Availability
I do have a part-time job. January to June is our busy season, so I work a variety of hours but after June it’s mostly evening hours. It is hard to keep the calendar on Rover up-to-date because I may not be available in the morning and afternoon, but I am in the evening or vice versa. Please just be sure to check with me and I can let you know my schedule and I will get back to you as quickly as I can. I can be available on pretty short notice at times. For daycare and boarding clients-I just signed up for the service on June 19 2024 so I may not have many reviews for these two services. For both services I will only be taking one family at a time so your dog(s) will be getting my full attention. (Which is why my rates are higher). I can only take dogs that will stay in a kennel if I need to run out and do a drop in or a dog walk for other clients or if I have to work a shift at my other part-time job which usually is no more than four hours ( I would let you know at the time of booking). I also need the dogs to be able to sleep in a kennel overnight. I have a good size fenced in backyard, which I have posted pictures of. I can only take smaller dogs… unfortunately Rover’s requirement categories go by weight rather than size . If I do book a stay with your dog(s) for daycare or boarding, I would be sure to not accept any other bookings during that time unless it was already on my calendar. I like to give as much time to the pets as possible.

About Kathy D.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I would love to take your dogs for walks, but am also fine with keeping them home and playing in the yard if preferred. I am fine with cats laying on my lap and would be willing to brush them if desired. I have a high gross tolerance, so am fine with cleaning litter boxes, cleaning up vomit, picking up waste in yard. etc... I also have experience with a cat & dog that had diabetes and needed insulin shots.

Information Kathy D. would like to know about your pet
When we talk I'll find out from you your pet's favorite activities as well as how long of a walk your pet can tolerate. I will not be walking any other animals but yours. I'll need to know how your pet is with others, although when out for a walk I'd prefer to avoid other people's pets since I would not be familiar at first with your pet's personality...by this I mean that I would not encourage other people's dogs to come over and say "hi" to your pet, unless of course we had talked about certain neighborhood pets that your animal(s) is familiar with.
A typical day
I will take your dog for a walk near your neighborhood and/or play in the yard. I enjoy walking anywhere, parks, neighborhood streets, hiking trails, etc....If your pet has a favorite toy I would love to play with him/her. As stated earlier if it is a boarding or daycare situation in my home, I will be home as much as possible during your pet’s stay.

Loving care while you're away
Pet care experience
I am hoping to help others while they are away at a reasonable rate since I realize how important it is to have trusted care. I said goodbye to my rescue dog in March 2022 when she was a couple months shy of 14yrs old. I have made the decision not to get another dog, but would enjoy to give the love and compassion I still have to your animal whether it be young or old. I have also had cats in my home for 30+ years…..my current cat will be 13 in July 2025.
Reviews
We will always recommend Kathy!
Kathy is always the best! We have booked with her a few times now and always feel so comforted knowing she’s taking care of our cats. She also sends the best updates and pictures!
Have used Kathy many times. She always does great with our shy boys.
Kathy did an excellent job taking care of our cat and sending us notes and pictures.
