Information Kathleen V. would like to know about your pet

Specific directions, such as, how long to walk, water intake, amount of food to feed the dog, any special needs that require attention, startled by other animals, etc…

A typical day

My priority when walking or sitting a dog, is taking the advice of the owner. The dog parents know their pets the best. If they leave the activities up to me, I will make sure the dog gets tons of attention and exercise.

Pets

Your Dog, My Passion 🐶

Pet care experience

Hi everyone, I’ve owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. I would consider it a privilege to take care of yours!!! Thank You I’ve been a school teacher for 30 years. I’m retiring in the next couple of years. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my life by fulfilling another passion of mine, taking care of dogs. I’ve always loved dogs. I will give love and attention to your dog as if your dog were my own. My life would not be complete without a dog. I’m fully available to walk your dog and drop-in sitting at your house. I’m a school teacher, off for the summer and on Sabbatical for the next school year. Safety, love, and attention for others pets are my top priorities. I think about how I would want my precious Cooper cared for by others, therefore, your dog will receive my full attention.

Great stay...great care...great second family for my dogs. Kathi and her family are amazing and give to our dogs the love and care they need when we go away. Buddy and Teddy cannot run into the door quick enough when we arrive.

Kathi and her family are incredible. I’m pretty sure our dogs look forward to their stays there more than we look forward to our vacations!
