Overnite boarding minimum of 1 dog** REPEATERS and small dogs are welcomed at any time, and will be happy to meet new guests for future dates. Caring for young pups, adult dogs, and some seniors ages 8+. I can make house visits for birds, cats, bunnies and other small animals or reptiles. I do not cover the city of White Plains, NY unless a private house for parking privileges. Car service, clean license, available to make any vet appointments or transport to home and back. Fenced in yard. If your dog is over-sized, the price could range to $60. Small to Toy-dogs are standard rate. Your pup will become part of the family. I normally do not book any more than 1 at a time. All dogs must have Bordetella vaccine, rabies and be treated with heartworm and flea protection as recommended by vet. A quick brush out or grooming is appreciated beforehand, although any grooming needs are extra before pick-up if requested. Thank you, and I hope to be of service to you.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and do not let your pet out unsupervised. After a day on long-leash and I am sure about their recall, the long leash is no longer needed and free to play.

Kathleen was very friendly, knowledgable, and thorough with coordination to walk Chunk. We will definitely ask her to walk Chunk again.

Kathleen took great care of Huck. Since it was his first stay with Kathleen, I was a bit nervous but he came back happy. Looks like he had a great time playing with the other pups.

First time with Kathleen. She's terrific. Our dog, Harley, had a great time. Kathleen sends lots of pics/vids every morning which are a really nice touch. You can tell that Kathleen loves taking care of dogs and shows great care with them. Will definitely use again.
