You have furbaby... I have love!
Pet care experience
*** Overnight Boarding for Day Care Clients ONLY see notes below)*** I'm a responsible educated professional currently working from home for a nonprofit that I founded last year. Here your much loved pets will find a comfortable environment where we pride ourselves on the quality of our cuddles, harmony & lack of drama! I have one dog (Pickles 12yo) & 2 cats (Nikihia -16yo & Takeet -10yo), I've had all three since they were babies, they're well trained, in good health (up to date one everything) & receptive to new friends. We live in a 3bdr apt walking distance to downtown, parks & trails. Our building also has a secured dog run for the houdini types. As a trained psychologist I'm great at picking up on the "unspoken" which goes a long way when working with shy &/or fearful dogs, so if you have one... We'll make sure to provide extra structure, security & loads of love! In addition, I'm experienced with training (my dog is a service dog) & I can work with you at your place or mine, ask me about it if you're interested. ***IMPORTANT NOTE*** I care greatly about the health & wellbeing of your loved one and as a result of some tough "lessons learned" I've had to develop the following guidelines so that you can rest assured that your pup will enjoy their visit here in our home! RE: Overnight Boarding ~ If you would like to book an overnight (& your not a day care client) I require that you book one day care visit first. This allows me to observe your pets behavior in my home prior to an extended stay & ensures no crisis reboarding issues while you're away. RE: New Day Care Stays ~ I'm very good at what I do, it's important that I know what I'm agreeing to PRIOR to your pups stay. I ask new clients to ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR PETS WHEN REQUESTING NEW BOOKING. Is your pet housebroken? Is your pet social? Has your pet ever bitten anyone? Is your pet destructive (chewing, digging, scratching, urinating in the house ect) Does you pet get on with cats? Does your pet have any medical conditions or special needs? Does your dog pull on a lead? How does your pet let you know he/she needs to go out or eat? Having this information ensures good fit & worry free stay for your best friend, in most cases it's unlikley that I would turn a booking down based on your responses, but it allows me to confirm I have the availability to manage your pups needs effectivly during their stay so you can rest assured that your best friend is in great hands!
Reviews
Kay was wonderful with my dog, Willie! He seemed to warm to her and her pets from the beginning, which made me feel very comfortable to leave him for awhile, and he had a great time. Kay sent me a few updates during the day to let me know how he was doing, and I didn't even have to ask. When I came to pick him up, she told me how the day had been. Everything about the experience inspired my confidence and trust in her, and she will be at the top of my list the next time I need to leave Willie somewhere.
Kay was amazing! Kay was very flexible and was willing to work with my work schedule. She also took the extra time to prepare Annabelle's (my dog) meals for her diet and kept her company all day. Kay understands general dog behavior and can read their body language really well and so I felt very comfortable leaving Annabelle with Kay from day one. Annabelle loved playing with Pickle (Kay's dog) and felt very comfortable at Kay's place. Upon returning the second day, Annabelle went right on in and didn't even notice I had left for work. I will definitely be asking Kay to watch Annabelle again! :)
Kay has watched our dog, Zeke, on many occasions and has proven to us that she is a true animal lover. Our little guy runs to her when we drop him off and is barely willing to come back when we pick him up. While staying with Kay, she sends us regular updates and pictures of him enjoying himself and getting lots of exercise and great care. We highly recommend Kay without any reservation and intend to continue to take advantage of such a wonderful care giver when we want to get away, knowing he is in such good hands.
Kay D. Was amazing with Whiskey! This was our first time using Rover and also Whiskey's frist time being watched by someone other than family. When we met, Whiskey felt very comfortable with Kay D and over time opened up to her friendly cat & dog! Next time we're in town we are definitely bringing Whiskey to her! Thanks a million!! You were awesome!

A typical day
Walk, Play, Train, Snuggle & Socialize... We're a really chill bunch, when we're not piled up watching a movie you can find us in places like Congress & High Rock Parks as well as strolling along the Spring Run Trail. If you're really lucky, you might catch a quick glimpse of Pickle with his goggles & helmet strutting around town on a Vespa checking out the ladies. No matter what we're up to when your pup is with us you'll get with lots of photos & videos of your baby having a great time, just let me know if you'd like me to do this :)
