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, 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.

Kathy was great with my dog! It was the first time I had to leave my dog alone and Kathy communicated with me throughout the drop in visit and sent photos. I was very pleased. Will be booking aith Kathy again.

Kathy and household have been the best dog sitters. Our labradoodle likes going there and it's hard sometimes to get him back to our car. We will continue to ask for their dog sitting time and we know our dog will want to go there. Highly recommend them.

Kathy agreed to dog sit Cody at very short notice. She also provided very flexible hours at a reasonable rate. We will definitely ask her again in the future.

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.

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.
