Pet care experience

Love is a four legged word!

I have had dogs most of my life. My childhood dog, Archie, was a mutt and so loveable. My adult dog was a Pug named Bailey. I had him as a puppy to 12 yrs old. He cracked me up every day! Finally, I adopted a Career Change Leader Dog. Daisy, my yellow lab! I had her 7 lovely years! Both dogs lived to be seniors so I have some experience with extra care and medications. I have no children so my dogs were my world. I have been dogless for 4 years and would be thrilled to share my life with your dog. My only recent experiences have been dog sitting for family and friends! We always have a great time and it is fun to find out their individual personalities and go from there!

Kathy was an exceptional pet sitter. I have a senior dog that has some special needs and Kathy was able to take care of her perfectly. I had no worries about my dog while on vacation. Kathy kept me updated regularly with pictures. I will definitely book with her again if we need a sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a completely fenced in yard for a dog to run and play. I have a small and medium cage available if needed. I am willing to make any accommodations necessary to care for your pet as best as possible.

A typical day

Like most dogs, I also love to be outside in the yard. We can play and run around or lounge in the warm sunshine. We can go for walks or even take naps. Most dogs I have watched like to help out in the kitchen with meal prep!

Of course I need to know any outstanding traits such as anxieties, dislikes, barking habits, or food no, no's etc. Sleeping habits are important to know also. Are they allowed treats of any kind? Also any medical issues a must know.
