Loving care while you're away
Pet care experience
I am hoping to help others while they are away at a reasonable rate since I realize how important it is to have trusted care. I said goodbye to my senior dog in March 2022. I have made the decision not to get another dog, but would enjoy to give the love and compassion I still have to your animal whether it be young or old. I have also had cats in my home for 30+ years.
Reviews
It was so reassuring to have have Kathy take care of our Labs! We loved the pictures she sent and the update as well. She even let us know a package was our doorstep and brought it in the house for us.
Kathy's great! Her smile in her profile picture is genuine. She's super easy to communicate with and I recommend her 100%. Thanks Kathy, I'll be contacting you again.
Our two cats loved having Kathy stop by while we were out.
Kathy was wonderful with our elderly cat. She was attentive and provided many pictures! Our cat appeared very happy! We would definitely recommend Kathy and use her again.

Safety, trust & environment
I would love to take your dogs for walks, but am also fine with keeping them home and playing in the yard if preferred. I am fine with cats laying on my lap and would be willing to brush them if desired. I do have a fenced in back yard, so if I get comfortable with your dog (and vice versa) it's possible I could take them for extended stays at my own home in the future. I also would be willing to do house stays at your home after getting to know your pet(s). I have a high gross tolerance, so am fine with cleaning litter boxes, cleaning up vomit, picking up waste in yard. etc... I also have experience with a cat that had diabetes and needed insulin shots 2x daily.
Information Kathy D. would like to know about your pet
When we talk I'll find out from you your pet's favorite activities as well as how long of a walk your pet can tolerate. I will not be walking any other animals but yours. I'll need to know how your pet is with others, although when out for a walk I'd prefer to avoid other people's pets since I would not be familiar at first with your pet's personality...by this I mean that I would not encourage other people's dogs to come over and say "hi" to your pet, unless of course we had talked about certain neighborhood pets that your animal(s) is familiar with.
A typical day
I will take your dog for a walk near your neighborhood and/or play in the yard. I enjoy walking anywhere, parks, neighborhood streets, hiking trails, etc....If your pet has a favorite toy I would love to play with him/her.

Availability
As of March 1, 2023 I will no longer be working full-time days. I do still have my part-time job, but I will know that schedule a month in advance. From mid February to mid June my part-time job does involve day hours, but after mid June it’s mostly evening hours. It is hard to keep the calendar on Rover up-to-date because I may not be available in the morning and afternoon, but I am in the evening or for overnight, and vice versa. Please just be sure to check with me and I can let you know my schedule and I will get back to you as quickly as I can. I can be available on pretty short notice at times. If contacting me about housesitting, this is for overnight stays only, not 24 hours a day.
