24/7 Dog Care by Retired Teacher

I am a retired elementary P.E. teacher who has owned a beagle mix, poodles, golden retrievers, labrador retrievers and a husky. I currently have a 13 year old yellow lab at home, pet sit my two mini golden doodle grand dogs periodically and occasionally watch a friend’s terrier. I have experience with puppies, as well as with elderly dogs and attended obedience training with my husky. I will be at home with your dog/s at nearly all times. I substitute teach part time and have the flexibility to schedule on days when I am not pet sitting. Your pet won’t be crated in my home unless requested by you. I do have various sized crates with dog beds that I sometimes set up and leave open for dogs to go in and out of at will. A twin bed for dogs is in the living room and a queen back chair for dogs in a bedroom. I have a large fenced in backyard for the dogs to run around and play. I take a walk every day on the nearby sidewalk and paved trail or through the woods nearby and am open to you specifying the number of daily walks and the time of day or night to walk your dogs.

Kathi has provided the ultimate care for our aging yellow labrador Hank. He arrived for his latest stay with an upset tummy probably caused by watching us pack our bags! Kathi checked in with us and then took the extra steps you would take at home, preparing rice and meat to ease his tummy back to normal. We are so grateful to have found her! We appreciate her communication skills, including daily updates and pictures which put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Kathi's services, you will be so pleased with her care!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog/s will get plenty of attention because I will be here other than for short errands if they are necessary. I have a large fenced in backyard and let the dogs out before their morning and late afternoon feedings and otherwise let them go out and in at will. I will feed your dog in a safe space and watch them eat their meals. We have one 13 year old yellow lab who is socialized to people and other dogs. Dogs tend to hang out in the kitchen with me, in the living room on the next level that overlooks the kitchen or at the top of the stairs between those two rooms. I will take your dog/s on a daily walk on the nearby sidewalk and paved trails and am open to walking them shorter distances and/or more frequently based on your preference. They are allowed in our bedrooms and may sleep on our beds if permitted by you.

I’d like to know about your dog’s personality so that I have an idea of what to expect when your dog is acclimating to our environment, when the dogs are getting to know one another, during feeding time and when out on walks. Please let me know what your preferences are for your pet regarding the feeding schedule, walking schedule, and sleep arrangements.
