Caring, experienced, farm girl

Pet care experience

My name is Kathy, I live and work in Rochester as a nurse. My work schedule is flexible. Although when I do work, I work 12 hour shifts, I wouldn't accept a job on these days. I grew up on hobby farm south of Rochester with pigs, chickens, horses, nurturing litters upon litters of kittens, and an occasional litter of golden retriever puppies. My husband and I currently have 1 golden retriever, Dixie, she is 5 years old. She had 1 litter of puppies in 2017 which I loved every second of, but now she is spayed. We love the outdoors, we hike with Dixie at various places around Rochester. She gets along well with any dog, wouldn’t hurt a fly, she’s pretty submissive. We allow our Dixie on the bed/couch but if you prefer not, we would honor that.

I love going to Kathy with my pup, Chloe. She is so awesome! She took care of Chloe on Valentine’s Day and did a little photo shoot with her and gave her some heart shaped treats. So sweet!! Chloe always comes home tired from a full day of play! Thank you Kathy!!

Kathy was so on top of everything! She communicates really quickly and easily and you can tell she loves what she does. My pup Stormy was obsessed and can’t wait to see her again for more fetch dates!

Kathy was fantastic! I booked my dog Harley for a last minute day of daycare, and she was extremely flexible! Not to mention thorough-sharing many pictures and videos. Harley loved having her dog Dixie there to play with all day. I will definitely be using her again! Thanks Kathy!

Kathy and Dixie did a great job watching my 4 month old Corgi and my 14 year old Corgi!
