Would love to love your dogs or cat

I have had at least two dogs since I was about 10 years old. Now and again a cat also enters our lives. The last cat we had thought she was a dog and went for walks with us when we took the dogs out. Our dogs go camping with us and love their cuddles (as did our cat). I also volunteer at the SPCA. I retired about five years ago and am looking to supplement my retirement income by doing something that I love to do. I have done this for a couple of years now in moderation. We will work together to put a plan together. I am healthy and active and look forward to meeting with you and your pet(s) I am married to a loving husband of 40 plus years. My work history was mostly within the Schools. I was a school secretary for the better part of 30 years which allowed me to spend time with our two kids as they were growing up. Thank you for considering my services. Hope to meet you soon.

My Charlie did SO well with Kathy! She got sick a couple days after I left and Kathy handled everything just as I would had I been home. She took her to the vet, administered meds, cooked a special diet for her, and gave her comfort when I couldn't. 8 would definitely recommend Kathy if you need someone mature and loving to look after you fur baby...thanks Kathy, from both Charlie and I!

Thanks Kathy! It was very reassuring to know you were with Lily on our recent trip. She definitely took to you & I’m glad you 2 had some walking adventures. It was lovely to come home to a happy dog, clean house & even laundry done!

Kathy was fabulous with our dog. He was happy and content on our return home. He was very well looked after as was our home. Kathy kept us informed on how things were going which we very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Kathy.

We highly recommend Kathy for a dog sitter. She stayed with our 4 month old GSD and went above and beyond with care for him. She sent photos and videos and kept us updated the whole time. She took him for walks and looked after him like he was her own. Kathy is very professional and is excellent at what she does!!
