We will treat your dog like family.

Pet care experience

I am brand new to dog sitting, but not pet sitting! I volunteer with reptile rehabilitation and rescue, and often provide boarding for reptile pets. However, I have been a dog owner for 22 years and absolutely love them. We lost my beloved pittie, Thor, to cancer last year and our other dog is a bit lonely. We also know this isn't the right time for us to bring a new dog into the family. I realized this would be a great opportunity to both help out owners looking for peace of mind and also provide Lobster with an in-house sleepover from time to time!

Kathleen has cared for my bearded dragon many times. I couldn’t be happier with how well she takes care of him. Truly like one of her own! Her love for all animals, furry or scaly, is palpable. She’s knowledgeable, trustworthy, and one of the kindest people I know. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will be treated like one of our family members. Dogs are allowed on furniture and welcome to sleep in our beds. Although we don't have a crate, we'd be happy to set yours up anywhere in our home if you prefer. We have a fenced in yard and there is access to it 24/7. We are available throughout the stay by email, call, or text, and can send photos whenever requested. We are not a home that will provide strict training or lots of discipline. We are a home that will provide your dog with lots of love and snuggles until you return. (Our dog LOVES other dogs, and we ask any dog staying with us to enjoy playing with other dogs as well. It would be a bit too stressful on him otherwise.)
