Safety, trust & environment

I will always be able to come to your home and care for your pets in the comfort of their own surroundings. Each animal is unique in what they need-and it’s up to you and I to figure out how I can best care for them in your absence.

Information Kathy G. would like to know about your pet

If you have an animal with special needs, I’m happy to discuss with you what may be required. I have experience with shots, torn ligament massage, ear and eye ointment. I’m familiar with the cleaning of skin folds in dog breeds and skin care for Hairless Sphinx.

A typical day

A fun day means different things to different animals. I do like getting outside and doing walks depending upon weather. Sitting and doing “lovies” (belly rubs etc). I talk to animals in a conversational way-I’ve been told I humanize animals. I play fetch and tug of war. I do massages and lengthy ear rubs

Pet care experience

I am almost 54 years old and grew up with household pets. I have a love for walking and sharing that time with dogs. I can safely say I have many years of experience. My in depth experience came with fostering. I currently have two Pit Mix 7 year old litter mates that came to me at 24 hours old. Once The Puppies became adult dogs and my children became adults with lives of their own, I realized I wanted something impactful to do with my time. I began working in dog rescue and committed my time for two years to all breeds, temperaments, health levels, and specific grooming needs. I also have three cats. Two came to me through the Cat Distribution System and my third I adopted as a hospice. I learned that nurturing is a fundamental part of who I am-and my favorite way to spend my days is in the company of animals. My time as a young mother is in the past and I’ve discovered my time as a mature pet care giver is my now!

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.
