Pet care experience

Your pup’s new best friend

Hi everyone! I'm a huge dog lover who has experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a small dog but have also spent lots of time walking and sitting medium and large breeds like pit mixes, labradors, golden retrievers, and goldendoodles. Whether it's an energetic walk, a quick drop-in for playtime, or medication administration (I'm comfortable with both oral pills and ear drops), I'm here to help keep your pet happy and healthy. I’ve regularly dog-sat for family and friends, and now I’m excited to offer the same level of care and love to your puppies! I work from home 2 days a week, which means I have the flexibility to be with your pups all day long on the days I am not in office. My weekends are even more open, so I can accommodate longer visits or more frequent outings. I’m dying to have a dog of my own right now (but can’t due to apartment rules), so getting to spend time with yours is the next best thing! I’d be so excited to hang out with your pup and make sure they’re well-fed, hydrated, and most importantly, loved while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your pup!

Safety, trust & environment

While I can’t board any pets at my apartment, I do ensure that your homes are kept in good shape while you’re away. I always make sure to do a walkthrough of the home to make sure no one got into anything they shouldn’t be getting into, and that all doors are locked, lights are off, and dogs are settled in before heading out.

I just can't say enough good things about Kathleen. We have a rescue Terrier mix named Theo who is nervous around new people and I was apprehensive to leave him with a dog sitter while we were out of town. I shouldn't have worried. Kathleen was fantastic! She took things Theo's pace and they soon became friends, which is a big deal for Theo. Kathleen is communicative, professional, reliable and will be our first choice when looking for a sitter for Theo in the future.

We had such a wonderful experience with Kathleen staying over to care for our cats. She kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the photos and messages that the cats absolutely loved her company and felt comfortable and happy with her. Knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands made it so much easier for us to relax. We’re truly grateful and would happily have her stay with them again! 🐾
