“Kathleen took great care of Wilfred while we were gone over Labor Day. It was the first time we used a new Rover sitter in our new neighborhood, and we got super lucky finding her last minute. We even decided to stay out of town for an extra day/night mostly b/c Kathleen was so flexible and happy to check on Wilfred for an extra day/night. She's definitely at the top of our list now for sitters for both check-ins or longer trips!”

About: I have had pets around me my whole life: dogs, cats, fish..the usual. I have a love of fur babies. Animals usually seem to gravitate to me and I love it. Have watched and taken care of the pets of friends and family for years. My goal in caring for your pets is to make sure that even though they miss you when you're gone, it won't seem like you're gone long to them due to the love and care I will provide them. I am not working at the moment so I have plenty of time to devote to your precious family members. My house is small so I will only be able to come to you. I am available to devote as much time as you and your little ones need. I live in a small home with 2 others. I have my baby Willow who is 2 years old and a Boxer/Sheppard/Pit mix. We don't have a fully fenced in yard but there is a dog park nearby that I love taking her to.
