Must Love Dogs...full care sitter.

Pet care experience

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!

We are repeat customers, this is the 2nd time Kathy has stayed at our home and watched our pups (2 Aussies). We would use Kathy again! We have her booked already for a trip a few months from now! Kathy sends daily updates and pictures. She keeps good care of our pups (and also our home) while there.

We went away for a weekend, Friday to Sunday, and Kathy stayed at our home. This was our 2nd time using Rover, 1st time was just drop ins with another person and this was the 1st time having someone stay at our house and pet/house sit. We were nervous about letting someone we just met in our home to stay, and then being away. However, Kathy did a wonderful job taking care of our two pups (both Australian Shepherds) and also taking care of our home. And Kathy was very communicative before and during the stay. She sent updates and pictures to us, really reliable in keeping us up to date and making us comfortable in leaving our pups with her. We would use Kathy again! (Thank you Kathy!!)

Kathy stayed at the house with our dogs and was wonderful with them. Kept me updated with photos and messages. We would most definitely use Kathy again.

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

A typical day

Most of the dogs I keep telling me what fun activities they like. Lol if they like tug, we play tug. If they want to watch TV with me, we do that. Some dogs like to chase a ball 100 times a day, if they like to fetch , well play that.

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.
