Pet care experience

I stop for every dog I see 🐾

I grew up with dogs of all sizes and have always had a dog in my life. I’ve also had two cats and loved playing and lounging with them. I’ve had a rescue dog and currently have two King Charles Cavaliers. If your dog likes to go on walks, play in the yard, go swimming, or needs a quiet environment, I would love to keep your dog company! I’ve worked with rescues, mixes, and purebreds, I enjoy light training and keeping a dog challenged. In the past several years I’ve taken care of a friend’s dog that has special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and making sure your dog is comfortable and feels safe. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to take great care of their pets over the years.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to work with you on short notice if your schedule changes. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, play in your backyard or take it for a ride over to a walking/hiking trail or to a lake to go swimming. I will always greet your pet by getting on the floor with them in your home. Lots of petting, and belly rubs is part of the initial bonding at every visit. Depending on your rules, we will play inside, in your yard, or maybe take a walk. If it’s an indoor kind of day, having a cat or dog on my lap on your couch or on the floor will work too. I believe reading what an animal needs that day is important.

Kathy very quickly made my dogs comfortable and sent terrific pictures so we could keep up with our babies. I will definitely reach out to Kathy in the future when we travel.

Kathy is a great pet lover who always sends the best pictures and reports of what my pups are up to when we're away.

Kathy was so great dropping in with our 2 pups! We booked with Grover only 1 week before leaving over the Christmas holiday and she met with us right away so we had no worries leaving. We had a change in plans and didn't need her the last day and apologize for the mess up. Definitely will use her services again🐾

Kathy is great! Our pups absolutely love when she comes to visit. She’s always going above and beyond by wiping their paws before coming in the house or taking great pictures of them during their walk. Kathy is our go to person on Rover.

Kathy is the best person on Rover to be with your pet. She is very communicative with me and is very flexible with my schedule. She leaves great feedback of her visit and is willing to go out of her way to print off pictures of her visits with the pups. Ollie and Mila love her like family and get so excited when we remind them “Kathy is coming”.

Schedule

I’m currently working part-time and would be happy to work your pet into my schedule. I can sometimes take pets beyond 3pm, please ask if you have a drop-in need outside of my listed hours. I try and help when I can, especially with last minute changes in your schedule and you need a sitter quickly.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kathy can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
What are a few of your pets favorite things to do? Does your dog have special needs or behavioral issues I need to know about? How do they do around people, kids, and other animals? How does your dog do on a leash? What commands do you use?
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.
