Safety, trust & environment

When house sitting, I like to follow my clients' instructions and try to keep a normal routine for their pets. If permitted, I’ll take them to off-leash dog parks to socialize and/or play games like fetch. Any requests for “constant care" dog sitting where I cannot leave the pet at all during that time for more than three hours, would result in a hourly rate of: One Adult Dog: $37/hr. One Puppy: $40/hr. Holiday Rate: $44/hr. Additional Adult Dog or Puppy: 15/hr. This premium rate is generally for exclusive, specialized care that does not include overnights. Please note that Rover also charges a 11% booking fee on top of my rates.

Kathleen is great. Wonderful communicator and really loves dogs. Provided frequently updates and pictures. My dogs were very happy when I come back from my trip.

Amazing as always! We all are big fans of Kathleen’s, over and over repeat customers. She’s done a great week of house sitting for our puppy and a cat, and I couldn’t be more comfortable with her thorough reports, being responsive and reliable. Needless to say, she’s our person of choice whenever we need an eye for our furry kids. Much much grateful 🙏

Schedule

I’m now full-time on Rover and available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m typically available for walks and drop-ins between the hours of 8:00 am to 8:30 pm. For house sitting services, I usually only accept dogs that can be left alone for at least 4 hours at a time during the weekdays, but preferably between 4 to 6 hours, since my work schedule for dog walking and drop-in visits can change daily.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kathleen can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
Please provide as much information as possible for your dog(s) profile on Rover, such as socialization and care, known allergies, health and medication, veterinarian contact, vet insurance, and vaccination information Also, please let me know if I can take your dog to an off-leash dog park, and how well they do with recall and commands. A list of commands they know and follow would be helpful. Thank you! (***All dogs need to be licensed, rabies vaccinated, and have other required permits applicable to your city or town’s by-laws, etc. You will need to provide me with documentation or proof of such before I accept any bookings. Thank you!)
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
