More than just quality care
Pet care experience
Individualized, attentive, trustworthy care. 35+ years experience of quality dog ownership, also kitties. Personal walks along the lake drive a block away (good weather), at Duck Pond or in a quiet neighborhood otherwise. Guests usually accompany us on car outings if enjoyable for them. Individual attention with (usually) maximum of 2 visitors, unless same family (may add 1 if able). Interesting, fully fenced native plant yard. Our typical walks are 1.6 mi, more or less depending on your request, pet's comfort, bad weather, We have a calm, quiet environment, so if your pet enjoys lots of stimulation and chasing others, a better fit would be a Rover provider home where there are several obliging friends around, and continual activity. My guests do receive much personal attention and interaction; return guests always show their owners they are very happy to return. Excellent ball/toy throwing skills (owner, :-), attention to special needs/requests, Lots of care to become comfortable. I am also an RN and open to special needs of visitors. I do not typically crate. Daily updates My guests may often enjoy a brush, comb or Furminator session. Please note- I cannot accept very large dogs (usually over 45#) or those whose leash manners are not reliable. If they pull and choke I will try walking with a harness (yours), Puppies, young dogs must be reliably housebroken or owner be willing to provide belly bands. ( What happens at home is often a whole new thing in a different environment). We don't use digestible chew sticks/bones due to concerns for choking/swallowing and potential for obstruction. My main goal is to provide a safe, happy visit so owners can truly enjoy their own "away vacay."
Reviews
Kathleen is a kind and conscientious pet care giver. We've been using her for several years. When we take Henry to stay with her he just walks right into her home.
Kathleen was very kind and sweet. She was very flexible and easy to work with I would leave my dog with her again anytime. We were at a wedding at Lake Lawn Resort which was nearby and it worked out great to have such a good care for my dog nearby for the wedding and reception.
My dogs visit with Kathleen felt very thorough. They better delicious home cooked food and got lots of exercise. I felt safe leaving my dogs with her. I would do it again if I had the opportunity.
Ollie loved his stay with Kathleen. After she dropped him off he kept looking out the window for her. So sweet!
