Will treat dogs like kings/queens!

Pet care experience

***I teach full time during the week, but am available weeknights and weekends *** I love dogs more than humans (but honestly, who doesn't?) I recently lost my pug, and my heart has been broken ever since. I had him for 15 years-- I grew up with him. He chose me as his person, and he was truly my best friend. I love dogs and would love to take care of dogs as a side job- whether it's walking, sitting, boarding. I just want to show your dog love in my free time (weekday evenings and full-time during weekends)!! During the day I work as a teacher. I will happily help train puppies if you are looking for any training help, as I have experience training my dog when he was a pup. Please send me a message if you need a walker/sitter/boarder!

Kathleen was great with Peanut! I loved seeing daily update photos and he was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Would happily book with her again!

Kathleen was wonderful! I was nervous for my pup's first time away and she took care of absolutely everything. Willow had such a great time and I received a ton of pictures :) Would definitely book with Kathleen before looking for anything else!

Kat was great! She accommodated our drop-off and pick up times and kept us up to date with lots of pictures throughout our dog, Bernie’s stay. Will definitely have her watch our him again and would highly recommend!

Kathleen was great! Communicative, followed all instructions, took my girl on a great walk and even spent a little extra time with her. I would make her my regular walker in a heartbeat, if only she wasn’t leaving the neighborhood! Highly recommend her for your pup.

Information Kathleen R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how often the dog eats and goes out. I would also like to know the dog's sleeping preferences. As a past pug owner, pugs are my absolute favorite breed, but I love all breeds! I'm most used to working with small dogs, but I wouldn't mind taking care of larger dogs.

A typical day

I have a private back patio with a fence, where your dog can lounge, do their business, and enjoy the outdoor space. I also live very close to McCarren Park, and will happily take the dog on walks in the park. I love giving dogs my full attention and playing any games-- whatever the owner has in mind, I'm happy to try!
