Ratings and reviews
Kathy is one of the most kind and caring people you’ll ever meet, and her love for animals truly shines through in everything she does. She has a natural connection with pets and treats every animal as if it were her own—with patience, attention, and genuine affection. Whether it’s going the extra mile to make sure a pet feels comfortable or keeping owners updated for peace of mind, Kathy is incredibly reliable and thoughtful. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your furry family member, choose Kathy—you won’t regret it!
I can’t recommend her highly enough as a pet caregiver. She is one of the most compassionate, patient, and responsible people I know. She regularly fosters kittens, including newborns that require bottle feeding through the night and careful medication schedules, which speaks volumes about her dedication, reliability, and gentle care with animals who need extra attention. In her professional life as a teacher, she spends every day nurturing and supporting young children, so attentiveness, safety, and calm problem-solving come naturally to her. She brings that same warmth, responsibility, and positive energy to every animal she cares for. Beyond her experience, she truly brings sunshine wherever she goes. Animals naturally feel comfortable around her, and you can trust that your pets will be treated with genuine love, patience, and thoughtful care as if they were her own. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her caring for their animals.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time and am off during the summers and holidays, which allows me to spend a lot of quality time at home. I am typically out of the house for only 3–4 hours at a time, so pets are not left alone for long periods. I truly love animals and am actively involved with a nonprofit rescue organization, so caring for pets is something I am very passionate about. Their well-being, enrichment, and daily needs would always be a priority in my home. If your dog is not used to being around cats, I do have an in law unit (where my mother in law lives) that I can put the cats in during your dogs stay. This is also the case if I happen to be fostering a cat during the time of your dogs stay.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, structured care tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, we have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, as well as a walking trail close to our house for regular walks and enrichment. Pets receive supervised outdoor time, exercise, play, and plenty of affection throughout the day. Because I am only out of the house for short periods (3–4 hours at most), pets are not left alone for long stretches. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), crate routines, and preferred sleeping arrangements. I provide mental stimulation through toys, basic training reinforcement, and interactive play. I try to maintain their established routines to reduce stress and ensure consistency. Clean water, a tidy feeding area, and lots of love and attention are always part of my standard care.
