Providing The Gold Standard of Care

Registered Veterinary Technician Providing The Gold Standard of Care As a dedicated pet sitter and registered veterinary technician, I bring professional expertise and a passion for animal well-being to every visit. With experience handling all breeds of dogs and cats, I specialize in compassionate care, behavioral support, and enrichment to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I take an "easy does it" approach when building trust with animals, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. Whether your pet needs basic care, medication administration, or behavioral guidance, I’m here to help. In addition to caring for my own three cats, I also manage a feral cat colony, further deepening my understanding of feline behavior and needs. I look forward to providing reliable, professional, and loving care for your pets while you're away! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and a stress-free environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, ensuring pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow all care instructions meticulously, including feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special needs. My "easy does it" approach helps pets feel at ease, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. As a registered veterinary technician, I’m trained to recognize signs of distress or illness, and I take every precaution to keep pets safe. I also ensure home security by double-checking doors, monitoring pet safety measures, and keeping clients updated with detailed visit reports and photos.

Rebook with Kathleen again. She is always super patient, considerate and professional with our cat. Our cat is a shy girl and usually hard to find when guests coming in. But she will come out and greet Kathleen every visit. That tells everything:)

Kathleen always takes great care of our cats. One of them is nervous around people and one of them needs inhaler medication.

Finding a trustworthy catsitter for senior pets, especially for a long trip, can be stressful, but Kathleen gave me complete peace of mind. Her care for my two elderly cats (The Grandpas) was impeccable and deeply compassionate. I was so touched to learn she brought them toys and played music to ensure they felt calm and comfortable in my absence. She's a true professional who clearly cares and loves cats. I recommend her without any hesitation – she's a true gem!

To provide the best care possible, I like to gather important details about each pet before a booking. Knowing their breed, age, and any unique traits helps me tailor my approach. It’s also essential to be aware of any allergies, medical conditions, or past injuries so I can take the necessary precautions. Understanding a pet’s temperament is just as important. I always ask about their behavior around new people, other animals, and any known triggers, such as loud noises or separation anxiety. Their daily routine, including feeding schedules and favorite activities, also helps me keep them comfortable and stress-free.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
