My life has gone to the dogs:)

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. I have a wealth of experience caring for many medical conditions in a variety of breeds. I am comfortable with all breeds, and I am willing to work with the “ less friendly” breeds as well. I have the ability to keep dogs separate if needed. I’ve birthed puppies for others, as well as raised up litters for myself. I have 5 separate, fenced areas for dogs to play & romp either with other dogs if they are friendly or separated. I have a teenager(13 going on 30) in the house as well as my adult son & his wife who are both dog lovers. My son was raised with dogs so he has a keen dog sense about him. We work together to provide the best possible care for all dogs. We will care for your dogs like they are our own. We want your pets comfortable, safe, and happy while here. We can provide them with plenty of exercise, fresh water daily, and lots of hugs & kisses. We can accommodate special needs dogs- either medically or temperamental. We are willing to feed raw food as well as administer meds if needed. I am retired and home most of the time. I do have my adult son & his wife here so we tend to work together to insure dogs always have someone home with them. I also have my teenager who has been raised with dogs. I have 5 separate fenced areas. I have 5 of my own dogs that get along with other dogs very well. We have cared for very old dogs that require meds, to young puppies that are not potty trained. We also offer grooming services, nails, baths, blow outs, whatever you need. In addition I am also a dog trainer at several schools through the twin Cities area teaching basic obedience & agility. I’m currently retired, my daughter in law is in college mostly online, so is also home most of the time. My son does work however he’s always home early afternoons and weekends. We all spend many hours playing and romping in the yards with the dogs. I have several friendly dogs of my own, so your dog can have plenty of playmates if that’s your dogs preference. If they want time alone, we can accommodate that as well.

Kathy was exceptional! From the beginning straightening out booking clarifications, to drop off flexibility, her response time was always detailed & thorough. We highly recommend Kathy, 10/10 and wouldn’t hesitate to book a future stay.

Kathy did a great job with our dog Sadie. She is a very caring person and sent pictures and messaged us back with any questions in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing to board their pet.
