Pet care experience

I have had all kinds of pets growing up; Dogs, cats, fish, iguana, domestic rabbits, goats, chickens, (oh my!) since I was about 5 years old. I admire every single creature as if they were my very own. This lead to me making it a side hustle (small biz gig) my senior year of high school (2012). Just recently made a Rover account and excited to meet new clients and new pets 😁. I’m very reliable in house sitting, drop-ins, walking, feeding, and administering meds. Just name it you got it!

Kathleen followed my instructions and she was very caring with Smokey. She was able to administer his medication on the first try! I highly recommend her and will keep her in mind for future pet sitting.

Kathleen is very dependable, always on time and the most important, loves animals. She sends us pictures of our dogs, and they really love her. Our home is always cleaned up and vacuumed when we come home. I highly recommend her.
