Pet care experience

We love all pets!

I have taken care of many breeds of dogs. My preference are big fluffy dogs (their tails are more loving when they get excited 😉) but we love them all! I have experience with high energy breeds and am currently raising my second GSD.

Great, friendly family that Piper loved hanging out with. She learned to talk from their German Shepard and now likes to chat with us!

Very responsive, and was great to our 2 puppies! Left the house almost identical to how it was when they arrived to begin watching the dogs.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 26, 2024

Kathy & Brad were great with Ruby. Was nice that she had a place to run and other dog buddies to play around with instead of staying in her kennel. Look forward to using them again.

Kitties always in good condition when I get home, and they even remembered that we give them water from the fridge (because the sink water tastes bad) from watching them almost a year ago! I totally forgot to remind them but they didn’t even need it. So grateful my kitties were in caring hands.

Kathy and Brad were able to do a last minute boarding for my dog Elliot and he had a great time with them!

Schedule

I work full time from home. I usually only leave for camping trips, grocery needs, and taking my kids to practice twice a week. When I am not home, my husband usually is, so animals are rarely left alone.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in backyard, and offer crates if necessary. I have a medium, a large, and an XL dog crate available for use. I have a GSD pup (birthdate 3/1/23) and a mini Aussie (mostly blind and partially deaf), and 3 cats (2 indoor, 1 outdoor). My own dogs are crated overnight, however, I don’t require crating for all pets. All of my animals are fully vaxxed. Cats have full access to food, and I have 2 litter boxes in my home. Cats have full access to our laundry room with beds, food, and litter, dogs have no access to this room. We feed dogs twice a day and walk twice a day. We play fetch mid day and early evening. I can work on any training requests you have. In home sitting may be an option and provided by my husband. I am the default parent, so I am needed overnight with my children.

Pets

A typical day

First thing in the mornings I am usually fussing with the kids and my husband (Brad) lets the dogs out to go potty and run in the yard. We have multiple toys they can play with. After about 20 minutes of free time, they come inside, we feed breakfast, and give food about 30 minutes to digest before going out for a poop break. I run my kids to school (about 15 minutes) and then we head up to the office where I will work for a bit and the dogs can lay around or enjoy a chew toy. We take a 20 minute walk at noon, and at 3:30 we play in the backyard. I go off the dogs and the weather for more time in the yard running and playing or they can relax and play inside. After about 30 minutes of fetch, the kids like to run and play on their play set and trampoline while the dogs can sniff around the yard. Dinner between 6-7 and a 30 minute walk around 8. My schedule will vary depending on the needs of each dog.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Kathy & Brad can host up to 2 pets per night
I am willing to provide injected medication, however, I just need to review with you how you care for your pup. I prefer to keep a dog as comfortable as possible and that includes doing my best to stick to your routine. I am happy to have dogs escort me if I need to run to a store or to my parent’s home.
