My second time leaving Gussy under Kathy’s care. He went on a bike ride, got in the pool and had the time of his life! I feel so incredibly grateful to have met such a great family to watch him while I’m gone. Thank you so much Kathy can’t wait to have you sit gussy again!

Zeus is having the best time with Kathy on his weekly recurring walks. She is reliable and makes sure he is well taken care of when she is with him. I would recommend her services to anyone.

Kathy was amazing! She gave us a tour of her home to make sure we were comfortable leaving Gussy there. She was the kindest as well as her husband. Definitely recommend

Kathy has been my trusted friend to take care of my dogs for over 10 years. She cares for them like they are her own. I feel at ease knowing that my dogs are being cared for and having fun when I am on vacation. She loves all animals and you can see she enjoys spending time with them. If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur baby or just to get them out for exercise I recommend Kat. ❤️
I have know Kathy for over 25 years and she has taken care of my family pets for years. Taking care of pets is such a perfect fit for her patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Anyone who trusts her with their pets can feel confident knowing they’ll be cared for like family, with attention, kindness, and plenty of affection. She has a natural way of connecting with animals, and that’s something you can’t teach which sets her apart from others.
My wife Kat is the most loving and dedicated dog mom I’ve ever seen. She treats our two dogs, Bobby and Bailey, like they’re our children—and honestly, they are. Bobby, our sweet little Maltese, and Bailey, our energetic Maltese-Havanese mix, have the best life because of Kat. She pours so much love and care into them every single day. From early morning cuddles and belly rubs to making sure they eat the healthiest food, get their exercise, and have fresh water at all times, nothing is overlooked. Kat has an incredible way with dogs. They light up the moment she walks into the room. She knows exactly what they need—whether it’s gentle grooming sessions (Bobby’s fluffy white coat always looks perfect), playtime in the yard, or quiet snuggle time on the couch when they’re tired. She’s patient, attentive, and endlessly affectionate. Watching her care for Bobby and Bailey has shown me what real devotion looks like. They’re not just pets to her; they’re family. She worries about them when they’re not feeling well, celebrates their little quirks, and makes sure every day is filled with love and joy. I’m so grateful Kat is the heart of our home and the best dog mom to our “kids.” Bobby and Bailey are truly lucky to have her—and so am I.
