Pet care experience
Happy Paws! Compassionate Pet care!
As a lifelong animal lover, I provide dependable, compassionate care for pets as if they were my own. Whether you need pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, or care in my home or yours, my goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have over 30 years of experience in the medical field, which has given me a strong foundation in caregiving, attention to detail, and recognizing the needs of others—including our furry family members. In addition to general pet care, I have experience providing gentle pet massage for senior pets and those recovering from injuries. Our family includes a friendly Goldendoodle and a tabby cat, and we have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. Throughout my life, I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and even a beloved pet duck who was part of my family for many years. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and I strive to provide the same love, care, and attention that they receive at home. Whether you’re at work, traveling, or simply need an extra helping hand, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring and capable hands. Special Care Please let me know in advance if your pet has any special needs, requires medication, has mobility challenges, or needs individualized care. I am happy to work with you to ensure your pet receives the attention and support they deserve. “Providing loving care, personalized attention, and peace of mind for you and your pets.”

Ratings and reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kathy is truly amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! We have four dogs, which is definitely a lot to take on, but Kathy handles them all with so much patience, care, and love. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with not only our dogs, but our home as well. She consistently goes above and beyond what we could ever expect from a pet sitter. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about each of our dogs like they are her own. Having four dogs means four different personalities and needs, and Kathy takes the time to make sure every one of them is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. One of the best parts is the peace of mind she gives us when we’re away. We never have to worry about whether the dogs are okay or being taken care of — we know they are in wonderful hands with Kathy. That kind of trust is priceless when it comes to your pets. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, trustworthy, and willing to go the extra mile, Kathy is absolutely the person you want. We cannot recommend her enough! ❤️🐾
My vacations are always so much more enjoyable knowing that Kathy is with my dog. He absolutely loves her and she knows all his quirks and loves him anyway.
I can see why Kathy is a 5 Star sitter! She was so wonderful with Dublin! He ran to her as soon as we got there! She has a calming demeanor that put my skittish rescue at ease immediately! She said they were just going to hang out, and relax, and you can see from the photo, Dubbi looks quite comfortable, and relaxed! Dubbi got along well with Kathy’s dog, Ollie, as well! Her home is warm, and welcoming. I can see why people, and pets would feel right at home! It was a great experience for both of us! Thank you so much!
Kathy did a great job caring for my dog and was very accommodating!
Kathy is great with my dog, Sherlock. He is so comfortable with her. I am always so relaxed knowing he is in good hands and being loved and taken care of when I am away.
Cody had a 4-night stay with Kathy and had the best time. I really appreciated the consistent updates and pictures. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Cody!
