Flexible Schedule, Love Walking!

I’ve been a dog lover my whole life, and am happy now to have the opportunity to bring happiness to pups all over my community! There’s just nothing like the smile on a dog’s face when they know that they’re in good hands. I love being able to make dogs happy and give back to my community by providing owners with peace of mind too. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your pooch, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible! One of the best things about me is that I have a very flexible schedule. I’m a realtor, and that allows me to spend as much time with pups as they need! Being that my schedule is flexible, I’m happy to work around unorthodox schedules and make sure that your pup has all the love that they need. I’m able to dip in and out of home if necessary and make sure they have everything they need to thrive. Scheduling is just not a problem at all! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I believe that excellent communication is what makes every booking great! I love to get as much information about you and your pup before the stay even begins, and will always be very up front with checking in with you when your pup is with me. I am happy to take detailed notes on everything from meal prep to exercise times, and provide lots of great photo evidence to back it up! No matter what, you’ll always know what your pup and I have been doing together. I’m very easy to reach, so never hesitate to reach out for any questions!

Doggy Day Care • Mar 20, 2026

Kathy is the best. She takes very good care of our Abbie and we have no concerns when she is in Kathy's care. We appreciate how flexible Kathy is with scheduling. Abbie just loves staying with her.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 12, 2025

This is our third time having our dog Abbie stay with Kathy during our stay in Arizona for baseball's Spring Training. Abbie loves going to Kathy's house. We rest assured that she is well taken care of and is given all the attention she needs (which is a lot) during her stay with Kathy. Thanks Kathy...see you next year!

Kathy did an amazing job watching my two pups! She updated us throughout each day we were gone with texts, photos, and videos. You can tell that she truly cares about hers and others fur babies. I felt completely at ease while my dogs were with her while I was out of town. 100% will be using her services again and in the future and I recommend that others should too!! I honestly think my dogs want to go back and play in her backyard again!

I couldn''t have asked for a better person to take care of my dogs. Kathy was SO amazing updating each day with photos and messaging constantly. She made my mother and I very comfortable when meeting and drop off. When leaving she distracted the dogs so they would cry or be sad. All the photos showed the dogs so happy! I already booked her again due to how amazing she was.

A typical day

There is so much great stuff to do in my neighborhood! From exploring all sorts of different parks and play spaces to taking a dip in my pool, we’ll have lots of fun getting out and about. I like to maintain an active lifestyle, so your pup will be right at home with me if they like to get lots of exercise. I’m available all day to make sure your pup gets the breaks and exercise they need, so going for nice runs and burning some energy is always on the menu!

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
