We had such a great experience boarding our boy with Kathleen. From start to finish, she was communicative and made us feel completely at ease. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated, it was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. Kathleen went above and beyond, taking him on plenty of walks and fun adventures. It felt like he was on his own little vacation! When we picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had been very well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kathleen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.

Kathleen provided excellent care of Clara. She was so kind and provided lots of updates and pictures which we loved. She went above and beyond to make sure Clara felt comfortable, happy and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for everything you did an amazing job. We would recommend and will call her again !!

Schedule

I'm currently working remotely from home which gives me flexibility. I do prefer having one dog at a time so that I can give them the quality care they deserve. I’m not able to watch your dog every week on the same days. My schedule can vary, so I may not always be available consistently. I’m happy to help when I can, but I can’t commit to a fixed routine. I look forward to hanging out with your fur baby for lots of belly rubs, playtime, walks and love!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard, however not fenced in. I live at end of a cul-de-sac and there is a lot of woods around my house so it's best if your dog has flea and tick protection. Very quiet neighborhood which is great for walking. I also love taking walks at nearby parks, trails or beaches if they are okay with riding in the car. There are a lot of nice places to walk and play nearby.

A typical day

Long walks, drives to see sunsets, beach, and parks are just a few things we can do. What ever your pet loves to do we can make that happen when you are not available :)
