Fan of Senior Dogs!

I have a special interest in senior dogs. I have a 17 year old dachshund mix and a 12 year old dachshund. I have adopted hospice dogs and have been a hospice foster. I have experience as a dog foster for rescues in the Twin Cities and am also a volunteer at Animal Humane Society. I work from home and am here most of the time. No problem administering meds, including injections.

Kathryn’s family and home were perfect for my older pup. She kept me updated with messages and photos which put me at ease while out of town. Already booked another visit!

Katheryn took great care of Jedi for us and was very accommodating for drop off and pick up. He seemed very happy in her home. She sent many cute pictures of Jedi. I won't hesitate to use Kathryn again.

Kathryn was extremely nice and easy to work with. She responded promptly and was very accommodating. Loki had a great time with her, and we would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with her again.

Kathryn is a pro! She is all things to dogs, including fostering, hospice and geriatric. She also has two adorable children who are very good with dogs.

Used Kathryn for a two week trip on a 6 year old doggie. The dog had plenty of room to run, was well taken care of. Would 100% use her again for my future trips !

Schedule

I work full time from home, so I am almost always here to tend to the dogs. Caring for my own two dogs is an important part of my life and I make sure I’m always meeting their needs. I have two children who live with me 50% of the time. They are 9 and 4 and have lived with small, senior dogs their entire lives. They are very respectful of dogs and I never leave the kids with the dogs unsupervised. I’m very vigilant about how my kids interact with dogs.

Pets

A typical day

My dogs are pretty old, so they like to sleep and snuggle most of the time. I’m happy to do whatever your dog likes to do! I have a fenced in yard that my dogs love to explore. I will walk your dog as requested and we love to play with toys inside and outside.

Let me know if your dog has a specific schedule to be followed - feeding time/walks/etc. I’ll want to know how much food you feed and at what times. Whether or not you free feed. My home has stairs, please let me know if your dog has any issues with stairs. I’m able to carry smaller dogs up and down the stairs.
