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.

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 accepted my last minute boarding request and took excellent care of my dog. She provided lots of updates that showed how happy Karl was during his stay. I would definitely recommend her!!

Amazing dog sitter, Kathleen! She really understands how to meet and great your dogs with her dogs and others. Definitely a dog whisperer no joke. Has a great safe yard, take them for walks and just overall comfortable atmosphere. Will recommend Kathleen any time 24/7 for your cool dogs.

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.

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.

Kathleen can host up to 6 pets per night
1. Your pets must have flea and tick protection. 2: YOUR PETS MUST BE 100% POTTY TRAINED. If your dog tends to mark their territory inside new homes - please do not board them in my home. My home is very clean and I like to keep it that way for humans and all dogs coming and going.
