Dedicated Care and a Peace of Mind

I've been rescuing and caring for dogs my entire life. After I had my first child, I chose to leave my career, stay home and professionally care for dogs. Therefore, you can count on me to be there when you can't, giving you the peace of mind you need, while providing personalized care and detailed updates. Please click on the main photo to see some of my fur buddies, our yard and home.

Kathleen took great care of our 11 year old dog Luke! She provided us with updates and pictures daily. We felt very comfortable while away and will definitely us her for future needs.

Kathleen is superb. We have used many dog sitters and Kathleen is the most attentive, caring and responsible caretaker I have yet to experience. We have an elderly 15 year old dog and we only feel secure and comfortable leaving her with Kathleen.

Absolutely best experience. My doggie had so much fun! Walks, ball play, off leash time. Thank you!

Kathleen was great. We were nervous leaving our dog for 4 days but Kathleen and her family were great with her. She sent us alot of updates and pictures which was very reassuring!

Kathleen is wonderful! She took incredible care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures and updates every day, which gave me total peace of mind. She is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. We will definitely book with her again!"

Exceptional! I have a wonderful little dog that can be a bit touchy with new settings. Kathleen was wonderful with him. Her communication was excellent. Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs love running and playing in our huge, fully fenced back yard. There's plenty of room to run, explore and lounge. Inside, we have multiple dog beds and couches to choose from. A favorite spot is the couch in front of our bay window. The perfect place to dog watch and say hello to the mailman. We have baskets full of various toys, balls, bones and ropes, which are rotated depending on our guests. Whether your fur baby needs to get energy out, with walks and play or prefers to chill and snuggle, we've got them covered. I typically host 1-2 families at a time. This allows me to focus my attention and be flexible, while providing a loving, social environment to make friends. Should there be an overlap in stays, there may be more dogs. I only care for one new dog at a time.

A typical day

When staying in our home, I follow the care routine you and your dog prefer, which we discuss in detail, during our meet and greet. Any changes are updated with each additional stay.
