Pet care experience
Hello. I offered discounts for multiple dogs and stays for six nights or longer. My name is Kathy and I have been a self-employed dog groomer for over 40 years. In my first year of grooming I keyed in on why some dogs are scared or timid. I have professional experience working with dogs in various capacities, including training, grooming, and boarding. I have a strong grasp of canine behavior and I understand the way dogs think. This allows me to manage dogs of various temperaments, including reactive and dogs. More and more people are calling me the dog whisperer when they are amazed at the videos of their pets. I usually send videos rather than photos. My skills help to alleviate separation anxiety and social skills become improved. it comes easy to me. Discounts are given to two or more pets and for stays longer than 6 days :-) My clients have been very pleased and the difference they see in their dogs when you going for a grooming session with me, as well as staying in my home. I have always said I love my job and I still do to this day. I started helping clients out when they went away watching their pets in my home. I love pet sitting. I recently put fake turf in my two dog yards which the dogs love. Photos upon request. People say I have a dog fantasyland. I work from home so spending time with the dogs is available throughout the day. Some dogs love to be with me while I am working where I also have a fenced yard off my grooming shop. $ I am able to offer discounts for multiple pets and for stays longer than 5 days. I have 2 fenced yards. Play time and potty breaks many times throughout the day. Some dogs love to be down stairs in my shop while I work and I have a fenced yard off my grooming shop.
Reviews
This was our dog's first time being boarded and our first time with Kathy. Kathy sent a couple of videos on the first day to ease our minds and let us know that Henry was doing well. When we picked him up he was happy and excited to see us. Henry had a good experience with Kathy!
Kathy was awesome! Bruno was extremely happy and comfortable with her, and were so relieved. We have had Bruno for 2 years. We rescued him from a shelter in the south, and we have never left him with anyone because of his past issues of neglect and abuse. Kathy went above and beyond to make Bruno comfortable in her home. We were able to enjoy a much needed vacation with our two sons since we lost our oldest son to cancer two years ago. We will use Kathy again in the future now that we know he was happy and content with her. Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!
Kathy is a complete care expert for our dogs! They had a great time and were very well taken care of! We love Kathy’s daily updates too.
Kathy is great! I was very hesitant to leave my anxious dog with anyone but after meeting Kathy could tell she would be in good hands. She knows dogs very well and how to make them feel right at home. She communicated with us throughout our weekend away and sent us lots of videos. Would definitely recommend Kathy to anyone looking for in home doggy day care.
