Pet care experience
Hello, I'm Kathy. I love socializing with dogs and feel like I really understand them. When I'm with dogs, I feel natural, comfortable, and full of joy. I'm thrilled about the opportunity to meet lots of pups and become an even better dog-person through pet sitting. **Im open to negotiating rates. Every pet & their person has different needs. Maybe your pet doesn’t require much attending to, maybe they need all the attention. I want to work with you.** I am working on my Master's online. I have lots of experience dog sitting and I have two cats of my own. I live with my boyfriend, who adopted a Pomeranian named Dash from the Pasadena Humane Society. He is a very fun and friendly pup. My family also has a Corgi named Toby, who visits from time to time. We love dogs in our family and spoil them with toys, treats, and lots of playtimes! I'm an empathetic, considerate, and nurturing person. I am very emotionally intelligent and have spent all my adult years caring for disabled family members, children at summer camp, students in class, and children I was hired to nanny. I care deeply about people and animals and love every dog I meet. I'm good at picking up on a pup's social cues and giving them lots of love and attention. Dogs are like people; they just want to be loved! In addition to dog sitting, I'm open to caring for cats and kittens. I have a litter robot in my home, and my cats are super sweet and easy-going. I like taking our dogs for long walks around our neighborhood or hitting the trail in my free time. I also like writing, sewing, surfing the web, and reading. Sometimes I bring a book to the dog park and get some reading in while my dog plays. Please note: I somewhat have an aversion to Japanese Akitas and similar breeds because an Akita had previously attacked my dog at a dog park. Dash gets three pee breaks, two poop breaks, and a 10-minute walk daily. I can fit your dog's schedule into his. My cats have an automatic feeder and a litter robot. A few times a week, I feed them wet food as a little treat. I have a fenced yard and a pet gate for necessary in-home separations. Our house has two bedrooms and a large living room, and we allow pets on the furniture. We are huge cuddlers.
Reviews
We love coming to Kathy's. Shortround is always excited when we pull up to the house.
Kathy was yet again a trusted caretaker for my elderly Maltipoo. He spent the week at Daycare with her and I could not be more relieved that he was under her care. With his advanced age, he tends to get anxious and have weird quirks about him. But, Kathy was patient with his elderly ways. She provided regular updates and photos of him each day. She communicated any potential issues. She was flexible with some time changes I asked for. If you ever get a chance to book her, I very much believe that you'll also find a great place at which you can be at ease to leave your beloved pet.
5star plus. It was a long trip and we couldn't ake our dog. KATHY was great and gave regular updates and photos, and we can see how happy and content our dog was while on trip.
Kathy did a great job with Molly again!

Safety, trust & environment
I already have my own pets (cats and dogs) and the house is fully prepared for their safety when I’m at home and when I’m away. I treat the pets I care for as my own!
Home
Information Kathy T. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a new pet, I ensure my place is super dog-proofed and ready to accommodate your pup's unique needs. I'd like to know about your furry friends' breed, exercise requirements, and feeding schedule. When I first meet a dog, I crouch down, let them approach me, sniff me, and get to know me at their level.
A typical day
While I pet sit, I always make sure to communicate with with the owners throughout the entire stay. As a dog parent myself, I know what kinds of details are important to you and will share regular updates through texts, photos, and videos. Since my schedule is so flexible, I’ll be able to play with your puppy, take them for plenty of walks and potty breaks. Your canine counterpart will primarily be under my care but will stay in a house with my boyfriend as well. My boyfriend and I are a young couple with lots of energy. We have many dog and cat toys and the energy to chase our furry friends around the house.

Availability
I just graduated, and I’m job searching. That means for the time being I am fully available to resume my rover services! When I board pets, they typically adjust quickly and I have no problem treating them like another one of my own pets. when I am boarding I try to stay home much more often than usual to monitor them and give them attention. For day care visits, I try to be present for at least 90% of the time. Also, i am especially interested in 1hr dog walking opportunities. I enjoy getting some fresh air and exercise, and I also like training dogs on their walks.
