Safety, trust & environment

Since my two sweet pups traveled over the rainbow bridge, I have found joy in caring for pups of other families. While I miss my own, I adore the company of dogs and have found this experience absolutely perfect for my life. I have a big fenced yard if you need boarding services. I am extremely caring, respectful and have oodles of references to let you know you are hiring the best of care for your furry loved ones.

Information Kathy E. would like to know about your pet

Anything special to keep your pet happy & secure is what I’ll need to know. Health issues, separation issues, times of day to feast and sleep. All good to know to keep them feeling good about Mom/Dad being away.

A typical day

A typical day is getting out for a nice walk/hike/swim and or run (if a dog is able and enjoys these activities) in the morning, some snooze time afterwards, then one-on-one time at home time through out the day. Another walk/hike/swim and or run or walk along one of the many fantastic trails in town or dirt trails around the area. Socialization with others on the trail if all animals are friendly.

Kathy was so responsive during our 2 dogs boarding in her home. They came home so tired so I know they had the best time with her. She made us feel at ease during our travels and we will definitely use her services again!

We have boarded our 2 dogs with Kathy several times. They are very well loved and cared for each time. So nice to know my girls are comfortable and safe while we are far away! Will definitely continue to use Kathy in the future!

Kathy was phenomenal with Hulk!! She was thorough, careful, and so compassionate! We knew that he was in great hands with her and that she cared about his health and well-being. Her communication was fabulous and she truly went above and beyond to help Hulk and help us! She helped in an incredibly crucial time, and his time with her, has changed his life forever!💕🙏

Kathy is absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our 2 girls for our 6 night boarding stay. We loved getting pictures and videos of them during the trip to see just how comfortable they were and how much fun they were having!
