Pet care experience

Animal lover! I love big dogs.

I don’t have animals at the moment. I’ve cared for, bred, trained and showed German Shepherd dogs for many years. I’m guilty of treating my animals like my children. I recently lost my last GSD and have retired and have time to care for other pets as if they were my own.

Kathy was amazing to our pups! We have a 98 pound mountain cur and a Pom. It was their first time being watched outside the home, and every worry we had Kathy made sure to put us at ease! She had excellent communication and we were at peace our whole trip. She even taught our mountain cur a new trick! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and different temperaments. We will for sure be taking the doggies back when we leave town! We can already tell they miss her and can’t wait to go back, book with Kathy your pups will have a worrisome time with her.

Kathy watched my dogs for a week while I was out on vacation. She is very friendly and my dogs took to her right away. She did a great job!

Kathy is a true animal lover. She is very caring and follows instructions for our dog Charlie. We are grateful to have found someone to take good care of our dog while we travel. My dog is friendly and loves walk and with regular updates I knew he was doing great while we were gone.

Let me know if you have any special requests or behavioral concerns. Being well informed is imperative for successful care. Play time and walks are important for well behaved dogs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
