Pet care experience
40 years experience. Two fence yard
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 43 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.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kathy and her husband were outstanding, taking extra care to get him settled and gently introducing him to some new friends. She sent regular updates and was very professional and prompt regarding pick-up and drop-off. R had a great stay in Kathy’s very warm and welcoming home. Highly recommend.
Our dog Charlie stayed with Kathy for two weeks and had the time of his life. We received lots of videos of him living his best life catching balls and playing with other dogs. Safe to say he was sad when we picked him up.
Kathy is a true professional and cares deeply for our dog Ruby. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for doggy daycare or overnight boarding. Chuck & Sue
Kathy is always responsive and communicative, and we really appreciate how often she’s able to accommodate our schedule. Rory gets plenty of time with other dogs while he’s there, and it’s great having a reliable sitter close to home. Thanks for taking good care of him!
Kathy was great, kept us updated with everything and sent along video daily.
Kathy was an amazing host for Cooper! So much so that he was depressed when he came home, he missed playing in her huge yard with his friends! Also, I was stuck and Kathy took Cooper on just the day before I had to go out of town. I got daily videos and it was such a help to see him so happy. It made me feel comfortable so that I could enjoy time with my family. Highly recommend!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have two securely fenced in yards that I have put down AstroTurf so no dirty dogs :-) The dog stay in my home. I have several dog beds and several chairs that the dogs just love. Dogs are never created unless you ask me to. Where I work from home I am able to give them potty breaks and attention throughout the work day. And nice weather we are outside frequently. I have raised dog beds for the outside a pool and mini toys to keep them busy.
A typical day
I take the pets outside every 1-3 hours. Play time frequently. On rainy days we run thru the house Playfully.. We play ball with those who love it.
