Kay was very responsive and came to our house to get to get to know our dogs as we were to go out of town for a few days. That was a excellent relationship building experience as they were puppies and were not socialized due to Covid. She was very patient with them and had won them over by visiting with them a few days before we were to leave. We had to cancel our trip because of my husbands and did not get to use her services. I will not hesitate to call on her in the future when I need someone to take care of our babies! She is personable, responsive, knowledgeable in working with the pets, trustworthy and made us feel comfortable to leave our dogs with her for several days. Thank you, Kay!

It isn’t easy to ask a total stranger into your home and ask them to look after your precious fur babies. Kat is a fellow dog lover and you are immediately comfortable with her. We will certainly use her again.

Kat is amazing with my two pups! She established trust with them immediately. And, I can trust her to be on time and responsive. She's been flexible and accommodating of my schedule. She goes above and beyond and also cleans up any dog hair she sees in the house.
The best part is how the dogs look forward to her visit each day. She brushes them, plays with them, spends time with them as well as feeds and lets them out. It's reassuring to know that while I'm downtown working every day, Kat is there making sure my fur family is well cared for. Would highly recommend Kat to anyone who needs pet sitting and dog walking services.

Kathy is very kind, you can tell from the first time we met. Very accommodating. I received messages and some pictures every visit to let me know how my fur baby was while I was away. This also told me when she was arriving every visit. I had never used this service and was very pleased. Will call Kathy again when needed.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have 3 dogs of my own. One is a resue sig who had been severely abused. He was not very adoptable as he was scared of everything and apparently lived most of his life in a crate. There were potty training and trust issues that we worked through. It made my heart happy to watch him change into a very loving and trusting dog. He is a constant travel companion when I am out of town for a few days.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always loved dogs. Dog walking is beneficial to both the dogs and me since we both are getting excercise.
