kathleen is truly one of a kind, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. She has cared for my bird, my cat, and my special-needs dog, and every single one of them has received the same incredible level of love, patience, and attention. She has a natural gift with animals of all kinds and always takes the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. What impresses me most is her endless patience. No matter the situation, I’ve never once seen Kathleen become frustrated or lose her calm. She treats every animal with genuine kindness, compassion, and respect. Leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, but with Kathleen, I have complete peace of mind. I know they’re not just being watched—they’re being genuinely cared for as if they were her own. She is dependable, trustworthy, and has a heart of gold. I recommend Kathleen wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an exceptional pet caregiver. Any pet would be lucky to have her, and any pet owner would be lucky to know her. She is simply the best. Better than all the rest!

Kathleen is a great pet sitter! She watched our cats and dog for 12 days. She was attentive and provided updates on how they were doing. We received daily photos and fun updates that gave us total peace of mind. When we came home, our pet was happy, relaxed, and well-fed. Highly recommended and we will definitely book again!
