Fully Fenced Yard & Full Time Care

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs personally and professionally for almost 30 years. I have lots of experience with puppies and senior dogs, dogs with all levels of training and I am comfortable administering medication. My background is in Animal Behavior. I am a patient animal lover who takes time to understand an individual dog's needs based upon its environment and behavior. During their stay, your dog will be treated as a member of the family in my home, which includes 2 adults and 3 teenaged children and 1 dog-loving dog. My yard is fully fenced, and dogs are welcome on some furniture. I have a lovely quiet neighborhood as well as beautiful, wooded trails for leashed walks.

We are very grateful for the service Kathy provided. She went above and beyond to make sure Jack (our Mini Labradoodle), felt at ease staying in her wonderful home. In addition to Kathy's professionalism and animal knowledge, she is genuinely a kind and patient person. Thanks again......... and thank Ziggy too!

Our 2 year old retriever Oliver’s first day care visit with Kathy and her fur baby Ziggy was wonderful. Kathy really cares about the dogs left in her care.

Kathy truly understands dogs and I trust her completely with my babes. We refer to Kathy as Aunt Kathy now, to the pups: they adore her! She keeps them entertained, active and attended. I’m so grateful!
