Pet care experience

My Home is your Dogs other Home!

I am home everyday and have a big four bedroom house for your dog or dogs to sleep and play while you are away! I have had dogs all my life and have helped watch and walk other dogs for friends and family. I can work with you on a flexible schedule for dog sitting, drop in visits or day care if needed. We have a dog walk park in the neighborhood and lots of sidewalks with very little traffic. I have a 9 year old Yorkie Poo who loves to play with other dogs so your dog will have an instant friend at my house. Looking forward to meeting you and helping watch your dog with love and care at his or her other home. Thank you

I can’t recommend Kathy enough! Last week, I unexpectedly needed an almost emergency dog sitter after my travel plans changed at the airport. My dogs were originally supposed to travel with me, but I wasn’t able to board with them. I had to find someone trustworthy on very short notice, and Kathy not only responded quickly but was also affordable and available. Because of the circumstances, I took a chance on someone new, and I’m so glad I did. After this experience, Kathy will absolutely be my go-to dog sitter. I was away for six days, and she kept me updated with photos every day—sometimes even twice a day—which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked up my babies, they looked happy, healthy, and well cared for. There were no scratches or signs of stress, and it was obvious they had been treated with love and attention. My dogs mean the world to me, so finding someone I can truly trust is priceless. I’m incredibly grateful for Kathy and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.

Kathy and her family so kind and took excellent care of Layla I will be using her again. My dog is older and has anxiety. She sent regular updates and pictures. I also ran over because of unexpected traffic Im so grateful for her care and kindness that she provided for Layla.

We so appreciate being able to leave our pup without any issues with Kathy. It’s such a relief for us as we are traveling. Thank you, Kathy!

I highly recommend Kathy. We had to go out of town for a funeral and could not bring our dog. It was really hard leaving him since we normally always travel with him. Kathy was great with our dog and reassured me several times throughout the day and with pictures that he was doing fine. It was a huge weight off of our shoulders with all we had going on. I’m so happy we found her!
