Pet care experience
I have always had a dog in my life except for a few years here and there. When I was young, my family had duachtson's and Samoyeds. When I lived on a farm I had a sheltie colie and for the last 10 years I have rescued and rehabbed 2 different American Eskimo dogs from puppy mills. My first American Eskimo was deaf and did not have teeth so I taught her commands in sign language. She had lots of medical issues, but I was able to bring her back to being healthy within a year with the advice of my vet. This included cooking her a special diet and giving her medications daily. My current Eski was caged for six years of her life and has only been out of the cage for a year. She was never socialized to people or dogs and is dong very well with other dogs and familiar people. My experience with dog sitting has mostly been with my family members and neighbors, but they will tell you I am very reliable and good with other people's dogs. I am a firm believer in dog training and I have gone through beginning and intermediate training with most of my dogs. I have also worked with a behavioral trainer and feel I have a good understanding of how to work with dogs. I will treat your dog with love and respect and make sure they are safe.

Checks in regularly
Kathy is amazing! We could not have asked for a better sitter for our kitty while we were on vacation. Our kitty is very shy, and we were very impressed with how much she warmed up to Kathy during the week she watched her. She kept us updated and sent photos which is always nice to know your pets are doing well when you aren’t there. I would highly recommend Kathy… we truly are grateful to have found her!

Information Kathy S. would like to know about your pet
I work full time, but am available to watch your dog in my home or yours and can walk them early in the morning and after work. On the weekends I am available to do walks 3-4 times a day I live in the Littleton/Lakewood/Southwest Denver area. Questions I would to know include: Does your dog take medications or have special needs? Does you dog get along with other dogs and cats (I have a cat). How long can your dog go before he needs to be taken out to go potty? Does your dog respond to simple commands? does your dog walk well on a leash? What kind of snacks does your dog like?
A typical day
I live near a wonderful path around a lake that I like to walk daily. I also have a dog park close to my house. I like to go out and play fetch and visit other neighbor's dogs. In the house I like to teach the dog tricks and give treats.
