Highlights
Pet care experience
FirstAid certified, caring, insured
Hello - As a dedicated pet care professional, I understand that leaving your beloved companion in someone else’s care requires deep trust. That is why I combine compassionate, individualized attention with dependable, safety-first protocols—ensuring your pet stays safe, healthy, and loved while you’re away, and giving you total peace of mind with regular, transparent updates. I am Red Cross certified in CPR and First Aid for both dogs and cats, an active member of PSI (Pet Sitters International) and fully insured. I offer discounts or free nights for bookings over 10 nights. LGBTQ and IPOC friendly. I’ve cared for senior and special needs dogs and cats, pregnant cats and Guinea pigs, litters of kittens and individual puppies and rabbits. Whether I’m walking your dog, or giving your feline medicine, they deserve the utmost in care and compassion. For those looking for over night boarding, I live 8 minutes west of Sea Tac Airport for easy drop off and pickup. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out to schedule a Meet and Greet so we can chat about how I can best support you and your furry family member.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kathy was super easy to book with and sent multiple photos and updates while Penny was boarded at her house. Penny seemed to love Kathy’s large backyard and grass area. I’ll definitely be booking again for boarding and some dog walks.
Kath is the perfect person to take care of your furry animals! She is always prepared, communicative and attentive to the needs of others. On top of that, she is extremely caring and enthusiastic!
Kathy offers a rare combination of true professionalism and deep compassion for animals. As a lifelong animal lover, she is exceptionally safety-conscious and someone I trust implicitly with my pets. She is an outstanding communicator, keeping you reassured throughout the day with frequent updates and photos. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, Kathy has cared for everything from dogs and cats to rabbits and guinea pigs. She is especially skilled with senior pets, special-needs care, and high-energy dogs. Right from the initial meet-and-greet, her thorough approach ensures she fully understands your pet’s unique routine and care plan. Between her dedication to safety, excellent communication, and genuine affection for animals, I can unequivocally recommend Kathy to anyone looking for top-tier care!"
Kathy is an absolutely wonderful human being. I've known Kathy for over 30 years and she has walked and boarded our beloved family dog countless times. Kathy is extremely reliable, very communicative, and thorough. Her top priority is your pets safety and comfort. Her specialty with animals (and plants!) is patience. She always makes time for the extra snuggles, the slower walks for older dogs or additional play time for younger pups. You would be lucky to have Kath be with your fur baby!
Kathy is perhaps the most organized and responsible person I know. She also has a great love and respect for all pets! I can assure anyone who is looking to hire Kathy that she will be communicative, responsive, diligent, and on-time.

Schedule
In regards to my schedule, I’m a young retiree who loves to stay active and interact with fur babies of all types and ages. I'm home all day and my schedule is flexible and nimble. Additionally, if you prefer boarding, my yard is fully fenced, almost a half acre and plenty of clean, fresh, green grass to roll around and play in (see in photos.) My house is smoke free, air conditioned in summer, and pet friendly with plenty of space for cozy naps and room to play inside and out.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is paramount as I care for your dog or cat. For your pets safety, I travel with a portable pet first aid kit and pepper spray. In order to give individual care and follow safety protocols, I only board three dogs at a time.Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my highest priorities.
Pets
A typical day
Dog Walking: Depending on your pets preference and energy level, we'll walk, jog, and play games. If there is a park nearby we'll check it out. I include my pet first aid kit and pepper spray for your dog safety on all walks. Dog boarding: My fully fenced backyard is a shy half acre of green grass to frolic in. For mental stimulation, I have several dog puzzles and games. On hot days, I bring out the dog pool. We have scheduled walks and nap times and plenty of indoor space for the pack. My house is smoke free and pet friendly. I live just 8 minutes west of Sea Tac for convenient drop off and pick up. I'd love to meet you and your pet!
