Kind & Patient Animal Lover 🐾

I’m a huge animal lover that is very calm, patient, and will give your pets so much love and affection. I currently have a 16-year old shiba inu named Chibi, who is partially blind and deaf. He is super smart (if you look up "Shiba Inu Tricks" posted by user kathydnguyen on youtube, you will see some of his tricks) but has slowed down a lot and become a sweet but grumpy senior pup. I’ve also had other dogs, cats, and chickens in the past. If you have a puppy, I might be able to teach it a few tricks as well :) I believe in positive reinforcement. I’m experienced in all stages of life, from puppies with rambunctious energy to senior pets who might need a little extra help. I’m comfortable administering medication and being on a strict schedule, to keep everything as normal and consistent for your pet as possible.

Drop-In Visits • Mar 22, 2026

We booked Kathy for three drop‑in visits over two days, and she was absolutely wonderful. Her updates were detailed, thoughtful, and reassuring, and she sent multiple photos each visit so we always knew how our dogs were doing. She truly went above and beyond — not just in caring for our pups, but also in being attentive and respectful of our home. It’s clear she takes pride in what she does, and our dogs were so comfortable with her. We’re grateful for the care she provided and would happily book with her again in the future.

Dog Walking • Dec 19, 2025

Kathy was amazing!! We did an initial zoom meeting to make sure it would be the right fit for our pups. She was consistently communicative and attentive throughout the entire service. She provided timely updates, photos, and clear notes after each walk, which showed strong professionalism and care. She took excellent care of two Shibas, Topher and Ryo. She paid close attention to their pace, behavior, and safety during walks. She followed their routines and handled them with patience and confidence. Both dogs always returned calm, happy, and well cared for. She is reliable, trustworthy, and professional. Highly recommended and would book again
