Must Love Dogs...full care sitter.

PET CARE - IN YOUR HOME I would like to invite my previous clients as well as new clients to consider me to take care of your pups & pets when you're out of town or visiting this area. I recently moved within driving distance of Murfreesboro TN but only available to stay with your furbabies at your house, which is a plus for pets. I also retrieve your mail and other small household jobs as requested while you're away. I love animals and have experience caring for them all my life. ** I also have experience with horse care. If you have large animals also, can discuss requirements ** Fee additional I do have a young cat but she stays separated from the dogs.My beloved and much missed aussie crossed over to the rainbow bridge 4 years ago but I still like to show her off, she was my best friend forever. I will take care of your dog as you direct and love them as if they were my own with plenty of walks and belly rubs if they want. Contact me if you need anything and I'll do my best to be available. NOTE: I only do housesitting for one client at a time so I have a two pet minimum or charge for two. I can sometimes work outside my county radius but may add for extra fuel and travel time. Be sure to check my reviews on Rover. Thanks!

Safety, trust & environment

I only do housesitting and occasional drops at your place. My clients normally tell me their dog or cats feeding schedule and how long they can be alone during the day if I have errands or business to take care of. The more information you give me, the better. I also check mail, take your trash can to the road for pickup day, water plants etc.....as you ask if needed

Super communicative (check-ins both in the morning and evening with photos), follows detailed instructions, and loves on my pups. I would certainly recommend her!

We absolutely love Kathy - almost as much as our doggos do! We plan our trips around her availability as she makes it easy to leave without concerns. The absolute best!

Kathy provided updates twice a day and took good care of my dog. My kitchen was not as clean as when I left it.

Kathy was so professional and communicative! She came Over before the stay to meet the dogs and make sure she knew their care instructions. While we were gone, she sent daily updates and treated our dogs like her own!

Kathy was amazingly communicative. I received at least 2x a day updates if not more including pictures. She let me know if she was going to be away from my dogs and how long. She also was able to handle lots of supplements and add-ons to my medically-challenged dog. She was super friendly and prompt. Overall, it was a great pet-sit. Thank you!

Schedule

I only do housesitting and try to work for clients within 20 minutes of my home so I can do my normal activities during the day. Some days I don't go anywhere but some days I may have to be out for a few hours, depending. It's important you let me know if your pet needs constant care or how much time they require during the day so I can plan accordingly to meet your preferences.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kathy can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If your dog needs any kind of special attention or is reactive of anything, please let me know . Are they afraid of storms? Other people or dogs?
