Pets Rule!

I’ve always had pets, mostly dogs! I lost both of my dogs last year (2018) 5 months apart and have been too heartbroken to get more yet! I have my dogs beds and toys just as they left them .... and sitting for little dogs in my home would fill my heart and I would love your dog as if they were my own. All dogs have the run of the house .... on the furniture, sleep with me in my bed, or wherever they want .... lots of hugs, cuddling, playing, attention, and love. If anything I’m am an overprotected Doggie Mommie/sitter! I Love Doggies .... ♥️♥️♥️ I have sat and walked dogs in the past years ago ... very rewarding whether I had dogs or not.

Kathie took very good care of our dog Jewel . She sent daily updates and pictures which reassured us that Jewel was comfortable and well taken care of. It is evident that Kathie loves animals!

My girls LOVED Kathie! They were both in such good moods when I picked them up. I expected some separation anxiety but I got plenty photos and videos of them having so much fun during their stay. Kathie was so sweet and obviously very experienced with dogs. We will definitely be using her again!

Kathie is my go to person whenever we go away (multiple times a year). My dog, Scout is a small breed and can be finicky. Kathie works hard to accommodate Scout’s needs and he absolutely adores her. I never have to worry about him while we are away. Kathie communicates often about what Scout is up to, sharing pictures and videos. I appreciate her kindness, reliability and her loves of small dogs. She treats Scout as if he were part of the family and for that, I am truly grateful.

I am good with dogs having special needs and ok with them having crates if needed or if they use pee pads or special diets! I do take 2 dogs from the same family and will take 2 from two different families if they are all good with other dogs.
