Pet care experience

Fur-baby Friend!

I am an energetic, hard-working retiree with lots of time on my hands. I currently work part time at an animal shelter but I would really like more 1:1 pooch time! Or kitty time! I love animals and I am very patient with them as they get to know me. I only use positive reinforcement such as treats, praise and pets. I would want to know what your goals are for your pet so that I can reinforce your standards. I am just as happy sitting in the floor with them as I am taking them for a romp in the park. I love it when I can engage your pet and see that they are having fun! I’ll send you pictures! Your pet and I will have fun!

I couldn't have been happier with Kathy. She did an absolutely great job making my little dog comfortable and happy. I even think our Princess gained a little weight! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

Kathy is truly amazing! My hound dog is not like other dogs and needs a lot of reassurance, love and space to feel space! Kathy provides just that environment. She responded to me promptly each time I check in on keepsake and made sure he was happy and well cared for! I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!

Kathy was amazing!!!!!!! I left my kitten with her for about 10 days and she had the best time. My kitty Snax was so well cared for and had many friends with play with! She was also loved on so much by Kathy! She made me feel so much more comfortable being away and also sent the sweetest updates! Snax will definitely be back and she can’t wait!

Kathy took great care of Pokey! She was kind and professional in coordinating logistics, and she obviously loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about their needs. Pokey also had the best time playing with her dog and running in her big fenced yard- he came home happy and relaxed. Will book again.

We were so happy to have Kathy love and care for our dog while we were out of town. She took great care and we would definitely use her again.

Pets

A typical day

The activities will depend on what YOUR dog prefers. If there is a park nearby that they like, that’s where we will go. Do they like to chase tennis balls? What about frisbees? Tug of war? Or do they just want to sit in my lap and watch animal planet. It’s all about your pooch!

As the pet-parent, your know what your dog likes and doesn’t like. You know what you allow his to do and to eat. I would reinforce your choices. I like all breeds....chihuahuas to Anatolian Shepherds or Newfies! I like them all. I would like to know if they have things they DON’T like....such as touching their tummy or taking their favorite toy.
