Dogs, cats & horses - oh my!
Pet care experience
I treat your pet as if they are my own with the same kind of care and attention. I tell you what I would like to know about how my pet is doing when I'm away. I send photo updates and emotional (settling in, eating, etc.) updates. I am an animal lover and rescuer. Most of the time, I work at home so I have a flexible schedule to care for pets. I enjoy walking dogs. I am a very cautious dog walker being attentive to any lose dogs. For dog boarding, I provide a loving and safe environment for boarding dogs in my home. My dog Jack loves other dogs. I talk to dogs to get to know them and learn their personality. We have a fenced in yard and I supervise the doggies time in it. If the dog likes to chase a ball, I will play with him/her. Although I know with some Labrador Retrievers (they know who they are) it's not a daily playtime task but a lifetime commitment! I have a lot of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses too. I lived in California for 26 years and cared for several dogs (Bernie and Gracie) for years, as well as cared for cats and horses. I can administer oral medications, injections (insulin) and subcutaneous fluids for cat's failing kidneys. I work at home in the living room so I am with your pet all day. They are never alone and I can pay them special attention. Please be aware that my drop-off time is 8 am and pick-up time is before 6 pm. If a pickup is after 6 pm, an additional $15 will be charged. I have a large fenced-in yard. I always stay in the yard with the dogs or I take them for walks in our quiet neighborhood.
Reviews
My dog was a little nervous at first, but Kathy quickly helped him feel at home, and he was excited to see her the next time he visited! She seems very experienced with dogs and very caring. We're happy to have found her!
Ozzie always enjoys his overnights at Kathy’s.
Happy New Year to the greatest pet sitter imaginable. We are very lucky to have met Kathy and her nice husband, Tom.
Kathy was wonderful from start to finish! They really took great care of our dog!

Information Kathy A. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know their diet, any special needs, what time they like to go out, what time they go to bed and get up in the morning, are they okay with cats (I have 2 indoor cats.) No breed preference but I only take small dogs.
A typical day
Our daytimes are spent outside in the yard or on walks meeting neighbors. At night, dogs can snuggle on the couch with me and watch tv.
