I'll love your dogs as if my own!
Pet care experience
I had (2) 90+ lb, field labs from 7 weeks to 13+ years, "the boys" were like my own children, and received daily, unconditional love and commitment all their lives. After the second passed, we adopted a 7lb min-pin/dear chihuahua. She was our little baby for the 9 years we had her. The same will hold true for your dog as was with mine, "there is nothing "you" can do that will cause you fear or harm!" Mi Casa es Su Casa. I'll walk daily and will play in clean, fenced-in-yard. I understand the need for consistency in sleep, eat and play. I will monitor your dog to be sure he/she does not get into trouble, and receives attention and love. Will have free reign in my home.
Reviews
Kathy and Jim were amazing! They took care of our 2 month old chocolate lab puppy when we were in a bind. They sent a photos and gave updates which made helped make it a great experience! We definitely will be reaching our to them again!
Our 7 month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pup loved his stay with Kathy and Jim! He came home happy and exhausted. He was excited to see us when we picked him up, but it was obvious that he loved his pet sitters, too! Kathy sent plenty of photos and videos of his stay so we were confident he was in good hands and was enjoying himself while we were away. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Winston with Kathy again!
Kathy was so great! I'm so grateful that I found her. She was so kind to my senior dog and I knew that I was leaving Squeak in very great hands! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She sent me videos on what Squeak was doing. She has a great backyard for dogs to roam around in. When I dropped my dog off in the morning Kathy already had a nest of blankets for her waiting on the couch so she can look out the window. I'd definitely would have Kathy watch my dog again.
Kathy and Jim gave Bentley so much love while we were away! Even though Bentley had only met Kathy and Jim once before we dropped him off, he was already so excited to see them again! Bentley was recently bitten by another dog while on a walk and had to get stitches, so we were looking for a low key environment. Kathy's was perfect because she only watches one family of dogs at a time. So Bentley soaked up all the love and attention, and there was plenty of it. He seemed to feel very comfortable in their home and continued to play after greeting me when I came to pick him up. She took him for car rides, long walks around the neighborhood and lakes, and made beds for him all around her house and even in the car. Kathy sent great updates from videos of Bentley chasing squirrels in her big, fenced in back yard to him Bentley tucked in for bedtime. She also always supervised Bentley in the back yard, even though there were no gaps in the fence for him to escape which we really appreciated. Kathy and Jim were attentive and kind caretakers, and we will definitely be booking them again! Thank you! :)

I have a fenced in yard for your fur baby to play and have fun, or to just be outside to enjoy the outdoors with full time guidance. I do not leave pets un-attended, and they can come in when wanted or if determined needed.
Home
Information Kathy M. would like to know about your pet
I love both big and small dogs. I do not have experience with "angry" dogs, and would not prefer to care for a dog with anger issues. I would not typically watch more than one family of dog (dogs) at one time. Not more than 2 dogs at a time.
A typical day
Walks, chew toys, can bring your own toys, and/or beds. We can snuggle if your pet prefers. I have sent my friends email pics and videos of their doggies eating, playing and sleeping, and can do the same for you. One of my dogs was epileptic and required twice daily phenabarb, I am skilled at giving any medications your dog may require without being forceful.
