Kathleen is a wonderful pet sitter. She took care of my middle-aged (and later, senior and chronically ill) dog any time we went out of town and always sent regular updates, communicated about any concerns or questions she had, and took great care of our dog. When our dog was in the last months of her life, she was on a lot of medication and required a special care due to a cystostomy tube that needed regular emptying, and Kathleen took great care of her when we had to leave town for a few days. There is no one else I would have trusted our dog with, due to Kathleen's history as a vet tech and knowledge about veterinary medicine. She has always acted with professionalism and thoughtfulness- and she's great at getting dogs to pose for pictures! I would recommend her services to anyone.
