Highlights
Pet care experience
Remote Worker with Daily Flexibilit
I own an Italian greyhound, and sighthounds have taught me a lot: reading their sensitive body language and using gentle handling and leash technique. I've also given medication to pets in my care, so I'm comfortable and confident handling pills, liquids, or other routine treatments your dog might need. I work remotely full time, which means I'm home and available every single day. Visits happen on a real schedule, not squeezed in around a commute. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and treat your dog's routine as seriously as you do.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I cannot recommend Kathleen enough as a pet sitter and walker! As a devoted dog owner and an amazing mom to two wonderful boys, she brings a natural warmth, patience, and incredible organizational skills to everything she does. She is deeply conscientious, endlessly kind, and treats every animal as if they were her own family. You can rest completely easy knowing your furry best friend is safe, happy, and receiving the absolute best care in her hands.

Schedule
I work remotely full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm home all day, every day, which means I have flexibility to schedule visits throughout the morning, afternoon, or evening depending on what works best for your dog's routine. I treat drop-in visits as a genuine break in my day, not something rushed between meetings, so your dog gets my full attention for the time I'm there.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At home, I have a fully fenced backyard, which gives dogs safe space to play and get some energy out, plus a crate available if a dog is more comfortable with a den-like space or needs a calm, secure area to settle. When I'm caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding routines, medication, or specific rules about doors, gates, or off-limits areas. I make sure everything is secured before and after each visit, including locking up behind myself, and I treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own.
Pets
A typical day
For dogs, I love a good walk or backyard playtime like fetch or tug of war. For cats, I follow their lead: interactive wand toys and laser pointers for the playful ones and quiet lap time for cuddlers. Whatever your pet's personality, I try to match their energy rather than push my own agenda on them.
