Information Kathleen H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, I want them to feel safe and happy here with us. Happy to do what they need to make sure they have a healthy visit. .

A typical day

I try and make sure the pups eat and get some fresh air / exercise very first thing in the morning. I’m usually up early so this works great. I do the same in the afternoon, and have lots of safe dog toys around. On rainy days I hide treats and have them do some nose work to tire them out…

Pet care experience

I’ve always had pets. Cats, dogs, gecko, frogs! :-) We have two dogs of our own. They are great with other dogs. Super dog friendly home.

Poe had a great time with Kathleen! He got a lot of love, walks, and goodies. Her dogs are so sweet and got along with our dog really well. Kathleen was responsive and took the time to show us where Poe would be playing. We felt really comfortable knowing Poe would be taken care of and comfortable while we were away.

Once you meet Kat and Darin, you’ll feel like they were your favorite neighbor or family member to watch your dog! I have an active 6month old puppy and they (and their 4 year old dog, Ringo) took the best care of her… especially over the holidays! They have a big and safe back yard where the dogs can really play and tire themselves out. They took the dogs on an hike and were so communicative with pictures when I was so far away. I’m so glad to have found them and will use them over and over when I need to travel. If I could give a 10 star review, I would, but more importantly, my dog would too!

Kat and her dogs are great! Boo had a wonderful time and came home very tired from playing all day.
