Kathy's Canine Capers

My home is a 4-level split with a large backyard surrounded by a tall privacy fence. My pup Kodie is very friendly & gets along well with other dogs but a meet & greet is a must beforehand. I do only take two dogs at a time and no dogs under 2, please. So they do get lots of love and attention. I also work from home so there is usually someone here 24/7. I take the dogs out for regular walks. We love to play & splash around in the baby pool, as the season allows, of course! I love rewarding good behavior. I have no problems working with special needs dogs and am more than willing to accommodate special requests within reason. My daily goal is to love and care for each and every dog as if they're my own. Whether you're going out of town or just going out for the day, you'll want to make sure they're with someone who will love and care for them just as much as you. Should you have any questions or concerns, please, don't hesitate to ask me. There's never a dull moment at Kathy's Canine Capers!

Kevin loves visiting Kathy. He has some health issues requiring medication. I know he is safe and in good hands so I don’t worry when I’m out of town. .

Kathy is the best! Our kitties love her daily visits when we go on vacation. She takes the best photos, gives amazing updates and cares for our fur babies like her own. Her kindness is beyond words!

Kathy is awesome. Our pooch loves her, and she's great about communication. I couldn't ask for more.
