Information Kathy W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dogs have any special needs and I will do my best to accommodate. I have had elderly dogs that still want to get out so we can hook up my bike trailer and pedal them around if they are not able to get around as well as they used to.

A typical day

We have all sorts of toys and treats that I make myself, there is a great spot just out back we can take a stroll and take in the sounds and smells...

Pet care experience

Hello, I would love to be your dog sitter! Nothing is more fun than seeing a happy dog, and although i have three pooches of my own, i thoroughly enjoy having other fur babies visit. Over the years I have cared for many animals, some for day visits, overnights, and while parents are traveling. I have 3 pooches of my own currently, they get walks to the park every day as would your dog, off leash if that is possible. My pets include a 13 year old Brussels Griffon named Pinecone she is small but larger than life and always friendly, Sequoia is a 7 year old Border Terrier who loves company and to play, she is tireless and will play tug a war for hours. The newest edition is a 5 year old dobergoirl, she is a joy and loves to socialize, chew up stuffed toys and sing her favorite songs. I make homemade jerky, treats and food for my babies... The yard is large and full of free range chickens your pup will get frequent outside pottie breaks. Memory foam beds for comfort, house is chem free and holistic, only all natural in this house.... I will care for your pets as my own with Love, positive reinforcement, essential oils for calming and peacefulness. I have experience with older dogs, and realize they need quiet time as well as extra TLC. A typical day for your dog may include, meals, walks, playing in the yard, playing with toys inside the house, sampling my homemade treats, snuggling up for a nap and all tired out for you when you pick them up. Like the sign at my back door says "This home is maintained for the security and comfort of our animals, if you don't like that, please go away" I work from home and set my own schedule as I have my own business. I am able to give your pooches the attention they deserve! I give the dogs lots of outside time and areas to play and romp inside. House has plenty of cozy spots set up just for them.

Kathy was great to work with, took good care of our dog and seemed to really enjoy dogs (has three of her own), ours in particular! Sent us several photos during the boarding. Easy to communicate with.
