I live with my husband and our college attending son. We're a dog loving family! My career is as Household Manager/CEO (Ha Ha...Great title, right?!). My husband also works from home, so your pet will never be alone even during my occasional, quick errands. * I offer doggie daycare and overnight boarding in my home. Weekdays and weekends are available. * While I prefer small to medium sized dogs, I'll consider large dogs on a case-by-case basis. * All dogs must be potty trained. Many potty breaks will be provided. The occasional accident is to be expected especially when it's their first stay. I'm always understanding of this. * I welcome friendly dogs. NO AGRESSIVE!

Safety, trust & environment

My family and I are extremely responsible and will always be extra cautious while your pet is under my care. I greatly appreciate your trust and promise to always care for your pet as if they are my own! I have a spacious, fully enclosed backyard, perfect for your dog to run and play. I'll be right there to supervise and play ball if they'd like. ** PLEASE NOTE: We have 1 set of stairs leading from the deck down to the yard, so your dog needs to be able to navigate stairs for their potty breaks. I can carry small dogs if needed. During winter, we use anti slip mats and rugs.

Your Pet = Family!

Pet care experience

I've been a lifelong dog enthusiast and have always had dogs in my life. Sadly, I recently lost my beloved dog to old age. While I initially considered adopting another dog, I realized how much joy I find in pet sitting for family and friends. So, I've decided to put off adopting another pet and focus on caring for yours. I have a lot of experience with puppies and seniors, small dogs and large. Nothing makes me happier than having a canine companion. I absolutely love spending my time with them! You'll find me running around, playing fetch, squeaking toys and if your dog is up for it, I'll be taking them for walks. Your fur baby will have lots of fun hanging out with me! When they are ready for some downtime, they will always be welcome to sit with me on the sofa and enjoy some cuddles while watching a movie. They will always be treated like family and will be comfortable and happy! ** I will NOT double book with other families and there are no children in the house; your pet(s) will have my full attention.

I cannot tell you how much my dog and Kathy and Ian all love each other ❤️ It’s so comforting to know he’s loved so deeply when we’re out of town.

Kathy and Ian are so gentle and caring for our dog Cricket. It’s so comforting to know I can leave my pet with them with no worries at all. I highly recommend them for anyone to have your pet in their care❤️
