Information Kathy B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog is good around other dogs and children. How do you walk your dog on a long or shorter leash? Do they like to play with toys, balls other dogs? Is there special treats you give them? Do they run away or stay close to you?

A typical day

I love to take walks with dogs and let them explore. I love to play with them in the backyard and give them various toys to play with. I love to walk in the neighborhood or on nature trails. If your dog likes long walks, I am ready to give him or her an exciting time.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I am a school psychologist and very in tune with animals and people and have a passion for taking care of others, especially dogs. I believe dogs truly make a house a home. I am off for the summer so have all day to take care of your pet. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and would love to spend my summer with your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard. I have three teenage pet lovers who will also shower your dog with attention. I enjoy walking your dog if that is something your pet likes to do. I have a safe neighborhood with trails nearby. I will always be interested in your pet's personality. For example how they get along with other dogs and humans and I will always have their best interest in mind.

Kathy and her family were wonderful. My dog loved staying with them while I was on vacation. She took great care to make sure my dog got his medicines on a daily basis.

OUTSTANDING! Tootie had a wonderful time! Kathy sent pictures with funny comments. That should me Tootie was having a great time. That's important to me. Kathy was very thorough with the detailed care instructions. She asked questions for clarity. If you are in the Chicago area, please choose Kathy.

Kathy and her family were wonderful and treated my dog great! I’ve never boarded my dog before. I love that she only takes one dog at a time and her whole family is loving on him while we were gone. She took him for walks, had a large fenced in yard and truly cares about the dogs she takes in. My dog had free range in the house. She kept me informed as to how he was doing and sent me pictures. ❤️❤️❤️
