Experience: 10 yrs
Caring for animals is more than just a job for me. It's a passion that stems from years of experience as a former foster dog parent and current servant to my affection-selective tabby cat. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort and happiness above all else. I offer pet sitting, walking, feeding, medication administration, and transportation. My approach to pet safety and well-being includes maintaining a clean and secure environment, vigilant observation, and consistent routines. In unexpected situations, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and communicate immediately with you. With a college degree and over 10 years of experience, I'm equipped to handle a variety of needs. Witnessing a pet's unique personality brings me joy, and I strive to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in capable and caring hands.
Kathleen has watched my French Bulldog several times over the years and is always fantastic with him. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Frenchies can be a little…shall we say stubborn, but she’s great about giving him all the scritches, attention, and couch time he thinks he deserves. She also sends updates and photos, which I really appreciate when I’m away. I always come home to a happy, well-cared-for pup (who may or may not be slightly spoiled from all the extra love). I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
