Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible animal lover
I live in the Gaslight District of Clifton, in a cat-only home. I have been a cat owner on and off for 20 years and have cared for neighbors' dogs and cats for nearly as long. Whether it's a Russian Blue or Siamese, Irish Wolf Hound or Pug, I love getting to know and work with animals. (I even spent 5 summers volunteering as a teacher's aid at the Cincinnati Zoo!) I would love to meet your furry family member, and I welcome the chance to walk your dog or care for your pets while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am a longtime pet owner and caretaker with experience working with cats, dogs of all sizes, and even pets with significant medical needs. I can come to your home to feed, walk, or care for your furry family member. As an active person, who walks 5-7 miles most days, I am happy to take even the most energetic dogs on walks or play with your pet while you are away.
Ratings and reviews
Kathleen was absolutely fantastic. She stayed with our two anxious dogs, one with special needs requiring daily meds for a week. We got thorough updates every day with multiple pictures. She made us feel very comfortable and were able to fully enjoy our time away. Will definitely book again!
Kathleen is always great with my cats! She is patient and understanding even with my anti-social cat Rosie 😹. She sends me daily updates and pictures which helps keep my mind at ease while I’m away. I will always trust her with my cats if I ever need to travel again in the future.
We are so fortunate to have found Kathleen! We have employed her twice to housesit while we were out of town. She is responsible, attentive to special needs of pets, and communicates regular updates. We feel 100% comfortable leaving our pups in Kathleen’s care!
My pets and I adore Kathleen! She is reliable, thoughtful, and kind. We book her for every trip we go on. I'm sure your pets would love her, too.
Kathleen was excellent with our fur babies! She was patient with our dogs and sent adorable photos of their time. She also went above and beyond to clean up an accident our dog had. Can’t wait to have her stay with our dogs on our upcoming trip later this year.
Kathleen continues to be an amazing sitter! She gives my high energy dog all the attention and exercise he needs, which is not an easy feat. She also did great watching our cats in a challenging set up. I recommend her enthusiastically!
