Kathy's Lakeway Vacay
Pet care experience
Considered the 'dog whisperer' among my friends and family, most dogs warm up to me regardless of their breed. I'm a commanding, yet calming presence for them during uncertain situations, whether it's being in my home for the first time, meeting another animal, clipping their nails, bathing them, administering medication or ensuring good daily dental hygiene. Much of my life has been about animals, dogs in particular. I'm in tune with them and their needs and can give them an outlet for their energy, as well as the necessary attention. I can often be seen riding my bike with a dog, walking them or playing fetch with them along the green belt just behind me (none of which I would do without your consent). Inside play time involves more structure, as I'm into training good indoor behaviors. I believe that a dog should be able to lead a dogs' life and not compete with humans. Therefore, they are not allowed on furniture or to demonstrate other mischievous conduct. I provide a controlled, yet relaxed environment that promotes good behavior while they're on their vacay. ***Weight restrictions only apply to boarding overnight in my home***

Kathy is absolutely amazing! She kept our little toy poodle, Phoebe over Labor Day weekend and we are so happy to have found her to care for our baby! Kathy and her lil dog Minnie (who is a great assistant and hostess!) met with us before the weekend to make sure it was a good fit and to familiarize Phoebe (and us) with where she would be staying so drop-off day would go well and stress free. Kathy is so nice, professional, very thorough, great with dogs ...and wants to make sure all visitors have a great experience in her care! She has a beautiful home and yard/greenbelt area for guests! Our lil Phoebe is still young and had only been boarded one other time at an actual boarding facility...which proved to be very stressful for her. After meeting Kathy, we knew Phoebe would have a blast while we were away! Kathy kept in touch letting us know how she was doing and sent great pictures each day that showed Phoebe calmly settled in as well as fetching, playing and resting well after her walks! Kathy is also great at training and reinforcing good behavior and commands. Phoebe is a ball of energy, and while we have been working hard training her, she came home calmer and better behaved and listening to us more than ever!! We feel so blessed to know that Phoebe has a great loving and structured 'home away from home' when we are away! We will be using Kathy every time possible in the future, praying she has an opening!!
Our dog, Teddy, stayed with Kathy for 6 days/5 nights. Kathy is a caring, kind individual who loved our dog and played numerous times with him. Kathy calmed and comforted Teddy when he was concerned about the new environment. Kathy's home is particularly good for smaller dogs because Kathy has a sweet, smaller dog who loves the company of other dogs. I highly recommend you meet with Kathy. I am very picky about who Teddy stays with. I felt comfortable the entire time and appreciated the darling pictures Kathy sent us. I would not hesitate to have Teddy stay with Kathy again.
Our little Yorkie loved her 2 nights with Kathy! We a have already booked another stay.
We will have no hesitations booking our little Bean with Kathy again! She was absolutely superb! From the daily updates and pics, I could tell our Bean was genuinely happy and in very caring hands. Side note... Bean is a rescue chi mix, who is extremely submissive and scared, so we were worried about leaving her. As soon as we walked into the door that first time, Bean took to Kathy and her resident furry. We were also headed overseas, so this was such a relief! Kathy is wonderful!
