Comfy Canine Care

Pet care experience

Hello. Call me Kathy. I love all animals especially dogs and I have raised and cared for many over the years. I enjoy having other dogs in my home so that my own Teddy can socialize and make new friends. I have lots of time for long walks or lazy snoozes on the couch with my pooches. I love all breeds and most of my friends have a furry family member. When they go away they depend on me to care for their precious pets because they trust me and they know I will love and care for their pets just like I do my own. I am dependable and reliable and enjoy having fun with the dogs and teaching them new tricks. I live in an apartment but the property has lots of places to walk and run including a large, fenced-in dog park where the pups can run and play leash-less and carefree. This is a great opportunity for the dogs to meet and greet other pets in the area and just have fun together. Plenty of water is made available for the pooches as well as balls and toys. So, if you are looking for a place to leave your precious friend when you go away, trust Comfy Canine Care to give your pets the love and “at home” experience that you want them to have. So, reserve a spot for your furry friend today at Comfy Canine Care.

My dog is spoiled, but l think Kathleen spoiled him more. She sent pictures and updates to me almost everyday. He looked happy and content. Will bring him back to Kathleen if in need to go away again. Very pleased with everything

Kathleen was great and very compassionate with my elderly dog. I felt confident she was safe and well cared for with Kathleen.

Thank you so much for taking care of M! It was her first time boarding, and she was surprisingly calm. I really appreciate you walking her and showing her love.
