Information Kathy V. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what is the dogs normal routine, does the dog have any favorite activities and toys or any special needs. Where does the dog liked to be rubbed, the belly or behind the ears.

A typical day

Your dog will have lots of fun, whether playing tug of war or playing with my dog Bear. Be sure to bring your dogs favorite toys to our house. We have a shaded tree-lined street and sidewalks through out the neighborhood so have plenty of streets to walk and to get some exercise.

My Home is your Dogs other Home!

Pet care experience

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

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.
