Pet care experience

Safe, loving care- fenced backyard!

I have taken care of dogs for over 50 years. I am a retired RN and have taken care of both people and animals for most of my life. I enjoy dog walking as much as my dog likes to walk. I love to play with dogs and give them love and attention. I have experience with administering dog medication as well training young dogs. I have worked with border collies, Australian cattle dogs, and chihuahuas primarily. I look forward to giving your dog a happy staycation.

Kathy and Steve took great care of our 3 pups for almost 2 weeks. Would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. I know taking care of 3 can be a handful but they did a great job and seemed happy to do it. Our dogs came home happy and well taken care of.

Gidget loved the warm welcome when we left her off for the first time. I received pictures and was able to contact Kathleen at any time which reassured that all was going good. Gidget came home and slept for 2 days after her stay that showed me she loved playing with other dogs Kathleen and Steven where very loving to our dog And I highly recommend their services 🥰

Great experience for Rio with Kathy and Steve. Thank you Kathy and Steve for taking care of Rio while we were away for 4 nights. Kathy has constantly updated us with wellbeing of Rio with latest photos of him. I highly recommend them for your pet sitting/boarding.
