Loving and Caring home

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since I was ten. From a litter of beagle puppies to King & Queen to Sandy our cocker spaniel and Pepper the Schnauzer. In married life I had golden retriever and multiple Tri Shelties. Also have the pleasure of grand dogs to care for occasionally. My last Sheltie Cooper passed 10/2020 and I would love to care for your precious fur baby.

Kathy is amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations. She visited Ripley twice in a week and kept in communication with us. She even brought in our mail packages on the porch. We couldn’t have asked for anyone more amazing if we tried!

Kathy did a great job of taking care of our dog. She is a dog savvy, experienced pet owner. I knew within minutes on our meet and greet that our dog would be in great hands. Her response time is excellent, and her updates appreciated. Upon our return we picked up a very relaxed and happy dog. We will use Kathy for our next boarding need without any hesitation.

Kathy did a fantastic job with Zin. It is clear that she enjoys dogs and is experienced with them. Zin also enjoyed her stay at Kathy’s house. We will not hesitate to leave Zin with her again and highly recommend her. Greg & Roslyn D
