Walks and love at our fenced home
Pet care experience
I am 61 years old and have been sitting with dogs for the last 5 years. Our house is truly managed to please our own dog and her play-date mates. We have one 20 pound very friendly female dog that rescued us and changed our lives for the better. On most days there is at least one other dog here for a play date. We take safety and fun for all dogs as high priorities in our home. Our home has a very nice-sized back yard that has a tall brick fence and double locked gate We have pet barrier gates near our front door, which has a locked screened door as well (used when we have four-pawed guests in our home). Depending on our guests' and their humans' preferences, we generally take two walks a day at our local park or in our neighborhood and often take a ride in the car if it is too hot to walk. We take outings to PetCo and PetSmart when approved by our guests' humans. Dogs are always on leash for any walk or outing. Dogs are never alone in our home. There are two adults in this home that are home throughout the day. If one of us leaves for a moment, the other stays. Our dog has NEVER been left alone and we won't let your dog be left alone either! Our house is filled with safe dog toys that my dog likes to share with her new friends. And most importantly a dog will be loved on throughout their stay with us. If they need their tummy or ears rubbed, we got it! If they need to sleep in bed with us - GREAT! The more the merrier! There is plenty of attention and TLC for your beloved Furbaby in our home. We take no more than two dogs (and must be from the same family) at one time. So at any given time there is no more than three dogs (including my own) in our home.
Reviews
Kathy
Kathy was a wonderful sitter for our dog! We were nervous leaving our dog, Bailey, for the first time. Kathy was great—friendly, conscientious and patient. Our in laws picked up Bailey for us and said Bailey was happy and clearly had had a good time. We would definitely recommend Kathy and use her again in the future.
Kathy was amazing!!!! She was so thoughtful and personal in taking care of my dog! She asked tons of questions regarding my dog's likes/dislikes/routines which made me feel super comfortable. During this stay, it was only my dog and her dog at her house which reassured me that my dog would get proper attention compared to the other dog watchers who have 8 dogs at a time. She gave me a tour of where Leila would be during her stay and sent frequent pictures which was so sweet. I don't trust just anybody with my dog and Kathy truly went out of her way to make me and Leila feel comfortable. My normally anxious dog came back super energized and happy. I would recommend her times a million! Thank you Kathy!!!
Kathy is friendly and caring to all. She has sat Bailey a number of times and Bailey loves visits with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!

During our "Meet and Greet" I will ask you lots of questions about your dog and you can ask any questions about me and my dog that will help us decide if I am the best caretaker for your Furbaby. We are happy to email you a list of questions we ask our clients to answer if you'd like to review before our Meet and Greet. At our Meet and Greet we will make certain that my dog and your dog get along. I only take dogs that are 20 pounds or less, are micro-chipped, licensed and current on their vaccinations. They cannot have any communicable disease and must be dog and people friendly. I want to set us up for a positive and safe experience for all involved.
A typical day
With a dog's humans permission, we will go on leashed walks and car rides and visits to PetSmart and Petco. We spend a lot of time in our backyard playing with toys, chasing each other and throwing tennis balls. We will ask you about your Furbabies' favorite activities and incorporate them into our day. There is always time for petting, snuggling and loving your precious one!
