Retired providing xtra special-care

Pet care experience

I am a grandmother and retired social worker providing full-time care for furbabies in my home. I am home all day so your little one will receive lots of care and attention while they are with me. They get's lots of cuddles and for fur babies who are staying overnight, the bed is open for snoozing as well. My home is warm with a clean set up for pets. I have experience watching all kinds - puppies to elderly. Most of my regulars are older dogs and those who need a little special care. I also try really hard to be available for last-minute emergency care! I welcome pets on the furniture. Your fur baby will also have free reign of the fenced-in backyard through a doggie door but will, of course, be closely supervised! I have one small dog, Pete, who enjoys having friends over and gets along well with other dogs. He always offers to play but respects those who prefer not too. I do daily walks, throw balls and playing games for those who need extra exercise. I typically accept 1-2 families at a time to ensure everyone’s comfort and adequate quality time.

Kathy was amazing with our dog, Kepler. He was so relaxed when we picked him up that I knew we found the perfect home away from home for him. She is very attentive to his habits and needs and really took the time to understand his routine from me before keeping him. While he was happy to see us, I could see that he thoroughly enjoyed his stay. Thank you Kathy!

We can’t say enough about how amazing Kathy was with our girl Angie. She communicated often and was super attentive. Knowing she was watching our girl made us relax and able to enjoy your much needed time off.

Kathy was very responsive and communicative! It was my first time boarding my dog and she had him completely at ease. Will definitely recommend!

Information Kathy O. would like to know about your pet

I have extensive experience with elder or dogs needing special need. My house is well set up for those with hip problems and I can administer medications or high need diets. There can be a minor extra fee for really high-need care - please contact for details if you have special needs. Before the stay, I want to understand any fur baby needs - feeding schedules, walk preferences, any special need care.

A typical day

Most of my visitors enjoy the free run of my safe and fenced in backyard the best - there is a lot for them to explore - I also do daily walks for those up for the exercise. I have a great neighborhood, there is plenty of area to explore. If your pet has trouble with distance walks, I respect their needs and will stay closer to home.
