Information Kathy J. would like to know about your pet

Would like to make sure that your dog (s) are pet friendly. As I have 2 dogs of my own and want to make sure that everyone gets along.

A typical day

Your dog (s) will be part of our family while your away. We go for walks around the neighborhood and we sit out side in the evenings. We will follow the routine you have in your home for feedings. I am able to give oral meds and injections. Dogs sleep in our bedroom either in our bed (if they are small) or on a bed next to our bed. If your dog is crate trained I have extra crates. I do work during the day but come home for lunch to check in on everyone. My husband is home around 2:30 in the afternoon so the most they will be by themselves is 3 hours. Weekends we are home all day playing with our furry kids and would love to include yours.

Loving pet care

Pet care experience

I would love to care for your pets in my home. I love animals. I am a nurse looking to care for peoples pets in my home while they are away giving them love and attention. I have 2 dogs of my own that are pet friendly. I also have a pot belly pig that thinks she is a dog. I have a big fenced yard to allow them to play and run around. I am also willing to care for birds (I have a parrot of my own) and rabbits. Your furry pet will be treated as family while your away. Daily updates with pictures so you know how your furry pet is doing. We love animals and we promise to love yours while your away.

Kathy and Roy are so so good to Truman. I get daily updates, Truman loves going there and races out of the car every time.

First time separated so I was nervous but everything went well. I would definitely use Kathy again.

Rufus had a blast staying with Kathy and Ron! I appreciated the nightly updates and pictures. Rufus was bathed and smelled wonderful when we picked him up. I also feel it’s important to note how clean and fresh their home smelled (you wouldn’t know they had their own zoo 😂). We definitely recommend them and plan to use in the future.

So, so thankful for Kathy! We had planned a trip to see family for Christmas and our dog sitter cancelled the day before. Kathy was kind enough to take our pup at the last minute and provided the best care for her, even getting her a Christmas present. I cannot recommend Kathy enough if you are looking for a kind, compassionate person to care for your pup.

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.
