“Wow! Auntie Kathy and her gorgeous gaggle of goldens are the BEST! I cannot say enough about how incredible our experience with Kathy was. She is beyond the best. She is super responsive and took incredible car of my guy. Daily walks to the park, tons of exercise, wonderful homemade treats, big yard, and great company. What more could a golden want? I highly recommend — your pet will love her!”

“We had a week trip coming up and prior to that, we did a trial overnight stay at Randy's for our dog. When we brought our dog on the 1st day of our week trip, our dog waggled her tail as soon as she saw Randy. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog to Randy knowing our dog likes her. She sent photos and videos to us during the trip and kept us informed how our dog was doing. We will definitely use her as our dog sitter on our next trip as well. Thank you so much Randy!!”

About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, a German Shepherd, who has been with me since he was a puppy. I currently work afternoon shifts from 2 pm to 10 pm, which means I’m fully available in the mornings for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your dog. My days off are usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when I have full availability and flexibility. I’m reliable, organized, and always plan my schedule carefully to make sure every dog gets the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication at all times. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding, walks, and house rules. I’m respectful in clients’ homes and always make sure dogs are secure, comfortable, and calm. I keep environments clean and controlled, and I treat every dog as if it were my own.
“Top dog sitter I ever used. He sent loads of fun pix of Zoey. I was able to trust that Zoey was well taken care of. He was quick to reply to any questions. Definitely will be looking for him whenever Zoey is needing a sitter again. Thanks Zakk.”

“Kathy was a wonderful dog sitter to our puppy! He had so much fun with the other pups and he came home very happy. We highly recommend Kathy and will book with her again soon”

“Richelle is great with our puppy who is sometimes too rambunctious with her more calm dogs. She instinctively knows when it’s best to separate them. Our Sophie loves going to her house!”
“I am grateful to have connected with Randy through Rover. Randy’s calm demeanor, patience and genuine love of dogs, combined with her serene home with a spacious yard, puts me at ease and thankful for the amazing care she provides to our dog while in her care.”

“Kathy is an absolute dream of a dog walker. She loves my Maui boy as if he were her own and I always feel so at ease and comfortable having him stay with her. He LOVES his weekly walks with her and as a nurse who works long hours I am so incredibly appreciative to know my boy is having fun during the week while I work! We love Kathy”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small animals, and hoofed animals, and my experience extends far beyond pet ownership. I hold bachelor’s degrees in biology, psychology, and anthropology. My studies in animal behavior, physiology, and research help me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. I also volunteered in an animal shelter environment for approximately three years, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I became comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I have experience administering medications and genuinely enjoy caring for senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also passionate about exercise and an active lifestyle and am happy to provide outdoor walks and enrichment for energetic pets. In addition to my animal background, I hold a master’s degree in counseling, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in a variety of situations. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or senior, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and routine so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured yet flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I generally have the most availability on weekends, school holidays, and breaks—especially during the summer months—when I can provide extended, consistent care and house sitting. During the school year, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m always happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I value consistency, communication, and reliability so that pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and owners can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
