I recently graduated from college and will be starting a new full-time position in a couple of months. In the meantime, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking is a great fit for me. I enjoy being around animals and providing them with reliable care while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping the space clean, securing doors and gates, and treating their property with care. To provide peace of mind, I send regular updates and photos so owners can stay informed about how their pets are doing.

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for family pets and helping friends and neighbors with their dogs and cats while they're away. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking dogs, providing companionship, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and properly giving medication when needed. While I do not currently own a dog, I have experience walking dogs of different sizes and energy levels and understand the importance of providing them exercise, attention, and safe handling during walks. I have two cats of my own, which has given me firsthand experience understanding pet daily needs, behaviors, and personalities. Through these experiences, I ave learned the importance of patience and attentive care to ensure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

I have known Kathleen for many years, and she has always been a true animal lover. She provides excellent care for her two cats, who are clearly a top priority in her life. Kathleen is incredibly attentive, compassionate, and responsible when it comes to animals. She is also the type of person who will stop to admire a cute animal she sees and always approaches them gently and respectfully, asking the owner's permission before interacting. Having grown up around animals her entire life, she has developed a natural understanding of their needs and treats every animal with kindness, patience, and care. I have no doubt that Kathleen would provide exceptional care for any pet entrusted to her and would be a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.

I would highly recommend Kathleen as a pet caregiver. She has several years of experience caring for her own two cats and has also provided dependable care for dogs belonging to friends and family. Kathleen is extremely responsible, attentive, and compassionate with animals. I have personally trusted her to care for my dogs while I was away traveling, and I always had complete confidence that they were in good hands. Her reliability, strong sense of responsibility, and genuine love for animals make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy pet sitter.

Kathleen is one of the friendliest people I know! She adores all animals and has a special way of bonding with them right away. My cats are super shy around people that they don’t know. But whenever they see Kathleen, they let her pick them up and it’s like they’ve known her forever! She’s also fantastic with dogs and treats all pets like they’re her own. She goes above and beyond to ensure that all pets are cared for. She’s very professional, organized, and caring! I would highly recommend her to any furry friend owner!
