A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US
I have always loved animals and I have spent most of my adult life as an entrepreneur. We began offering walking and drop-in services in June, 2017, after I found myself in need of care for my dog during a holiday weekend. I was amazed at how quickly the business took off, as quality pet care is a great need for those who work long hours and/or taking a vacation. This was the start of Pet Care and Walking, LLC. My son, Joel, and I are committed to providing quality care for the animals in the
downriver community.

SOME HAPPY CLIENTS

"Kathy and Joel have been so great to my dog, Oso and I. They’re always there when I need them. I moved here alone two years ago with a very nervous pup. Kathy and Joel worked with him, gained his trust, and now Oso can barely contain himself when I tell him 'Kathy or Joel' is coming. I am so very grateful for Kathy and Joel. I don’t know what I’d do without them.

"Kathy has been sitting our two dogs for two years. We use no one else besides Kathy, and our dogs love her. She is 100% on-time and reliable, and we can tell she truly cares about us all. Her responsiveness to messages is excellent."

"When I first took Bono to Kathy's house, I was really nervous. Bono had never stayed with anyone but family. However, Kathy was very welcoming to Bono - had him come right in- meet her dog and told me he would be fine. I left hoping he would be okay. By the time I reached the airport, Kathy had sent her first picture of Bono snuggling under the Christmas tree. She continued to send pictures my entire trip ! These were the best. When I picked up Bono, he really didn't want to leave he had found a new home. Now, I never hesitate to call Kathy when I need her, she is always willing to help. When I take him to her house he is eager to get out the door and into caring and loving home while I'm away. - She had adopted Bono as a member of her family, and he has adopted her family too.
