A Family Home of Animal Enthusiasts

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Kathy, an animal enthusiast, and animal rescue volunteer. My family and I have dedicated our lives to rescuing and fostering a wide variety of animals. We are all involved with Canine Companions for Independence (CCI). An organization that helps raise puppies to become service dogs. Currently, I attend training classes at the Zoom Room in Trophy Club with my rescue dog. My husband, J.D., and I are available during the mornings and evenings on a weekly basis to travel to your own home and spend time with your loved ones in their own environment. We have also opened up our own dog-friendly home to take in your pup as an honorary member of the family while you are away. My husband is home weekly during the daytime hours. We feel that pet sitting is our true calling, as we are very compassionate and have a huge love for dogs because of what innocent and forgiving creatures they are. We do believe all animals are created equal! J.D. actually grew up around cats and loves the way they do their own thing. When we're not pet sitting, volunteering or fostering animals, we're either walking the neighborhood or crafting and woodworking. I personally love the summer months because I love warm weather and the beach, or a nice pool. J.D. loves the fall because of the cooler weather and football! But we both love our jeep!

As always, you've gone above and beyond and have been there when we've needed you. Thank you for your care of our kitties.

Whether we go away for business or pleasure, the peace of mind we get from knowing that our puppies are taken care of by Kathy and not just their needs, but she always takes the time to play with them, love on them, and the photos and updates she sends daily make all the difference. She is the absolute best.

Information Kathy W. would like to know about your pet

I love big dogs! We currently have a Doberman, Chocolate Lab, and a Golden Lab Mix. I did grow up with a Dachshund, so I have a special place in my heart for small breeds too! For in home boarding (at my house), I would like to have a copy of your baby's vaccination record and Vet contact information, in case there is an emergency. Please make sure your baby has had all required vaccines and is on flea prevention. I would like to know any tendencies, habits, or fun personality traits your pup has. Please include the following in your care instructions: Allergies Toy/Treat restrictions History of destructive behavior History of separation anxiety Medication schedule Reactivity to any items (guarding toys/barking at cars/etc) Any information you can provide that will make your pup more at ease! Typical doggie day care hours are drop offs between 7-9am, and pick ups between 4-6pm. Dog Boarding is typically for a 24 hour period.

A typical day

I love to take pictures, go visit places that are familiar, or if you have an adventure pup, we are always ready to try something new. It's all up to the personal preferences you have for your loved one(s). You are free to bring any items your baby loves, special toys or blankets, but I have found most pups don't play with them. They find something in our bucket of toys they love. It may be because it is new and fun, or just because it is different and exciting! They do love the smells of familiar blankets and beds when sleeping.
