Pet care experience

I LOVE THEM AS IF THEY WERE MY OWN!

I have had dogs from puppies to seniors all of my life, and kittens/cats most of my life, from chihuahuas to St. Bernard's, from kittens to seniors. I got my first cat which quickly turned into 4 cats, when I got my first apartment because my dad was allergic. I AM AN ANIMAL LOVER is all I can say. I love them as if they were my own. Try me out. You won't be sorry!

Safety, trust & environment

Since I already have three dogs of my own, my husband would be happy to watch mine while I come to watch your cats and/or dogs. He does leave town now and then for work so I need to schedule in advance.

Kathleen house/dog sat for us for one night, and we were very pleased. It was the first time we’d left our rescue pup overnight, but Kathleen’s texts and video set our minds and hearts at ease. Her communications were good and she was very accommodating, besides being a genuinely nice person. Our pup took to her right away. Recommend!

Kathleen was wonderful with my Sadie who is very standoffish with anyone new. I only booked her for one night but Sadie was happy and unstressed when I got home. I will definitely book Kathleen again.

Kathleen is the best pet sitter we have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much ours love her. She is reliable, trustworthy, and excellent with communications. Dobby and Tux were happy and relaxed when we returned, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. And our house was cleaner than we left it! We highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, passionate, and sincere pet sitter!

Kathleen was so sweet and flexible for our long weekend getaway- thank you!!! We can always tell if our dog was comfortable with her sitter when we get come, and she was one happy girl!! 🐾 Will definitely ask Kathleen back on our next trip.

I recommend Kathleen highly. Our dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned, and it was obvious that they were well taken care of. Kathleen also took good care of our home and plants.
