Animal Lover Who Works From Home!

Hi! I'm a single mom of two animal-lovings kids, and our home is truly a place where pets are treated like family. I've cared for animals my entire life and have experience with just about everything-dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, and hamsters. Over the years, I've bred both puppies and kittens, giving me a deep understanding of animal behavior, socialization, and proper car. My children ask me for a pet daily but I just cannot financially swing it. So having the love of an animal around with some extra cash is a win win for me! I've personally owned nine dogs, seven cats, along with a variety of small pets, so I'm very comfortable with all ages and personalities. I also have experience caring for senior pets and administering medications, so your older fur babies will be in gentle, capable hands. What I Offer: Your pet will get a loving, safe, and attentive environment with plenty of affection and playtime. My kids adore animals as much as I do, so your pet will never be short on company or snuggles. I also work from home so your pet will get lots of outdoor play and walks. Requirements: MUST be good with young children (I cannot emphasize this enough) Must be up to date on vaccines Must be on current flea prevention If that sounds like a great fit, I would love to care for your pet and make them feel right at home!

If you are looking for someone who will love your pet as much as you do, look no further...Kathleen is the one!!!! I left my 2 year old pug Willis with her for 6 full days and I came home knowing that he was in the best hands possible. From the first time I met Kathleen (and her awesome kids), I knew her warm, friendly, fun-loving personality was a perfect match for Willis. She sent photos, videos and texts showing Willis happy, cozy and most importantly for me, adored. Willis was walked, played with (the kids made him a fort!!!) and fed well...she even made sure he had the perfect amount of parmesan on his food (a Willis must). Seriously - book her ASAP! You won't regret it!

My German shepherd was well looked after! I got great pics of my pup throughout the day on walks, playing with kids, etc and Kathleen couldn’t have been more accommodating — I would 100% use Kathleen again!

Kathleen is amazing! I was nervous as I’d never left my kitten for longer than a day before, but she treated Gnocchi like her own. She updated me with pictures and videos and gave her so many snuggles. My cat definitely had the time of her life and I will be booking with Kathleen again!

I can't think of another person that is more loving and compassionate to animals (and humans) than Kathleen. She has been around animals, mostly dogs, her entire life, including raising a litter of nine puppies. Kathleen has watched our dog several times and we always have the confidence that our dog will be provided with love, attention and safety.

Kathleen is an absolute animal lover who is responsible, kind and trustworthy. She has taken care of my 1 year old Bernadoodle several times and shares updates/pictures regularly while in her care. She gave our pup plenty of exercise-walks around the block, playing fetch and was a supportive caregiver for the week we left our pup with Kathleen. I could not recommend Kathleen more to take care of your beloved pet-I sure will use her time and time again!

I work from home so the only time I am out of the house is when I go to the gym for an hour in the morning, and when I pick up my kids from school.

I can provide endless entertainment. Take them to parks, run around in my backyard, play fetch, go for walks. Anything to keep them busy and entertained.

I must know if they are good with children first and fore most. Are they up to date with their vaccines? Are they good around other pets and strangers on the street? Do they have special needs, or special instructions for feeding?
