Highlights
Pet care experience
Here for pets, all shapes and sizes
I have experience as both a large and small animal veterinary technician, a degree in Animal Science and my most recent position was teaching high school animal science. I have taken care of a wide variety of species including reptiles, birds, dogs, cats, chinchillas, fish, horses, goats, sheep and more! I am attentive and understand the physical, mental and emotional needs of pets especially when their owners are away. I offer both short term and long term care and have covered up to six month deployments. Animals in my care are treated as if they were my own. I can take them hiking, swimming, and running as long as the owners are comfortable with it. I currently work part time as a nurse Monday through Friday. This schedule allows me to offer plenty of time with kids and pets around work hours. We are an active family with two fully vaccinated dogs who love when four legged friends come to stay. Our yard is LARGE and fully fenced. We have a dog door where pets can come and go as they please and also reside in a safe neighborhood that's great for walking.

Ratings and reviews
Kathleen and her family are great, they took care of my cat and did an amazing job. Thank you so much for everything.
We feel confident leaving our sweet dog in her care!
She did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Winter! She kept me updated the whole time with messages and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Winter was happy and well taken care of, and it was clear she was in great hands. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Kathleen did a fantastic job with our pup! I received daily updates and pictures, and my dog came home happy! Will use her again.
I loved everything about her and her family. My dog has separation anxiety but she was perfectly happy with them. She let my dog be included in their activities and made her part of their family. I couldn’t be more appreciative of how amazing she was with my dog.
Kept in touch wonderfully and was very helpful with our time changes when weather changes occurred.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care based on the pets needs. Some need more cuddling, while others need help getting their energy out. Interaction and activities are based on each pup or cat's individual needs.
Pets
A typical day
I share my love of the outdoors with my four legged friends. We will get out for a variety of walks, hikes, games in the yard and maybe some field trips if the dog travels well and owners are comfortable with it.

- Let me know if your dog has any special needs, allergies, dietary restrictions, if they get along with other animals, and any other preferences you or they have. I would also like to know their typical living arrangement such as if they do best in a crate, prefer a dog bed or something else for overnight. I typically allow dogs to roam the house throughout the day, spend time in the yard, play games etc.
