Pet care experience

Tail Wags Guaranteed!

I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, birds—you name it. I’ve picked up a lot over the years just by being around all kinds of animals with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m confident and calm whether I’m hanging out with a couch potato pup or a high-energy goofball who needs a good run to settle down. If your pet has specific needs—crate routines, feeding schedules, meds, whatever—I’ll follow your instructions exactly. I’m big on communication and will always send plenty of pics and updates so you feel connected while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets in their home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I stick closely to their usual routine—whether that means feeding at a certain time, refreshing water, administering medications, or just knowing where they like to nap. For drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks (or litter scooping for cats). I’ll clean up any messes, check food and water, and keep an eye out for anything unusual in behavior or health. I also send photo updates during every visit so you know your pet is doing well. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to match your dog’s energy level and preferences—whether they need a slow stroll around the block or a brisk walk to burn off some energy. I use secure gear, always keep safety in mind, and make sure your dog gets both physical and mental enrichment during our time together. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, respect, and love.

Kathy is an incredible pet caregiver! I have five dogs with very different personalities and needs, and she handles them all with so much care and attention. I often have her house sit for me, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her hands. What really stands out is that she gives each dog their own individual walk time, so they all get her full, undivided attention. She’s patient, reliable, and truly treats them like her own. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my pets when I’m away.

Before any visit, it’s super important for me to know if your pet has any special needs, quirks, or behavioral considerations. That includes things like medical conditions, reactivity, nervousness around strangers, or specific routines that help them feel safe and happy. The more I know, the better care I can provide—and the more your pet will feel right at home with me.
