I will show your animal affection & lots of play time & snuggling if they enjoy that. I've never met a dog that hasn't liked me....big or small.

Information Kathy G. would like to know about your pet

If the dog is a puppy how well are they house trained? If you have a senior dog are there any health concerns? Does your pet take any medication or supplements that I need to administer? Does your dog have anxiety & can't be left alone for any amount of time?

A typical day

I like to keep your fur babies surroundings and schedule as close to their normal schedule/routine. The dogs will have plenty of outside play time & lots of attention.

Pets

Love having snuggle buddies

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover & owner my entire life. I've always had a dog along with the occasional hamster, cat, guinea pig, lizard, hermit crab, rabbit, bird & fish. I love animals especially dogs. I am very comfortable with large breed dogs as well as smaller dogs too. I like to think the bigger the dog the more loves & cuddles you get.🥰 I've volunteered for rescues over the past 10 years & have fostered both dogs & cats. I'm very excited to meet new animals and their owners. I currently have 1 dog & 3 cats.

Kathy G was awesome with our pups while we were gone. She sent updates, pictures and more every day which really kept us from worrying about our fur babies! She also left us a clean house and kept up on the dog items that needed washing. We will definitely call Kathy G again!

Kathy house sat for me for a week while I was on vacation. She took care of my 3 yr old Hound mix Maui, who is a rescue and usually takes a while to warm up to strangers. By the end of the first day Kathy had won him over, and they soon became best buddies. She sent me updates and pictures several times a day, and it was so comforting knowing Maui was happy, safe and well taken care of. Kathy gave him plenty of attention, and also took good care of my home while I was gone. I absolutely will book her again in the future.

Kathy did a great job with my disabled 3 yo American Bully. He took to her right away and didn’t mind her putting on his harness and putting him in his quad wheelchair/cart. She also cleaned his area and a space nearby and took out the garbage, going above and beyond! I’m definitely booking her again and again!
