Reliable and Trustworthy Dog Lover!

I have grown up with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds and know how important it is to be able to leave for vacation or just work and know that your dog is being given the best care possible. I have 4 year old Labrador Retreiver named Bulldozer that we got as a puppy and he is a huge part of our family. This past summer he had ACL surgery. We had to do rehab daily to strengthen his leg again for almost 3 months before he was able to resume normal daily activities like running and playing with my kids and other family members dogs again. I am flexible on visits and walks needed and the size of the dog. Also, I love puppies!

Kathyrn is the best! My dogs absolutely adore her, and she always goes above and beyond when caring for them. I know when I leave my dogs with her, they’re in the best hands and I don’t have to worry about anything. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Dog Walking • Sep 22, 2022

Kathryn was kind and did walk my dog. However, I paid for a 30 minute walk and she did not fulfill that. My puppy does get spooked and possibly ended the walk early, but she still charged for the full 30 minutes. I have a camera in the room with my puppy, and based on the footage from the camera Kathryn exaggerated the time of the walk. I am not sure how the app works from her end, but she started the walks prior to arriving at my house and ended the walk well after leaving my home. While I am appreciative of her service, I do not feel comfortable being charged for a service that was cut short.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to try and follow your daily routine as much as possible so that they feel more at ease and comfortable because being away from their family can be very stressful for many animals. By keeping their routine similar they seem to settle in a lot quicker whether they are being boarded, on a walk, or it’s a drop-in visit.

A typical day

We will play a lot in the backyard and love taking walks to the park. I have 3 boys, Kolten is 16, Braxton is 13, we have a 7 year old named Trey. All 3 are extremely active and love dogs. Our 7 year old absolutely loves running around the backyard with them and has become an our little dog whisperer. Over Christmas our Labrador Retreiver. Buldozer “Dozer” became very sick with cancer and so as of right now we are dogless which was absolutely devastating for all of us. Our boys all love dogs and are great with them and I can promise they will be exhausted and we’ll-taken care of especially from our littlest dog whisperer!
