Information Kathleen G. would like to know about your pet

I have 2 small dogs, one just turned 17! He’s slow and can’t really see so he basically sleeps all day. But when he hears noises in the kitchen, he runs like the wind so he doesn’t miss any food.

A typical day

Upon waking up, my pups run to the back door to use the restroom. If it’s a nice day, we go out for a bit so they can do their business and sniff around. Next it breakfast time. Each dog is very particular about how they eat, so I usually sit with them to make sure everyone eats their own meal and nothing more. Then, it’s meds and clean up time. I work from home, so I am flexible. I typically take the dogs out every 2-4 hours. I end my day with a walk around the block. Dinner is just like breakfast, including medicine. When bedtime hits, they chose their bed or mine!

Kathleen was exceptional! Communicated early and often and was very accommodating and flexible. She definitely knows her dogs and has a lot of experience caring for all types of breeds and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Will absolutely use her as my “go to” from now on!

Kat took amazing care of our Axel for the holiday weekend! She was super sweet, kind, accommodate us last minute, and actually cared to know his routine and what works for him. She kept me updated all throughout his stay! I felt safe knowing Axel was with her. 10/10, we’ll definitely be booking again!
