Dog Mom Who Loves to Play

Pet care experience

I have had big dogs (Great Danes) past 20 years. I always check on well being, play, and clean up. I make the visits enjoyable by engaging with dog with song and words too.

Kathy is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her stay with our 3 dogs again. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet and your home are well cared for. My dog loves everybody, but he really took a shine to Kathy, probably because of her calm and kind manner with them. We recently moved to a new home and our dogs has been stressed and has been having accidents inside the house but Kathy managed to make them relax and helped us clean which we appreciate so much.

Kathy was very easy to work with and very responsive. After meeting Kathy at the meet and greet I felt very comfortable with her staying at our home and taking care of River and Rowdy. While we were away, Kathy was responsive and sent updates and pictures of the dogs. I could tell they were happy and were comfortable with Kathy. When we returned home, the house was just as we left it and River and Rowdy were very well taken care of. I would highly recommend Kathy.

Kathy was incredible. She was patient with our two dogs that have different needs. Lilly is an elderly dog, and Sam is an anxious little guy. Kathy went above and beyond, giving both the extra attention that they needed. She sent me several updates each day with pictures. Anyone would be lucky to have Kathy care for their pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm able to spend time with your pet as long as it takes, especially if anxiety is causing stress. This means talking, singing and treats to gain trust.

Information Kathy S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any stranger anxiety or fears so I can be sure to work with them properly. I want to respect them as they will be anxious with someone new (unless like my Danes who love anyone who gives pets)

A typical day

I like to play and do what they normally do while you're home to make it less stressful. Routine is important so giving the same routine is what I follow.
