Pet care experience
Hello!! I have had a dog since I was born and learned to feed and walk them at a young age. I take care of my neighbors dog when she has commitments. My daughter and I take him out for a walk end of the night so she doesn’t have to when she gets home. I’ve house sat on weekends so friends can have a weekend vacation. Also have taken a friends’ dog for walks after school before they get home so the pup can go potty. I work full time Monday through Friday but home by 4:45 everyday. I can can care for your pet in my home starting Friday nights to Sundays for your weekend get aways. I also can do a drop in visit and take your pet for walks and play for a bit if you have to work late or convenience. My daughter and I would cuddle, play and love your pet. We play outside and go for walks a lot. With permission we go to the dog park to run off energy or play with friends of mine’s dogs. Jumping on the couch is never an issue. I prefer to them to get comfortable on couch pillows as if it’s his/her home. The less stress/anxiety on your pet the better. Your pet will never wait in the morning to go outside potty as 5:30am is typically sleeping in for me. My daughter loves to do tricks or even try to teach new ones.
Reviews
Kathy took very good care of our cockapoo Frances. Frances is very shy around strangers but adjusted quickly to Kathy and her daughter. Kathy sent a note and pictures to show us how she was doing. We will certainly use her again.
Kathy was outstanding and very accommodating of our pooch.
Kathy did a great job for us and was very experienced with cats!
Kathy was just great with our Wicket. She has a great understanding of dogs and all the little quirks they can have. She sent videos and photos that helped me relax and forget about the dog while we were gone. I will be very comfortable leaving Wicket with Kathy again!!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When your pet is in my care I like to have all of my errands finished that way we have constant interaction, opportunities to snuggle/play and go for walks. The more time I have with your pet I hope the more comfortable they feel. Your pet already misses their human and wouldn’t want to leave them alone. I can board up to 2 dogs per family at a time but wouldn’t take on any more to avoid possible temperaments or jealousy. When going for walks I have your pup on a leash at all times. I have a family environment home so your family pup will always have attention. I like to send a few pictures and videos each day to let you know he/she is safe and having a good time.

Information Kathy B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your pet is comfortable with kids as my daughter is with me all the time besides work and school. I prefer if your pet is crate trained that way I can step out for an hour indoor soccer game on Saturdays. If with permission I’d like to take your pup to my daughter’s outdoor soccer games when weather is warm. I am also interested in what scares them, their walk routines, how they go to sleep at night and food schedule. Do they have anxiety when left alone? Must be potty trained. Like to make their stay go as smooth like they never left home.
A typical day
We would take your pet for long walks to enjoy all the different smells, Mother Nature and of course, go potty. I walk laps outside to get your dog exercise, as well as me. We do a lot of tricks and rewards with treats.I live close to a dog park and if it’s okay with you (would ask for permission first) we may take a visit.

Availability
I work full time during the week. I am available for drop ins and dog walks during the week after 4:15. Starting Friday night by 4:30 I’m available for boarding and house sitting. On this Rover platform it is set to weekends only for boarding but if you have a cat that needs a long stay that is totally fine and would be happy to do that. When I board an animal I try to be home as much as possible or make it a day event for a walk in the trails (with a leash of course), or play with friends of mines pets.
