Information Kathy V. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know their temperament. Are they hyper? relaxed? excitable? shy? Potty-trained? Do they get along with other dogs? Are the okay outside in a fenced yard? Do they dig holes?

A typical day

I plan on walking them as much as they are used to, and possibly more if allowed! I love taking pups on a hike! I will also play with them inside and give them lots of cuddles.

Pet care experience

Hi! We’re Kathy and Val. We recently moved to Albuquerque from Santa Fe. We both work from home as contractors and are available for dog boarding and doggie day care at our home. We have 2 dogs, Odin and Brady, who are very friendly. We are very active and enjoy long walks, hikes, etc. We also enjoy cuddling with dogs and sharing lots of love with them. Since we work from home our schedule is flexible. We are available from 7am - 9pm. Daycare (full day) and boarding include a 1-2hr hike, depending on activity level and need of the dog. For boarding the hikes can be as often as every other day depending on their activity level and needs.

Kathy is absolutely outstanding! We have used her for some time now for doggie day care (2 energetic golden retrievers), and just recently we boarded the dogs with her for 5 nights. She clearly adores dogs and appears ready for anything! We love how she takes them for long walks and hikes. She sends adorable photos and videos regularly. Well done!!
