Experienced animal caregiver!
Pet care experience
Hi there I'm Kathleen, My animal loving ways first began on my grandpa's farm with his chickens, cows and horses. But even when I moved to Toronto, my family and I got a turtle, cat, dog and most recently, a bird! In the past, I’ve worked at numerous vet clinics, at the Toronto Humane Society as an animal care attendant and a pet store as a sales associate. Although I don’t work in the animal industry currently, being a pet owner and working at these places enabled me to have a proven ability to watch animals in boarding, administer medication, provide walks as well as entertain. My time working at a pet store also gave me insight on pet nutrition which no doubt can be handy! Aside from more domesticated animals, I also love volunteering at animal sanctuaries and most recently I volunteered at an elephant rehab centre in Thailand for abused and neglected elephants most notably in the tourism industry. This should add further proof when it comes to my dedication for animal welfare and protection. Therefore, I can assure you that your pets are in good hands!
Reviews
We greatly appreciate Kathleen's care of our kittens!! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating when we contacted her last minute, after another sitter cancelled on us the morning we were scheduled to leave for a long weekend!! We do things a bit differently for our kittens. Kathleen stepped in and took great care of our fur babies! Thank you so much!!
Kathleen was communicative, punctual, and did a great job with our two cats. Even our skittish younger cat made appearances during Kathleen's visits, which was a great surprise. I will definitely be calling on Kathleen again in the future!
I’m so thrilled I found Kathleen!
Kathleen was a great sitter to our high energy German shepherd! We got back and Penny (our dog) was tired and happy :) She stayed at our house and when we returned the place was exactly how we had left. She sent lots of picture and video updates and made me feel at ease. I will be a returning customer!
