I'll run with your dog
Pet care experience
I’m Kathy, an animal/wildlife appreciator. Growing up, I always had a pet to adore. My family generally had either a cat or a dog, and occasionally a rabbit or gerbil or guinea pig. We also rescued a couple of baby squirrels after the mother was hit by a car. We raised them until they were able to fend for themselves. I’m very comfortable around animals and they seem to be comfortable around me. I’ve traveled extensively and have had lots of encounters with exotic animals. In the Amazon, I had a “baby” howler monkey crawl up my side and wrap its legs and arms around me and stayed sitting on my hip the entire time I was touring Monkey Island – a reserve for rescued baby monkeys. In Antarctica, I was sitting near the water watching a large group of penguins long enough that the penguins decided to check me out. One penguin got up on my lap. In Kenya, I ran a marathon on a course full of wildlife. At one point during the race, I was running behind a zebra. Currently, because of my travels, I don’t have my own pet. So working as a pet sitter gives me the opportunity to be around others’ dogs or cats.
Reviews
Kathy is super amazing! My fur babies just adore her!!
Thank you for caring for my fur babies with such love and care.
Kathy was the best house/pet sitter we have ever had. She gave our babies more attention than we do and I could tell they all missed her. The house was in perfect condition when we returned home. We will definitely be booking with Kathy again!
Kathy did a great job watching our two boys. We felt very comfortable being away from home knowing that they were well cared for.
