A typical day

(WOOF) I enjoy taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood or to a nearby park. If the weather is nice, I might take them for a hike. I also like playing fetch in the backyard and doling out butt and belly scratches. However, it really depends on the dog's temperament and physical needs. (MEOW) If you have a cat, you are in good hands. As a fellow cat lover, I understand that cats—just like dogs—absolutely need enrichment and playtime to maintain their mental and physical well-being. They will get plenty of head and chin scratches, cuddles and playtime from me! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Cat Lady Who Loves Dogs

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a long time cat owner, but alas my cat and love of my life passed away in 2020. I'm not ready to adopt a new furbaby, but I can't resist loving on every dog I see. Which means I get to shower some special kitcat or pupper with cat-mom love and affection.

Kathy is a great dog sitter. She's watched my cattle dog multiple times now. Even though my dog is high-energy and difficult to manage at times, Kathy handles her very well. I always receive lots of pictures updates of them on walks or playing.

Kathy really goes above and beyond. She is super reliable, a great communicator, and sends lots of pics. She checked with us in advance and then took our dog on a daylong hiking adventure! He was so happy and so tired when we got home. Kathy is awesome!

Kathy was very communicative and sent us pictures from the weekend. My dog was happy when we arrived and the house was clean. Kathy is awesome and I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for fur babies.

Kathy was great. She sent us regular photo updates and took great care of all our pets. We would absolutely hire her again.
