Highlights
Pet care experience
Flex schedule. Escape Proof yard
I am a foster Mom for rescue dogs. I've also successfully trained a service dog for Helping Paws. Dog sitting is a way for me to socialize pets while helping out fellow dog lovers. I offer pick up and delivery service as well as airport runs for clients as a convenience for folks who live nearby. My home is conveniently located off of 394 and 494. The fenced in back yard is escape proof (rescue dog tested) and I have gates in the house to keep dogs from escaping through open doors. Safety is a priority. I retired from corporate life a few years ago and found my new passion is caring for pets. My husband is also a big help! PS. No Pit Bull's or Chihuahua's please

Ratings and reviews
Pooka had a wonderful time at Kathy’s house!
Kathy took great care of our 5 month old Pudelpointer, he came home very tired and happy after playing with her dogs for 24 hours. Really like the secure back yard they have
Fantastic experience!!!! My pups stayed 5 days with Kath when we had a last minute out of town trip. Kath was very responsive and accommodating. She has a great fenced-in backyard, living room set up for pups, and a walking trail they took the pups on for long, nature walks. My pups will definitely be back at Kath’s ! I feel very fortunate ( both for me as pup-mom and for my pups:) ) to have found her!
Kind, responsive, and accommodating - everything I’ve wanted in a dog care giver! We will be returning again. Fenced yard my pup loved. Has kennels for nightime which my pup wouldn’t go near (she sleeps in bed with husband & I, lol). a little spendy $$$ but worth the extra.
Kathy took good care of Presley.
Kathy is excellent! My dog loves going to her place!

Schedule
I'm typically gone from 1-2 hours each day and home the rest of the time. Pet care brings pure joy and happiness into my day! My husband is frequently home when I am out and about.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and doggy door that most dogs learn how to use very quickly. Making sure dogs are compatible with each other is a priority. Slow introductions are managed by having dogs meet in a neutral space and then we go for a walk so the dogs get used to each other before entering the house for more socializing.

A typical day
I usually walk around the block. It's a one mile loop that can be expanded to two or three miles. We also play ball or frisbee in the back yard, depending on exercise needs of the dog.
