Although I am home for most of the time with your dog there would be times your dog would have to be left alone yet not for long - a few hours two days out of the week or to do a simple local errand. Separation problems would not be a good fit, yet I have watched dogs in the past with separation issues. If my schedule of days off falls within the dates needed, that would work out great, and pups with a little separation anxiety are fine because I would be able to be with them all day.

Safety, trust & environment

The environment for your dog will be very relaxing. I live in a quiet home block and a half from the beach. I ask that your dog be housebroken and friendly with people and other dogs. Because of the town I live in - very much a dog town , honesty is the best policy for the safety of your pet and a great stay. One-level home and fenced backyard. We can arrange for your dog to be the one and only if need to be.

Information Kathy K. would like to know about your pet

My favorite is an Old English Sheepdog. However, I love all dogs. They are amazing.I require your pet to be spayed or neutered. Up on all shots and vet information in case of an emergency. If your pup is aggressive or has dog social-related issues. I find being honest with each other makes the best visit. Thank you.

A typical day

You dog will enjoy a very zen atmosphere and a lot of activities. Walks on the boardwalk during winter months.There are also many paved trails to walk in the woods in the area as well. I don't go to Happy Hour or the Dog Beach. I leave that up to the owner to do with their pup. unless the owner requests me to do so. I really love dogs. They will get a lot of love and kindness.

Pet care experience

I'm a dog lover and grew up on a farm in Wall Township surrounded by them. Your pup would get excellent overnight or day care, visits at your home if you live in town. We would go for a walk early in the morning on the boardwalk for starts and again later in the day after the sun starts to set during the summer months. Winter a full run of the beach. Whichever season your dog would be spoiled and have access to potty breaks in the grass in a secure fenced backyard or walks. Walk around the neighborhood on the wide sidewalks and quiet streets. Dog beach runs and if up to it a few miles of a walk a day. Senior dog? It's not a problem I live in a one-story cottage with a secure fenced-in yard. The cottage is airy, light, good vibes. I'm an artist and would mostly hang inside when not walking painting, maybe even a portrait of your dog. I do require your dog to be housebroken, they will get plenty of walks and potty breaks, however, we need to be honest on that subject, thank you. The house smells great and is clean. Thank you and I am looking forward to spending time with your pup!

Kathy was amazing and took care of my babies in her home for 5 days and nights. She sent me photos, updates and I felt 100% confident that they were in the best care with her. Will definitely book again!!
