Pet care experience

I am a Retired mail carrier that is use to walking all day. I miss seeing all the dogs on my mail route, they would always brighten my day! I miss my dog that passed away 12 years ago, but have been enjoying watching friends and neighbors dogs ever since. I have been dog sitting and dog walking for the past 5 years. I have also volunteered at pet connection in Marilla, New York for a year. Now that I retired, I have more time for dogs and am looking for something to fill up my free time during the week. I would love to help you take care of your pet! I know what it’s like working a long day and being bombarded by an energetic dog who has been cooped up all day. Have a certificate in First Aid for Pets.

Kathy did an amazing job with my 2 skittish puppy mill rescues! They seemed to warm right up to her which rarely ever happens- she really took her time with them and will definitely book with Kathy again!
