🐾 Small dog lover 🐾
Pet care experience
I absolutely love all dogs, but small and elderly dogs are my specialty. I only board smaller dogs due to the height of my fence and for the comfort level of the animals in the house. Before joining Rover in 2023, I already had decades of experience working with dogs. :) I have worked with pets professionally in a veterinary clinic and in the nonprofit sector, as well as on a volunteer basis for local rescues. I have three small dogs and have cared for many more as a foster care provider. I work full time from home, so you can be sure I’ll be keeping a close eye on your loved one. My household also consists of an older teen as well as my husband. They are both totally on board and also love dogs.
Reviews
Kathleen is a word fabulous!
Kathleen is great with my senior dog. We’re convinced that he likes it so much that he doesn’t want to leave!
Excellent care for our senior dog. He didn’t want to leave!
We love Kathleen. She takes great care of our senior dog and he loves visiting her.

Home
Information Kathleen S. would like to know about your pet
Calm, small and older dogs will get along best with my three. Please let me know if your pet needs a crate or has any house-marking issues. Please let me know if your pet has ever bitten anyone.
A typical day
I have a fenced yard (4 foot split rail with wire fencing between the rails), so the dogs can go out as often as they want. During the day I work at my home computer, so I am almost always nearby to keep a close eye on them. There are tons of comfy beds and blankets all over the house, and the dogs are welcome on the furniture.
Services
Kathleen can host
Availability
Day care or vacation care in my home for smaller, older dogs are available assuming our dogs are a good fit. My dogs are mature so they get along best with dogs over two years of age who are past the puppy stage.
