Pet care experience

Rescue Foster Mom, love dogs!!

I love animals and especially dogs and have worked as a volunteer at the local kennel where I would walk, feed, and overall provide love and companionship to the dogs in the kennel. I became a foster mom with a local rescue about three years ago where I take in dogs rescued from high kill shelters into my home and provide them with a safe and loving environment while awaiting their adoption. It’s been such a privilege to be part of the rescue journey and have had the opportunity to see the improvement of many dogs from sad and neglected to happy and trusting! I take pet care seriously and care for all the dogs as if they were my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard for play and exercise. I also abide by a consistent routine for food and exercise. I will care for them as if they were my own and follow any specific instructions to ensure your pet is as happy as possible. I have a seven year old shepherd and a three year old rat terrier mix who are both very friendly and love to play with other dogs!

Kathleen took exceptional care of Stinky whilst I was out of the country. It’s clear she is highly experienced with dogs and genuinely cares about them. I received regular updates throughout the stay, including lots of photos and videos of Stinky relaxing at home, playing in the garden with Bella and Sasha - who she really got on with - and out on walks. It was obvious Stinky was very happy and comfortable there. Thanks again for taking such great care of her - we’d definitely book again.

I had a wonderful experience with Kathleen! She watched my senior dog for three nights and took excellent care of her. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was also very attentive about giving my dog her medication on schedule, which I really appreciated. Before the stay, we did a meet and greet so our dogs could get to know each other, and I’m so glad we did—my dog got along great with her two dogs. It was clear that my pup was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

I want your pet to have the best possible experience so please let me know if there is anything in particular that your fur baby needs and I would be happy to fulfill the request. For example, if there are any medications that are needed and with what frequency, how many times a day do they eat, any dietary restrictions, how and where do they like to sleep, etc. Overall, just any information that would help in ensuring your dog is as comfortable as possible is appreciated!
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.
