Pet care experience

Pets are like Family! 🐾🐈❤

I have over 25 years experience with dogs and cats. I love all animals, but have always had a special connection with dogs (and of course cats as well.. even though they have a mind of their own and are gonna do what they want). I have experience with dogs up to 80 lbs. I have a rancher home with a fenced in yard (no gaps and all gates are always locked), I love to take walks and am not far from a dog park. We also leave plenty of time in the day for cuddling, for the more laid back dog. I currently don't have a dog (missing her deeply which is why I decided to join Rover in 2018 so I can cuddle and care for other people's pets!) but I have 2 cats at the time (but mostly hide when dogs are in the house) and look forward to taking care of your fur babies. I have no fear of dogs and they seem to trust me!! I also am willing to watch or pet sit any other animal as well!! I truly love them all!! I do work full-time (leaving the house around 8 a.m. and returning 5:30 p.m.) but my husband is usually home by 3:30 and could let them out. So there would be a 7 hour window where they would be home alone. All pets must be UTD with shots and flea/tick treatments and groomed and/or bathed before their stay. I also have an above ground pool for the water loving pooches! Thank you

Thank you so much!!! We had 100% peace of mind the whole night. Kathy sent adorable photos of their stay. The pups came home tired and happy. We could not have asked for more.

Kathy was so patient and kind with our dog, AJ. It was our first time leaving him and he is a big handful, so we are very grateful to her for taking such great care of him. Thank you for everything, Kathy!

Another fabulous time at Kathy’s house! This time we added our 2 kitties! Kathy and her whole family are amazing. They truly love our babies. My Teddy is my heart and I know that he’s in the best place possible when he’s at Kathy’s. Even my cats who hate change settled right in. Definitely recommend Kathy and her family!

As soon I get home all my attention goes to them and on weekends they are my only attention. I let them sleep on the bed with me as well.

Safety, trust & environment

They will get lots of exercise and lots of love 💘. Any dogs which do not get along can and will be separated for the safety of everyone, yet I would prefer that they do get along well with others.

I have no breed preference I love them all!! I would like to know everything about the dog first!! What their habits are at home.. Is she/he a jumper/escape artist?? Do they like other dogs and other animals as I do have 2 cats? (However my cats will probably not be seen the time they are here as they are afraid of other dogs) Are they allowed on the furniture and/or bed?? (Mine are) just every little thing that would be helpful for me!!!
