Your doggies home away from home.

Pet care experience

I have loved animals my whole life. My children have a suggested I’m a dog whisperer. I’ve had dog training sessions and can teach basics like walking and healing, stay and sit!! Can administer oral medicines and have senior dog experience. May give gentle oatmeal baths, essential oil lavender spritz and prevention flea and tick baths.

Kathryn assisted us at short notice when someone else cancelled on us. She was flexible and responsive and our puppies had a great time at her doggie haven.

Marshall was taken care of. Kathryn has a great yard and her love of dogs is evident. We would entrust Marshall to her again. Thank you, Kathryn.

I’m so thankful for having had such a great boarding experience for my pup Bode! I hate leaving him behind when I go out of town but I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience for him. Kathryn has a huge backyard with plenty of toys for playtime, not to mention a puppy pool (that she changes the water regularly) to help keep the fun going even when it’s warm out. She went above and beyond to help make sure Bode was well taken care of and I came back to pick up a happy exhausted lab.

Our dog Diamond could not have been better cared for. Kathryn gives her guests VIP treatment in her spacious home that also has a really nice fenced backyard. Her own dogs Queenie and Perly are great hosts, too!

I have lived in my home for almost 30 years, raised 4 children and have always had many animals. My yard is super sized with two extra lots and is fenced in. I’ve never used pesticides or fertilizers or chemicals in my yard. I’m now empty nest and have two dogs who are my most loyal companions. I live near the park and river so walks are always fun and vigorous.
