Lots of love and activities!
Pet care experience
As a self-professed obsessive dog (and cat) Mom, I can assure you that your pups will be well cared for. I love walking dogs, and trained our two to walk nice on the leash on my own. If you’d like your dog(s) walked, we are less than a half mile from the Riverview park in Mesa, with the trail along the Salt River and canal nearby. If your pup loves swimming, we have a pool. If not, that’s ok too as there is a gate separating the pool from our patio and backyard. If cuddling on the couch is the style, I can handle that too! We moved to Arizona from Wisconsin this past summer (2018), so I’d love to get to know other dog parents too! Our pups are socialized and love other dogs! (Our cat typically antisocial!) I am a teacher and my boyfriend does corporate real estate. My experience as a teacher makes me as patient as it can get. My type A personality allows me to navigate many details and situations, while my boyfriend's easy going style balances everything out! :) Additionally, our house has a doggie door and we the Furbo pet camera + app, so even if we have to run out quickly, we are still able to see, hear, and communicate with the pets at home. I am familiar with purely positive training, and currently use balanced training methods with our dogs. If you need help with training, I'd be happy to work with your dog(s) while they stay or I visit them! If you're looking for a dog walker or someone to check in on your dogs, cats, hamsters, plants, the mail, etc... I'd love to help you with that!
Reviews
Kathleen is the best! She and her pups are great about taking my dog on a regular walk and keeping him playful and socialized. She sends regular picture and video updates which show me how much fun he’s having! We will definitely be booking again!
Kathleen is a great dog sitter. My dog, 1 year old husky named Laika, loves playing with her two dogs. They go on long walks and she always sends plenty of pics and videos. Kathleen is my goto sitter for Laika
100% recommend! Kathleen was so wonderful and accommodating, she was willing to meet up with me for a meet and greet between our dogs multiple times. She was very understanding about my dog’s needs and was able to help him learn how to socialize and play! Courage had a great time and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future.
Kathleen was great. Gave daily updates n photos. I don’t speak dog but I think they enjoyed their stay.

Information Kathleen O. would like to know about your pet
I'd just love to do a meet and greet to ensure your pet(s) get along with our dogs and are comfortable in our home! If you are looking for a dog walker or to check in on your pet, the meet and greet is not necessary since it is unlikely that your pet will interact with ours!
A typical day
We live less than a half mile from Riverview Park in Mesa. I walk our two dogs every morning (2 to 5 miles, depending on the day!) from our house, through a park and to the trail along the Salt River. I bring along water and a portable dish in bag on each walk. My familiarity with the trail allows me to plan a route that avoids crowds, maximize shade, and prioritize water stops!
