I want more pets - share yours?

Pet care experience

Lifelong animal lover, recent retiree and Woods Humane Society volunteer, I am flexible during the day and would enjoy bringing your pets some love and care while you're gone. My dog and cats have a second parent to care for them when I am with yours. Fully vaccinated! My background includes 4-H training and showing dogs (winning in obedience with my mutt and showed others' purebreds) and horses, and rescuing many dear dog and cat companions over the years. I have had bottle baby kittens, a diabetic cat on insulin injections and dogs with seizures, so I understand and care about your beloved pets' special needs. Exercise is important for myself so your dog's walks help me too. Let's meet and greet to see if we're a match!

Kathy was great with all 5 of our pups! We have wide range of ages, including a paralyzed pup in a wheelchair. She catered to their individual needs and gave us daily updates. We are very picky on who we have care for our pups and we were completely at easy having Kathy stay with them. We were able to enjoy our vacation and came home to happy, health pups! Thank you so much, Kathy.

So blessed we found Kathy to watch our fur baby. We will for sure use this sweet labradoodle dog whisperer in the future. Frankie was so relaxed around her immediately 😊. Thank you Kathy.

Kathy provided reliable, and just as important, loving care for our four cats in our absence. We were able to enjoy our time away with our kids without worrying about our four kids back home! Thanks Kathy!!

Kathy did a wonderful job! I have multiple cats. Two are geriatric, one on medication. She took very good care of all of them. She even watered my plants. My smoke alarm started beeping while I was away. Kathy took care of it. It's so comforting to know that if something unexpected happens, Kathy can handle it! I would definitely recommend her and would love to have her care for my kitties again.

Information Kathy R. would like to know about your pet

What is your pet’s daily routine? I want to fit in to your home and fill in for your absence as much as possible. Besides exercise, what is familiar and comforting? Do they enjoy petting, scratching, tummy rubs, etc? What hygiene, cleaning, etc. do you need done to keep their home in good order? No breeds are better than others - I love them all! Tell me their story; I love to hear them.

A typical day

You tell me where your dog enjoys going in your neighborhood. I love to play fetch or quieter games if that's in order. Cats may want to play or have me sit quietly and provide company. I’m flexible.
