Wee little doggie's loving home!

Pet care experience

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 was absolutely great while she watched our Hazley. She had sent updates/cute photos throughout the days she watch. We so appreciate Kathy being so kind and highly recommend her watching your pup!

Kathy went over and above to manage a difficult situation with our dog. Our dog was not suitable for a Rover stay, due to her blindness and deafness, and high anxiety of being in a new place. We did not realize how stressful it would be for out dog and she would not settle but paced and scratched. Kathy kept in touch with us, tried many interventions as an experienced dog owner and sitter, but not much helped. Kathy and her husband got very little sleep but toughed it out for us as we were out of the country. We would highly recommend her.

I only take smaller breeds up to 25 lbs. Please let me know of any anxieties, health concerns, diet restrictions or defining personality traits of your little ones to help me to better care for them. Dogs should be clean, free of fleas, housebroken, non-aggressive, and up to date on shots.

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.
