Just like many of us with pets, Kathleen Cummings fell in love with animals at

   an early age.  Since then they have become ever-more present in her life.  The

   attention she lavishes on her own mixed breed Cheyenne, extends to caring for

   others' pets with an ease that instills trust for the pet owner.

   Working with animals seemed a better fit for Kathleen than following her

   business education into the corporate world.  For her, caring for companion

   animals is a genuine, rewarding and natural labor of love.

   By the time her military family settled in New England, travel was in Kathleen's

   blood and she followed that urge until visiting Portland, Oregon eight years ago.

   She knew in an instant she'd found her new home and has been happily

   entrenched here ever since.

   Being outdoors is partly what draws her here and with that, getting our pets

   outside into the clean (albeit sometimes very wet) air is a pleasurable experience.

   Watching our dogs sop up all the smells or our fresh environment is an experience

   Kathleen knows many of us enjoy.

   In addition to an unwavering commitment to the well-being and safety of your

   pet, Kathleen provides the following:

          Waggy Tail Walks is fully insured and bonded for your peace of mind.

          Trained in Pet First Aid and CPR by the American Red Cross.

          Member, Pet Sitters International and Oregon Pet Sitters Association.
