Pet care experience

Caring, polite and loads of fun

I've sat working, sporting, nonsporting, herding and hound breeds since I was young. I have owned working and sporting dogs and currently have a toy, a Bichon named Bardi and two medium size fluffs, Rocky a Shepard mix and Blitz a Sheltie. I've worked on farms and in stables, and have been in dog working and sporting shows. I am confident in handles all types of pups of any age and personality.

Kate was great! She was very responsive and flexible and the dogs had an amazing time. They came home happy and exhausted!

We had three stays with Kate over the course of two months and Kody had a wonderful time each time. Kate does a spectacular job making sure everyone is comfortable and informed and that the pups have a good time away from home. The second and third time he was so excited to spend the weekend again with his friends and I know he appreciated being in a comfortable home instead of a boarding kennel while we were away. It made our trips much more relaxing so that we could focus on what we were traveling for. Thanks again Kate!

Pets

A typical day

I live in a friendly dog neighborhood. We have several walking paths near by. I love going on walks and playing in our large private back yard. Depending on the pup, we can also just cuddle on the couch and get in loads of belly rubs.
