Pet care experience

Wee little doggie's loving home!

My husband and I have had dogs all of our lives from puppies on. I love to take walks, play games, and cuddle with small dogs. I have experience with all ages and a variety of health concerns. I will only take one family's babies at a time unless discussed with both sides and agreed. We raised a puppy for, volunteered with, and I worked for Kids and Canines, a program that raises and trains service dogs for the handicapped. So I understand training techniques. I will spoil your babies with love and attention, but I won't let them get away with any bad habits.

Kathy kept me up to date with pictures and texts and I felt safe leaving my little guy in her care. Would definitely ask her to sit my boy again!

Kathy is an amazing Pet Sitter. She always makes sure our dog is well taken care of despite Pebbles being a bit challenging as a senior dog. We appreciate all the love and care she provides to Pebbles!

My husband and I are retired and available most times unless we have a camping trip planned. I am home most days, so can adjust to whatever schedules are needed for your pup.

Safety, trust & environment

Our doggie guests have the run of the house except the front two rooms that are carpeted. They are allowed on the furniture for lots of snuggling, but they do not sleep in our bed. We have several comfy dog beds so that they can sleep right next to us or feel free to bring your own.

A typical day

We have a nice neighborhood for walks, toys to play tug of war and fetch with if they like. And we like to play games like hide and seek and find the hidden treats.
