I treat your pet like my own, with plenty of love and care. I have my 10-year-old boxer, Onyx, here as a companion, so your pet will always have company. I make sure your pet feels safe and at ease, whether it’s at my place or yours. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including keeping to feeding schedules, medication routines, and any specific care needs.

Information Kathy S. would like to know about your pet
Are they potty trained? Are they reactive to other pets or people? Do they have any favorite treats or food restrictions? What’s their training level and daily activity needs? Any allergies I should know about?
A typical day
our pet’s day with me will be filled with fun and exercise! I’ll start the day with a 45-minute morning walk, followed by two shorter walks in the afternoon (around 30 minutes each). I’ll make time for park or beach outings for some extra energy release (about an hour), and we’ll cap it off with some playtime and training at home. Whether it’s fetching, some light obedience, or simply a good cuddle session, your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day.

Pet care experience
I’m Kathy, and I have a 10-year-old active boxer son. I love dogs and cats! My friends always trust me with their pets because they know they’ll get all the love, attention, and fun. From teaching puppies the ropes to caring for seniors, I’ve got it covered. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me!
Reviews
I absolutely cannot say enough about Kathy and her husband (and their sweetheart of a dog, Onyx)! If you are anxious about leaving your sweet baby, these are the people who will allow you to leave them, worry-free. Up until meeting Kathy, I never felt comfortable leaving my girlie-pop, NOVA, with anyone. Nova is a deaf Great Dane with prominent anxiety issues whom I adopted a year and a half ago. She’s still somewhat of a puppy in Great Dane years, so she needs eyes on pretty much all of the time. Nova & I have been seeing a trainer for some time; we utilize the E-Collar due to her hearing impairment. It turns out that Kathy & her husband are very familiar with this training tool. I explained the training we had done and what we’re in the process of working on. They were absolutely fantastic with her; they reenforced the training she’s had as well as expanding on it !!! She literally came back a better dog than I left her. I was so worried about leaving her because of the anxiety she exhibits when I’m not near her. Oh my gosh, they not only sent me pictures throughout the day, everyday, but took video of her progress with them, at the park, on a run to the beach, playing with neighbors and snuggling with them and Onyx. They responded each and every time I checked in and reassured me that Nova was doing well along with updates from their adventures together. The immense relief I felt was beyond comforting and allowed me to enjoy some time away. I honestly cannot imagine leaving my baby girl with anyone other than them. Rest assured, your furbabies will be in kind, loving and attentive hands with them.
I always get stressed whenever I have to leave my dog Bella, but Kathy made the whole experience so much easier. She took Bella in last minute and instantly put me at ease. Since Bella isn't usually great with other dogs, we did a meet and greet with her dog, Onyx (who is such a sweetheart!). Bella was hesitant at first, but after a few hours, they were able to cohabitate. Kathy kept me reassured the entire time with regular updates and lots of pictures. She is incredibly patient and understanding and I would highly recommend her!
Going on family vacations is always a source of anxiety when it comes to leaving our pets in the care of someone else. We have had some good and some downright awful experiences with carers but Kathy was hands down the most phenomenal pet-sitter we've had. She took our beloved dog Pocket out on multiple walks each day and even sent us photos of her playing to put us at ease. Kathy was always reachable and Pocket seemed to have loved her time with her. The next time we go on a trip, I'll feel safe leaving our pets with Kathy, and have since recommended her to all of my friends.
