Responsible and Caring Petsitter

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Kathy. I recently moved to Taos and am available for drop-in visits and/or dog walking. I do have a pup of my own but I will leave him at home while I care for your dog, unless you prefer otherwise. I am a very active person and enjoy love walks, hikes, etc. I also enjoy cuddling with dogs and sharing lots of love with them. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I am available to drop-in/provide walks anytime between 7am & 9pm. I have previous experience in dog-sitting. In previous years I have been trusted by friends and acquaintances to care for their dogs while the owners were away. I have cared for French Bulldogs, German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, and Labradoodles. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! Kathy

We left Nala with Kathy for 2 weeks while we were overseas and were very happy on our return. We would definitely use her again - we received updates and photos and Nala was well cared for in our absence. Thankyou Kathy - hope to use you again.

Over the Christmas holiday in 2014, Kathy stayed with and watched our two dogs and my mother's dog for a week. Talk about a commitment during the holidays, right? To say Kathy was more than willing to help out is an understatement, since the dogs are a bit of a rowdie bunch, consisting of two primadona french bulldogs and a Belgian shepherd. Kathy not only made sure the monsters were fed, she walked them, played with them, watched TV with them, and made them feel comforted while we were away. Those were the things she did on the surface, but deep down she also made them feel safe and not abandoned. She loved them, and even "enjoyed" their doggie kisses. As someone who loves her babies like human children, it was a great relief to have Kathy with them. Kathy kept my fears of leaving the pups at home "alone" at bay, by sending photos and texting me to tell me all about their crazy antics. I knew they were in great hands and to say they missed her when she left them after that week is an understatement. She is great with dogs, small and large, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable, trustworthy person to watch their fur babies.

Kathy took care of our Italian Greyhound while we were on vacation for two weeks. She made sure he did not escape, was well-cared for and ate on time. Also she took him on his 3 daily walks. This gave us peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her!

I'd like to know their temperament. Are they hyper? relaxed? excitable? Potty-trained? Do they get along with other dogs? Is it okay if my dog interacts with them?
