His or her normal daily activities, feeding schedule, etc. If there is anything I need to know as far as fear or aggression towards people, other dogs or even motorcycles while walking/leashed, please let me know.

We stay on the sidewalk in our neighborhood during the summer, but during the cooler months, we walk on any of the many trails near our home, which the dogs love. We walk twice daily up to 5 miles per day.

Pet care experience

Our home is dog-friendly and a safe environment. We walk at least twice daily on the local trails near our house. Baxter loves all dogs small and large. Our backyard has artificial grass which helps keep your dog safe and clean. About Kathleen, Steve, Baxter! We offer meticulous and constant care for your dog; We treat your dog as though they were our own while they are in our care. Your dog will experience daily walks with Baxter and our attentive, watchful care. We have a three-bedroom two-story home. You are welcome to bring their favorite bedding and personal food items. Our goal is for you to enjoy your time away and for your pet to have their own vacation! References: we have plenty available, all you have to do is ask. We look forward to serving you and your family!

Kathleen is great with our dog. We have used her twice, and I would trust her again. Thank you, Kathleen.

Figgy had a great stay at Kathleen’s house. She made the drop off and pick up processes seamless and took excellent care of Figgy with daily walks and attention to the care notes I provided. I felt figgy was in good hands from the time we dropped her off and it made me feel good about leaving her in someone else’s care.
