Pet care experience
Berkshires #1 Trusted Pet Sitter 🐶
I live in a beautiful country setting in Becket, MA. I have 9 acres of woods on a secluded private dirt road. It is doggy heaven here! 1 acre is fully fenced in. Dogs are free to have use of the whole house. They have access to couches, dogs beds or the big king size human bed. I call this luxurious boarding! 😃 I am home full time which can bring ease and a sense of peace to dogs and their owners. I always have dogs here which, in my experience, helps new dogs to adjust quickly in a new setting. I keep dogs stimulated with outdoor time, daily walks or hikes, interactive toys, treats, cuddles and love 🩷 I have been dog sitting for 12 years now and have a tremendous amount of experience with all types of dogs. Pure breed, mutts, shelter dogs, special needs, elderly, puppies, shy and more. Every dog is special even with their quirks, just like us humans. I will treat your dogs the way I would want someone to treat mine. I am professional, a good communicator and you will receive written updates with photos of your dogs daily.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kathleen was great with Sadie. She attended to her needs and gave her plenty of adventures. Highly recommended!
Kathleen was so patient with my questions and worries prior to the visit. And when my pup was with her, her photos and videos let me see how happy and safe he was feeling. I wish she were based somewhere that I could use her all of the time, because I have never been so happy with a sitter. Her location is beautiful and perfect for dogs who like to adventure in the woods.
Took great care of my dogs, good communicator and easy pickup/dropoff. Recommend!
Rosie had a great time. The other dogs were super friends and Kathleen is a wonderful dog host!!! Will definitely use her again.
Ruby loved her 3 nights with Kathleen! Communication was great before and during the stay, and we felt really comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands. Thanks for giving Ruby such a fun weekend!
Kathleen was lovely! We are incredibly grateful for the great care our dogs received while we were away. They had the best time. Thank you!!

Schedule
This is my full time job. And I absolutely love it. Surrounding yourself with dogs daily is a dream come true for me. Unlike regular kennels, my doggy daycare / boarding is a home environment and that's what makes dogs happy and cozy when they stay here.

Dogs will follow their own routines so they are as comfortable as possible when you are gone. I very much look forward to meeting you and your pets!

A typical day
I love taking dogs into the woods for a nice long hike. I also love a leashed walk around the neighborhood. I have really great spots. If your dog is not so adventurous, we can stick around happily at home. I also 1 acre fenced in which is great for relaxing in the sun, relaxing in the shade on the porch, playing with other dogs, throwing a ball etc.
