Your Pet's Ultimate Staycation
Pet care experience
I engage your furry friends with special activities during their stay! Enjoy dog-friendly crafts like safe puppy painting, crafting clay ornaments, and creating unique paw print art. Enhance mental stimulation with entertaining doggy puzzles and snufflemats, promoting a playful and curious mindset. Incorporate fun doggy training games into our time together, fostering both mental and physical well-being. Your pet's stay will be filled with creativity, joy, and interactive experiences tailored to their unique preferences. I have a special connection with pets, exemplified by my rescue journey with a street dog. Despite facing challenges, I transformed his life, nursing him back to happiness and health. Inspired by this experience, I delved into force-free training, exploring mental enrichment and healthy activities. Now, equipped with valuable skills, I'm eager to extend these services to enhance the well-being of your furry companion.
Reviews
Kathie took wonderful care of our sweet dog! Was super accommodating with our schedules when we booked fairly last minute, would definitely recommend!
Kathie was an absolute blessing! Days before a 2 week out of country trip my original pet sitter ended up in the hospital so had to scramble to find a new sitter. Kathie answered my request and did a meet and greet immediately putting me at ease agreeing to watch my senior dog with all his medications and my demanding cat. She was fantastic with watching them and keeping them on their schedule plus giving them lots of attention and love and working with all my dog’s quirks and ailments. She kept her calm even when my dog had an issue and worked with my friend/ contact to get him all squared away. She gave daily updates and pictures helping me enjoy my trip. Not only did she do a great job with my animals and keeping my home clean but when I got back I came home to the most amazing surprise ever! She did these cute little paintings with the pets and made me a birthday card and a little story book along with birthday gifts. It was such a wonderful surprise! I cannot say enough good things about Kathie and am unbelievably grateful for finding her and the care she gave. It takes a lot for me to be impressed and to gush and she deserves all the praise and then some.
Kathie went above and beyond with Dylan. She found so many enrichment activities to do to keep him happy and active. She really understands what makes dogs happy.
Kathie is amazing - I never have a concern leaving our babies with her! She always has enrichment activities ready to go and we’ve gotten the cutest keepsakes after her stays. Highly recommend Kathie!

I advocate for force-free methods in pet care, aiming to ensure your dog feels as happy and comfortable as if you were with them. My belief is that having a sitter should bring positive experiences.

Information Kathie W. would like to know about your pet
To ensure proper care for your pet while in your home, there are some essential details I would need. Firstly, I'd require a comprehensive list of their daily routine, including feeding times, exercise routines, and any specific medications they may need. It's crucial to know about any allergies or dietary restrictions your pet may have to provide them with appropriate meals. Additionally, I'd need information on their favorite toys and games to keep them entertained. Instructions regarding potty training and designated areas for elimination are essential. In case of emergencies, I would need your preferred vet's contact information and any specific medical instructions. Lastly, knowing about their temperament, comfort with strangers, and any unique behavioral traits will help me ensure a stress-free and enjoyable experience for your pet during my time as their caregiver.
