Dog Lover To Treat Yours Special

I’ve always had a dog and have cared for dogs until 1/21 when my Chloe passed. I have been a dog walker for a shelter to honor her as well as to care for all types of dogs. I enjoy being outdoors and walking dogs is wonderful for both them and I. Dogs love unconditionally and I so enjoy being in their presence and giving them love in return.

House Sitting • Jun 24, 2026

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect person to come and stay with our 10 year old Spinone than Kathleen. Not only did she take on the challenge of caring for an older dog, she went way beyond with managing his ear and eye medications flawlessly. Texting photos and progress was so helpful and when she had a question about him, she contacted me without hesitation. I was very nervous leaving him for five days, but she really handled everything that came up so well that I felt lucky to have her here. Our home was left in beautiful condition and we couldn't be more grateful to have found her. Thank you again Kathleen for helping us. Paula & Wellie

Doggy Day Care • Mar 26, 2026

Kathleen was a delight for me and my dog. It was a last-minute booking. So having never met my dog before drop-off, she took time for my dog to get comfortable with her before I left. And then she sent almost a dozen pictures and videos while I was away for about seven hours. She also sent several updates (and compliments) about my dog, so I didn’t even have to wonder if everything was going well. She obviously loves dogs.

Kathleen brought great enthusiasm and energy to her time taking care of our dogs. She took them for an ocean swim and walks, created special treats for them, and even picked up poop in our yard. And she sent a ton of photos and videos. What a wonderful person to care for your dogs! Highly recommended.

We could not be happier or more appreciative for the dog sitting services Kathleen provided for our two labradoodles. She submitted updates, photos, and video of our girls enjoying their stay with Kathleen. They were extremely well cared for, fed on time and plenty of exercise! Her home environment was calm and loving. This was the first time we have left the girls with anyone but family, and I would not hesitate to leave them again in Kathleen's care. She was wonderful!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a welcoming home in which your dog will feel right at home and live in a neighborhood which offers walking opportunities to enjoy nature.

A typical day

If your dog is boarding with me, they will sleep on my bed and awaken to head directly out for some fresh air and a walk. They will eat according to your developed schedule with fresh water provided at all times. Walks every 3 hours so that we can both take a break from the home and enjoy being outside.

I am drawn to dogs as they are to me. I enjoy spending time with them and giving them meaningful attention. it makes me very happy to be in the presence of a happy dog. The more you share with me about your dog, the more I am able to make a strong connection with them and the more at home they will be which will make us both very happy.
