Loving dog care while you're away
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Kathie. I look forward to welcoming your dog into my home and spoiling him/her while you are away. I adore dogs. I have had dogs in my life for 35+ years, and have owned dogs for 28 years. Sadly, my beloved 'Jake' passed away in December, 2015. I have had Cocker Spaniels, Rottweilers, a Golden Retriever, a Samoyed, a Norwegian Elkhound, and several shelter dogs. My husband and I live in a quiet subdivision near a small lake and lots of beautiful trees, grass and wildlife. We will walk your dog 4 times a day, and take them in the car if we run errands. We treat dogs as a member of the family. They will be allowed on our furniture and will sleep in our bed with us, or wherever they feel comfortable. We don't have children, so your dog will have all of our attention and will receive loving care and pampering, and will have lots of toys to play with. Your dog will be able roam free in our home. I will send text messages or emails to update you on how your pet is doing so you can relax while you are away.
Reviews
Kathie is always our first call then we need a sitter. She is wonderful and accommodating, and we're pretty sure our two dogs are spoiled more by her than they are by us.
Kathie did a great job taking care of our Doberman Pinscher. Sent us pictures and videos daily which made it so much easier on my family, mind you we were away for 15 days. Will definitely use Kathie again!
Bear totally enjoys going by Kathie..
Kathie is the best. Duke loves her and she loves him. It is very comforting to know he is taken care of while we are away.

Information Kathie D. would like to know about your pet
All dogs I care for MUST be house trained. I would like to know your dog's temperament, likes, dislikes and behaviors, if he/she is up to date on shots, if there are medical conditions, and if your dog is socialized/friendly with people and other dogs. All dogs I care for MUST get along with other dogs.
A typical day
I do not have a backyard, but I do have an enclosed deck where your pet can get fresh air. I am able to administer oral medication, but I do not have experience giving shots. I will be with your dog early mornings and from 4:30 p.m. throughout the evening and night. My husband will be home with your dog from morning until 1:45pm. So your dog would only be alone about 3 hours Mon-Fri.
