Safety, trust & environment

I love getting to know each animal at their own pace and ensuring the home environment is clean and tidy. Making sure your baby/babies have enough clean food, water, enrichment, and love is my top priority.

Information Kathy P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s temperament/personality and their boundaries if there is anything specific you think I should know about. Do they like to be handled or touched? Are there certain things they don’t like? I want to respect their boundaries and see if we’ll be a good fit.

A typical day

I enjoy taking my time to gain your baby’s trust through treats and whatever their favorite toys may be. I love learning each animal’s personality and adapting to their needs.

Cat care experience

Hiya! I live with 5 cats at home and caring for cats is second-nature to me :) I’ve worked with cats of all ages and personalities, and have a soft spot for senior babies. I also have years of experience with dogs of all ages and personalities, including senior dogs and dogs with reactivity/behavioral issues. Overall, I enjoy working with pets at their own pace and boundaries. I will ensure your baby/babies are comfortable, loved, and cared for as if they are my own. Additionally, I have experience with administering medication (oral, topical, and injection) and am comfortable so long as your baby is non-aggressive. Fun Fact: I’ve also owned fish, hamsters, rats, a turtle, and currently, a snake! Disclaimer: For most Mondays and Wednesdays (except holidays), the earliest I can stop by for morning visits is 7am. Also, please let me know if you’ve had any flea issues or an infestation within the last 6 months. I value the safety of all my clients’ pets, including my own, and this information will aid in precautionary measures for all involved.
