Pet care experience

I can’t wait to love your pet!

Hello!! I am an animal lover, who has been caring for and rescuing dogs most of my life. I recently lost my senior dog, and for the first time ever I do not have any pets of my own in my home. I have a large fenced in backyard that can be accessed via a doggie door. I have experience with dogs requiring medication and dogs with vision and hearing deficits. 🫶🏼 your pet will be treated like family, and receive loving attention, supervision, and affection. Happy to provide photos & updates as desired I will follow your pets routine and dietary requirements.

Kathleen was wonderful. Blue and Fletch loved their stay with her. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout! She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared for Blue & Fletch and paid attention to all the little details.

My dog had a marvelous time. He was treated well, entertained thoroughly, and loved on so much. He was very upset when I picked him up to go home:D Thank you and see you soon!

Kathleen was amazing. She accepted our request on short notice and took great care of our dog, Yogi, for two days. From the start, she was calm, responsive, and clearly experienced. Yogi warmed up to her immediately, which gave us instant confidence. She sent regular updates and photos, and it was obvious Yogi was happy and comfortable the entire time. Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring—we would absolutely book with her again, even for longer trips.

Foley Loves Kathleen and her fab back yard! So much to explore and sniff. I can trust that Foley is well taken care of when I drop her off.

Schedule

I am available for boarding on weekends, and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Whether you have an older pet that likes a quiet relaxing weekend or a young, active pet that enjoys runs walks and play dates. I have flexibility to accommodate these preferences. I work some weekdays, so have limited availability during those times, just ask.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize the comfort of my furry guests, and will customize a schedule and environment according to their needs. If your dog requires individual time and does not get along with other dogs, then that will be arranged. If you have a dog that loves to socialize, then play dates can be scheduled.

A typical day

Depending upon the dogs personality, we will have enrichment activities, exercise, and lots of attention and affection. Going on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, chase… I enjoy spending time outside with pets that like exercise, sunshine, and rolling in grass.

I will get to know your pets routine and preferences, and plan our time accordingly. Some pets enjoy high levels of activity, lots of outdoor time and movement, while others prefer a quieter, more relaxing environment, and I will accommodate accordingly.
