I will treat your fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable administering medication and don’t shy away from the less glamorous parts of pet ownership.

Information Kathleen R. would like to know about your pet

Please be as specific as you can with your pet’s needs. I am flexible and follow direction in care very well. I’m happy to help your pet however is needed.

A typical day

We will go on long walks, play in the yard (if you have one), sniff every single rock on the way, and get lots of pets!

Pet care experience

I grew up around animals and have owned and taken care of pets of all kinds… rats, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, you name it! I started out watching for neighbors when I was young and now have two kitties of my own. I also love pups and volunteered walking dogs once a week at a local shelter for years! 😻

Kathleen has been an amazing cat sitter! She is super communicative and was great in giving my cat love and attention! I will definitely be booking her again when I go out of town 😊

Kathleen is always so amazing! She goes above and beyond to look after our cat and has helped with food/water/litter and even my mail and packages. Our shy cat who is scared of people loves her. Thank you again for helping us out!

Kathleen has helped us out multiple times already and is always so wonderful! Our cat (who is afraid of people) loves her and she has gone above and beyond every time.

Kathleen was perfect!! My cat who usually is shy and terrified of strangers loved her. I really appreciate the flexibility when our travel plans changed, and and even offered then helped change out our litter! I would absolutely ask her to come again.
