Pet care experience

LOVING expert care, YOURS like MINE

Animals have always been a major part of my life. I have experience with grooming, bathing & boarding animals during my college days. Animals sense the kindness & goodwill in my heart. I was recently told, "I have never seen my cat allow anyone to pick her up." I also briefly fostered a German Shepherd at a local kennel. She only allowed me to be around her. She was very protective of me. She was a one person dog that needed to be adopted by someone who had a lot of time to change her aggressive behavior towards others. I currently own 3 geriatric kitties. Ebony is 14, Buzz is 17 & Bacardi is 21. Two of my 3 are on medications all of the time. I also have a 2 year old German Shepherd I rescued from a bad situation. Her name is Khelani. I call her Lani for short. She is a sweetheart and has needed a lot of socialization due to her prior home. I am currently not working. Pet care is the perfect fit for me at this point in my life. Taking care of animals is a joy. My love, empathy, compassion & heart of gold touches the innocence that animals behold. I will feed, play, walk, clean kitty boxes and all else needed during my visit. I am prepared to spend quality time with your precious fur baby. It is clear you are trusting me in their care. They are a part of your loving family & deserve the first- rate best. Thank you for choosing me to take care of your fur babies. This final message is for all who tried to book in the past. I apologize for all delayed responses. My issue was my direct phone number. It accidentally got placed as another number and caused major delays. I TRIED ON MY OWN, BUT ROVER HELPED FIX IT TODAY. IT IS 100% CORRECTED AT THIS DATE AND TIME OF 2:15 PM, AUGUST 21, 2022. Thank you! Kathy

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My own pets are 3 cats and one dog. My cats are all geriatric and have special needs. I make sure they always have fresh clean water daily and clean bowls. Several kitties take daily meds for the rest of their lives. My dog is high energy. I take her on long walks and hikes in the mountains. She is very attentive to me and sticks to me like glue wherever we go. I give her cosequin daily for healthy joints. She also eats blue buffalo with glucosamine chondroitin part of the ingredients. I also feed my kitties high quality food to hopefully prolong a healthy long life. All of my animals are indoor. They are a bunch of spoiled fur babies. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Kathy was great! My dog and cat were well cared for in our home. Kathy came to the house to care for them. She took many pictures of the dog and cat looking very happy and not stressed. I will defineately use Kathy again.

I’ve been friends with Kathy for over 40 years. She’s had cats of her own for that entire time, plus dogs for most of that time. She LOVES animals and is a very kind, compassionate and responsible person. She would be a wonderful pet sitter and caretaker for anyone’s pets!!!

Kathy has cared for my dog on multiple occasions. She’s like an animal whisperer. All dogs and cats alike are drawn to her. She will give your dog all the love in the world and spoil them like they are her own. Having her watch your pet is a no brainer

Kathy...well animals are drawn to her good nature and kindness in a way that I have rarely seen when an animal first meets someone new. My son and I have a chocolate lab and not only has she won the dogs heart, her patience with an animal has allowed for her to help train the dog. The dogs has become more patient when it comes to walks and pulling its walker. I hope I never need anyone else to care for her when we need an animal care giver. Michael

I would like to know a dog's personality so there are no surprises during a visit. An example would be if I am walking your dog and something we encounter sets a dog off into wanting to sprint off while they are leashed. This could be a safety issue for me. I want to be prepared for the unexpected. I also do not want to put them in a situation they may fear. I want your dog to feel safe 100% in my care.
