Safety, trust & environment

I will take care of your pets as instructed by you - in fact, having written instructions will help me immensely, particularly if there are medications or special needs to be met. If I'm staying overnight I will spend my time hanging out, walking or doing supervised potty breaks, providing lots of toy time and snuggles with your pets. Knowing what a typical day looks like for you and your household will give me the guidance I need.

Information Kathy W. would like to know about your pet

l want to do what is best for your pet. Please let me know if there is anything I need to know in the way of particular behaviors or needs. Having written instructions is always helpful, especially if your pet needs medications.

A typical day

I will play with your dog or cat, spend time with them outdoors, and walk your dogs wherever you recommend - especially if you have a particular route or spot your pet likes to visit.

I love all the fur babies!

Pet care experience

For many years I lived in an apartment and could not have pets, so taking care of friend's and friends of friend's pets was a wonderful way to connect with animals. I've spent extended periods with dogs and cats - I've even taken care of a dozen chickens, in addition to the resident dogs and cat for one friend. I now have a sweet kitty in my life named Koda, along with my housemates two cats. I will take care of your fur babies just as you would. I know how stressful kenneling can be, so let me hang out with your fur kids.

Kathy continues to be an absolute gem and our go to Critter Sitter!! She spent everyday hangin with our pack of pups, took them in the pool everyday for their FAV summertime activity…swimming annnnd for Winston, getting water splashed for him to chase…he’s our special one haha! We came home to an immaculate nest and happy critters…although they were elated to see us, it was very evident that they love their Kathy as they continued to follow her around even though we were there! Winston and Waylon have claimed her haha! Also, being the sweet peapod that she is she left me a little card and a dog mama necklace…which I absolutely love!!

Kathy is such a gem!!! Most importantly my critters love her and the love is reciprocated! She is so thoughtful….after staying at our nest and observing my love of dragonflies she found a sweet little dragonfly bag and filled it with treasures! So thankful for her! 💚🐾🐾

Our experience with Kathy was amazing! She took amazing care of my 2 boy cats as well as our condo, left everything the way she found it if not better. Stan has a bad heart and needs medication and Kathy handled everything perfectly. She sent multiple updates and photos a day (which I loved!) 10/10 recommend her. We already have her booked for our next trip!
