Throughout the week I do have a few recurring 30 minute walks at other clients' homes so I can be out of my home for short periods of time. I always try to run errands on days that I do not have a dog in my home.

Information Kathy L. would like to know about your pet

Last year I discovered I am allergic to dogs and cats so I cannot allow them to sleep in bed with me. Sleeping arrangements are important to keep us both rested and happy.

A typical day

I love to be outside so I take 4 to five walks a day. I start the morning with a 20 to 30 minute walk and another one around 6 pm. Every 2 to 4 hours we go out for a short walk or to hang out in the yard.

Full time Loving & Attentive Care

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Kathy and I have lived in the Greater Philadelphia Area for 17 years. I have four adult children, four grand dogs and two grand cats. I am most experienced with dogs, however, throughout my life I have owned and cared for a variety of pets including cats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards and turtles. The area of Havertown that I live in is a wonderful dog-friendly community with endless sidewalks, low speed limits and nearby dog parks. I do not work outside of my home so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur baby. I can assure you that your pet will be in great care, great company and they will feel right at home with my family. I am currently being treated for pet allergies so unfortunately I cannot allow pets to sleep in my bedroom.
