Highlights
Pet care experience
Ready to go for a fun walk!
I grew up with dogs and have been enjoying caring for friends’ and family’s dogs while they travel for over 15 years. I was responsible for full time dog care up to 2 weeks including feeding, daily companionship when remote working and walking or hiking with dogs as well as overnight stays. Recently retired and expanding my dog walking/care to more pets.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have cared for friends’ pets at their homes with overnight stays of a few days to a few weeks. Currently seeking dog walking opportunities but open potentially to future home stay care for pets.
Ratings and reviews
Kathleen is an absolute gem of a dog sitter and walker! She took incredible care of our Border Collie, Meisje. Being an active breed, Meisje needed someone who could keep up with her energy, and Kathleen’s athletic nature was the perfect match. She took Meisje on wonderful long walks and hikes that kept her happy and fulfilled. Beyond her energy, Kathleen is remarkably caring, intuitive, and attentive. She truly picks up on how a dog is feeling and adapts to their needs. Knowing Meisje was in such gentle, capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. We couldn't have asked for a better caretaker and cannot recommend Kathleen highly enough!
My dog Jamie loves Kathleen as much as Kathleen loves him. He gets so excited to jump in her car because she is in it and he knows that means we are going to do something fun. Kathleen is very conscientious with him and I completely trust her with him.

Schedule
I recently retired and very flexible weekday hours, but away many weekends. If in town, I can likely open times for weekend days as well. My hours during the day are also quite flexible currently.
