Here to help take care of family ❤️

Pet care experience

Our family has had a total of 4 golden retrievers and 1 yellow lab since I have been little! I have cared for several types of dogs for family, friends, and strangers. I recently moved to NJ from my parents house and unfortunately, my two goldens did not travel with me, so I am itching for some quality doggie time ☺️

Kathleen did amazing taking care of Bodhi. She was communicative, kind, and easy to work with. We look forward to her helping more in the future.

Kathleen took amazing care of our two pups! She sent photos and updates along the way and was so thorough in getting to know them and their needs prior to the stay. We would 1000% have our girls stay with her again.

A typical day

A typical day looks like a typical day at home! I try not to make any drastic changes in their typical schedule so they are most comfortable with their stay. However, you can ensure many walks will be taken, bones will be chewed, and toys will be played with! I also have a lick mat and a puzzle to encourage brain stimulation which is key for overall health.
