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.

Kathy is truly exceptional. Her genuine passion for animals and dedication to their well-being is evident from the moment you meet her. I had complete peace of mind while I was away. The icing on the cake was seeing, through the photo updates, how well Buddy bonded with Cooper, her own dog. If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your furry friend like family, look no further. I will undoubtedly be entrusting her with Buddy’s care in the future, knowing that he'll be in the best of hands.

Kathi is wonderful with Dobby! Kathi’s dog Cooper is a gentle sweet dog and it is clear that Dobby was very much at ease with both Kathi and Cooper. Dobby can be shy/anxious so this really shows what a warm welcoming environment that Kathi creates.

Kathleen was very friendly and helpful. Coco was only with Kathleen for 1 night yet she provided me with updates and pictures without me requesting. I am definitely asking for Kathleen the next time we need a dogsitter.

I treat any pet in our home as if it is our own. The dogs I’ve cared for in our feel comfortable because of the interaction between my husband, my son, and myself. We thoroughly enjoy dogs in our home and so does Cooper, our 5 year old dog.

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.
