Availability

I work at a veterinary hospital three days a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) so I’m not available for midday drop in visits on those days. My husband works from home full time so dogs boarding at our house will always have someone supervising them.

Information Kathy F. would like to know about your pet

Dogs must be friendly with other dogs and kids. I can not take dogs with any signs of aggression. I prefer dogs that are crate trained. Boarding dogs must be spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated unless still a puppy.

A typical day

I will walk dogs on leash around a small lake by my house and play with them in my house and yard. They will also be able to play with other dogs at my house.

Pets

Experienced Veterinary Technician

Pet care experience

I am a registered veterinary technician with over 20 years of experience in the veterinary field. I am trained and comfortable in taking care of special needs pets such as those that take medications (oral and injectable), are recovering from surgery or an illness, need bladder expressions or are disabled. I am trained in pet CPR and first aid and I am very knowledgable about most pet illness and conditions. I also have dog training experience and volunteer to raise and train dogs to become service dogs for disabled people. I am available to take care of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, fish and other small animals. I also have lots of experience taking care of horses. Overnight house sitting is continuous care of your pets in your home from about 7 PM- 7 AM. I do work during the day at a veterinary hospital so I’m not usually available to stay at your house during the day. Dog Boarding is 24 hour continuous care of your pets at my house and includes 1-2 walks per day and lots of playtime. I prefer crate trained dogs or dogs that are comfortable being left alone for 1-2 hours at a time while I drop off and pick up my daughter from school or run errands. Drop off and pick up times are between 7 AM and 8 PM. Dogs must be friendly with other dogs and kids. Dogs must be able to sleep independently without a human close by (humans sleep upstairs and dogs sleep downstairs). Dogs must be spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated unless they are still a puppy. Drop in visits are 30-60 minute visits at your home and include walking, feeding, medications and playtime. I’m usually available between 6-7 AM and 6-8 PM for drop in visits. Please contact me for more information. I would love to meet you and your pets.

Very thankful for Kathy. She shows up on time and takes great care of our pups and allows us the opportunity to go out without worrying if they will be alright. She gives them their food, meds, and allows them a break to go potty.

Appreciate that I can always count on Kathy when we book her. We have been working with her for over a year, and our pups enjoy her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
