Highlights
Pet care experience
Doggie Doula
I offer compassionate, attentive pet care rooted in the belief that animals are deeply intuitive, sentient beings. I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and presence I give my own, recognizing their ability to understand both our words and our energy. My approach is calm, nurturing, and mindful, ensuring your pet feels safe, heard, and cared for. Whether walking, feeding, or simply spending time with your dog, I bring heartfelt dedication to every interaction.

Ratings and reviews
Kathleen is a dog whisperer! We just returned from 2 weeks out of the country and our Scout was in the best of hands. Kathleen has a dog of her own that is so lovable and calm, so Scout had a buddy. Scout had an anal gland issue while we were gone (why is it always when you're out of town?) and Kathleen took her to the vet TWICE and took amazing care of her, and her problem is now resolved. Cannot recommend this sweet lady and her dog loving husband enough!
Kathleen S. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Once again Kathie was amazing with Ivy! Lots of pics and updates. I can tell she is having the time of her life and comes home pooped out but so content. When i arrive to drop Ivy off, she bolts into Kathies arms and gives her a full face lick down, shes just so excited to see Kathie and her sweet dog Ranger. We’ve used Kathie three times and have her booked for another two dates! Love, love, love leaving Ivy with Kathie.
This was Ivy’s second time to stay with Kathie and once again she played her little heart out and had so much fun! Kathie made sure she had plenty of affection and kept her active with walks and play time. We’ve got a busy travel schedule coming up and have already planed for Ivy to stay with Kathie 3 more times!
Kathie was wonderful! She sent lots of pics and updates and took my sweet Ivy out for lots of exercise and activity. Parks and long walks kept Ivy engaged and happy. She treated Ivy like her own dog with plenty of cuddles and love. We have several family events this year and I’ve already reserved Kathie for Ivy’s care. She is so amazing! And as an added bonus, Kathie has a background in dog training, so she knows how to read dog behavior.
Kathleen is amazing! She took perfect care of our puppy while we were gone. She truly understands dogs and caters to what each dog needs. She sent lots of pictures and videos too, which we loved. I really feel like she took care of our dog like her was hers. Will be using her from now on!

Schedule
I am early riser and start my day in nature; outside walking my boy, Ranger, or taking a yoga class, sometimes both. I work from home and can easily take breaks throughout the day to go for walks or throw a ball.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet will be considered a member of our family. Allowed to sit on my lap while I work, play with my boy Ranger (who loves to share his toys), or snuggle into one of many dog beds to take a nap.

A typical day
I take my boy to the park 7:30am-8:15am everyday, then two additional daytime walks. Sometimes we just sit in the yard and enjoy the sunshine. I offer lots of human interaction and a dog friend too.
