Kay9 | One-Dog-at-a-Time

Pet care experience

Does your 4-legged friend prefer being the center of attention rather than getting lost in a crowded pack? Well, that's exactly what Kay9 offers! Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your dog is experiencing a vacation of their own. Daily hikes or a trip to the beach, long walks, playful companionship and nurturing massages are all part of the Kay9 experience. We start the day with a long walk or hike or trip to the beach (length adjusted to dog's energy level and age). I'm self-employed, so your dog would be with me nearly 24/7. They wouldn't be left alone for more than an hour. Plenty of mid-day potty breaks and sometimes a mid-day walk when my work schedule permits. We end the day with another long walk before settling in for the evening. If your dog requires meds, I'm comfortable administering those (sans subcutaneous fluids). I also have a regular client with a blind dog. I'm trained in canine massage and the dogs I care for enjoy an evening massage. . . if they're receptive to that. I adopted a sweet and social GSD/Berger Picard who turned one in April 2021. He loves to play! If you think we'd be a good fit for your situation, I'd love to hear from you. I'm a true dog lover and your fur baby would get the best of care as well as a Wookie playmate. I have many satisfied and repeat clients. You can read some of my their praise at danakay dot net/kay9/testimonial1. I look forward to hearing from you.

I feel very lucky to have found Dana. She agreed to take our newly rescued dog (Ava) into her home on very short notice for a week over the holidays. It was the best decision I could have made. Dana is very attentive, kind, and cares deeply about dogs. Ava got lots of exercise and an endless supply of cuddle time. Any anxiety I was feeling about leaving our girl was quickly dispelled when Dana emailed daily updates and a ton of photos. Ava had a fabulous week and adores Dana. She has her own lovely furry friend (Maia) who was very gentle with Ava. Dana will be my number one choice next time we need someone to watch our girl.

Dana is a wonderful dog sitter! She really connects with and truly loves dogs. She has watched our mini golden doodle many times and we have always been extremely happy with her. It gives us great peace of mind to go away knowing the Dana will be taking care of and loving Lulu while we are gone.

Information Dana H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog has separation anxiety or any behavior problems, such as a history of biting, food aggression, etc. As much information as possible is helpful, so I'm prepared and can avoid any problem situations. I always require a meet and greet well ahead of time to make sure we're a good fit and to ensure that our dogs’ play styles are compatible.

A typical day

We love the beach and Louis enjoys swimming in calm water, so if yours does too, that would be a frequent destination. We also enjoy long walks and hikes on Tam. If your dog requires a good workout, I'll take them on a hike or play fetch. My boy can play for hours, so there will be no shortage of means to expel energy. I custom tailor our routine to your dog's age, health, and activity level.
