Hi! I’m Kathleen, the owner of Pause-4-Paws! Caring for animals has been one of the greatest passions of my life. With more than 35 years of hands-on animal care experience, I understand that every pet deserves love, patience, and individualized attention.
As a licensed and insured, woman-owned business, I take pride in providing dependable, professional pet care that gives owners peace of mind while they’re away. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, overnight care, boarding, or special medical attention, I treat every animal like a member of my own family.
Experienced With Special Care Needs
Many pets require more than just food and exercise. I have experience administering a variety of medications, including:
- Oral medications
- Topical medications
- Eye and ear medications
- Injectable medications (when prescribed)
- Specialized feeding and senior pet care
I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with ongoing medical needs, always following your veterinarian’s instructions carefully.
A Military Family That Understands Reliability
As part of a retired military family, I understand the importance of integrity, responsibility, and commitment. Those values are reflected in every aspect of my business. You can count on me to provide dependable care, clear communication, and regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
Meet Champ
One of my greatest teachers has been my own rescue dog, Champ. Despite having only three legs and one eye, Champ has overcome incredible challenges with resilience and joy.
I personally trained Champ to earn his AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification, demonstrating my commitment to positive training methods, patience, and building strong relationships with dogs.
