Information Kathleen S. would like to know about your pet

Familiar with many different breeds from MinPin/Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls. Think that a meetup in advance is a good idea to see if it is a good fit.

A typical day

Happy to go on walks and play fetch or tug with dogs, depending upon the request of the pet parent. Happy to cuddle dogs who need to be held and reassured. I have a pooch like that ?

I am dependable and kind :-)

Pet care experience

Warm hearted, dependable and kind. Familiar with many breed personalities. Have 4 well behaved rescued dogs, a cat and a horse. Will follow owner’s schedule and instructions. I believe that exercise is key to a happy dog. And since I have had dogs and cats most of my life, I am very familiar with caring for the special needs of older dogs and cats such as required dosage of medications, and enough time spent for affection if needed by your pet. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m happy to comply with your needs. Am happy to come and meet with you prior to making a commitment with you, so we can see if it is a good fit! I am a fan of Caesar Milan methods.

Kathleen is amazing! She truly cares and goes above and beyond. My boys are normally shy and were comfortable with her. It was the first vacation where I wasn’t worried about our cats the entire time. They were in good hands. We are very happy to have found Kathleen.

I am very grateful to have found Kathleen. I have 3 dogs and one of them has some emotional challenges! She was not intimidated by her at all and I am certain that they will become friends in short order.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
