Will Love your dog while you travel

I am a mature woman who loves dogs. I am happy to care for your dog in my home while you travel. I recently lost my small mixed breed chihuahua/terrier mix . I miss her terribly and love having dogs in the house to fill the void. We will have daily walks and some play time either in the house or outside depending on the weather. I have kept others dogs in my home for the past 20 years. I am happy to keep yours. I have some dog training experience and am happy to work some with your dog while they are with me. Let's set up a play date and get to know one another. I look forward to meeting you. Please housebroken dogs only.

Kathy was a great sitter for my dogs! She gave me daily updates and pictures, so I always knew they were okay. I would definitely recommend her to others! 😊

I’ve left my Sophie with Kathy several times now & there is no one I would trust more. She loves what she does & it shows. She is gentle & loving with all her little charges and I feel totally comfortable leaving for a week or an afternoon. I highly recommend her for your fur baby. Patty C

Ms. Kathy did an excellent job taking care of our dog, Megan. She was very responsive, attentive, and clearly treated Megan with love and care. We felt completely at ease knowing Megan was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Ms. Kathy to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and compassionate caregiver for their pet.

Kathy is great with our little dog, and our dog really likes spending time with Kathy. She took care of our dog for a week, and we had great updates from Kathy. We feel very comfortable leaving our dog with Kathy!

Schedule

I am retired and love to work in the yard. While my yard isn't fenced, I can still have your dogs out with me. I have long leashes and dogs seem to love to just lay in the grass.

Safety, trust & environment

It is not often that I leave dogs alone but sometimes a trip to the grocery store is necessary. Please let me know if your dog is okay to be left alone for short periods of time and if not, please provide a crate so that I can confine them for a brief period.

Pets

A typical day

There is a beautiful woods behind my house that I like to walk in. We will go for a walk through the woods at least once a day. We also have a nice little fenced dog park that we can use for a game or two of fetch if your dog does not do well off leash.
