E just completed our puppy Haley's training with Kathy. Kathy is a gift to those who hire her. Our puppy listens and understands commands. She is so excited when she does well and is praised. Kathy's technique is patience!! And it works. Thank you Kathy read more

Kathy has helped us with taking care of our animals at our home while we are away. She has truly been a godsend. She is so caring and I know our fur babies (cats, dogs and rabbits), as well as our turtle, fish and even my husband's hawk (he is a falconer) are in excellent hands. She sends pictures of our pets which eases the worry while we are gone. We have had other pet sitters and Kathy has been the absolute best. I can go away without worrying at all. We have some odd things, (feeding the hawk raw quail) that we needed done and she has been a trooper in doing them all and then some, like bringing in the mail and putting away garbage cans from the street and even watering plants. Kathy has also done some in home dog training consults with our dogs and I really like her style of dog training, very practical, respectful, and realistic. She is so knowledgeable and she's such a joy to be around. We are really going to miss her when she moves but are so grateful to have had her in our lives over the years. Cheers to her new adventures. read more

Kathy is amazing! She is so loving and patient, the perfect caregiver for our two Goldens. She is also very professional and her communication platform was so easy to use. Pictures and videos with every visit, just like she promised. She handled a small heath problem with great care. She took away the stress and worry, so we could have a great time away. We highly recommend Kathy and are grateful we found her. [ot Add read more

Kathy has been pet-sitting our German Shepherd and 3 other cats for 2 years whenever we go out of town or are on vacation. She is wonderful with all of our pets, even one of our shy cats have come out to be petted by her. It is always hard to leave your fur babies behind when we go on vacation, but we feel comforted that they are in good hands with Kathy. Kathy always provides us with daily updates and pictures. Whenever she sees anything amiss, she lets us know immediately. Your pets and home will have excellent care with Kathy. read more

Kathy connected with my cat right away. I knew that she would take good care of my cat and home. Her questions as to what I would like her to take care of, and information needed to to do a thorough and professional job in a compassionate and caring way , put any concerns I had at ease. Upon my return, I was met with a happy and healthy cat. I could tell that everything needed was taken care of. read more

I emphatically trust that my puppy is in excellent care with her. read more

See all

Kathy Longwell, the owner of All God's Creatures, is a magician. My two rescue dogs (each 50 pounds, one puppy and one older) were out of control when we walked. Kathy taught us impulse control, how to handle dog reactivity, and loose leash walking. She uses proven techniques, and she stuck with us until the dogs both got it. Kathy still comes regularly to walk the dogs, feed them if I am in the city for a long day, etc. and gives them a 'tune-up'. She's 100% dependable, reliable, and a brilliant dog trainer. read more

Kathy Longwell, owner of All God's Creatures ModestoCa is an amazing personal dog trainer! We adopted a German Shepard mix puppy (our first dog) and we really didn't have any skills to handle her reactivity or impulse control issues. We also lacked basic awareness of how much mental stimulation this breed really needs. Our puppy was all-consuming and demanding of our attention all day long before we started training with Kathy. Kathy has taught us many techniques to deal with the issues were were facing, along with other techniques to satisfy our dogs mental and physical needs. We couldn't be more satisfied with the service that Kathy has provided us so far. read more

Kathy has been taking care of our dogs and cats over the years and has always done an excellent job. she obviously loves pets and always puts the pets' welfare first. You can't find a better person to care for your animals. read more

Kathy is the best. She has a lot patience. You will leave your pets in great hands.

Having moved the area a couple of years ago with my two old dogs, I was in need of a regular walker. Someone to come to my home and give my boys some attention and exercise while I was at the office, and occasionally overnight while out of town. After interviewing several walkers, I selected Kathy. She was the most prepared and professional animal-care person. Over the years Kathy became an extension of our fam; I always knew that my boys were in good care with her and she kept an eye out to make sure things were in good order around the house. Kathy is communicative, reliable, kind, and takes looking after our furry family members seriously. I would highly recommend Kathy and All God's Creatures to anyone looking for animal-care services. read more

Kathy is amazing! She gave me so much peace of mind knowing that she was going to check on my pups. I work long shifts, and she even did extra visits when I got held over at work. I could not be more thankful! She always sent photos and updates so I knew when she had gone by too. The A team loves Kathy! read more

Dogspeak Dog Training - Dog Walkers Near Me

Review for Kathy Longwell by Nicole Puppy Training Where to begin?? I really can't say enough good things about Kathy. I never write reviews, but I felt compelled to because of her outstanding expertise and help in training my puppy. Kathy's professionalism, care for the dog's wellbeing, and ability to clearly and effectively communicate with me are only a handful of reasons why I'd strongly recommend Kathy's services to anyone. What I failed to realize in the beginning of working with Kathy is how much dog training involves human training...specifically training me, the dog owner. In order to get the most out of training, I felt I needed to keep an open mind to Kathy's suggestion and never take it personally. She truly has the dog's best interest at heart. For example, one suggestion Kathy made was to start loose leash walk training indoors, then in my backyard, then front yard, then finally sidewalks. (I compared the concept to a child going to kindergarten first, then elementary school, then high school, then finally college.) Implementing her input was the best thing I ever did! He walks really well on a loose leash now outside on sidewalks (at barely 5 months old!). Had I not checked my ego at the door and openly received and diligently implemented Kathy's sage advice, my puppy would never be as well behaved as he is. Do yourself, your dog, and our community a favor by hiring Kathy. read more

I am so thankful for Kathy! I recently brought home a German Shepherd puppy and started training her with Kathy right away. Kathy has taught me so many different tips and tricks to use during my training process that have made a tremendous difference in my puppies behavior. My puppy was also experiencing anxiety and Kathy has helped so so so so much! She is so patient and this is truly her passion which is why she is so good at what she does! Kathy is the best - highly recommend! read more

We are completely comfortable with Kathy or one of her helpers care for our pets in our home. We have used her service for short visits and several overnights. My wife and I completely trust her with our home and with our dogs and cats. Thank you Kathy! read more

Kathy has been taking care of our 8 cats and 2 German Shepherds for over a year and we are so fortunate to have found such a wonderful, caring and responsible person to take care of our "babies". We are completely at ease when we go away knowing that they are getting the attention and routine that they love, and Kathy also walks the dogs 3 times per week. Geneva and Shane get very upset if there is a change to their schedule with her - as soon as they hear her they are ready to go! I highly recommend her; I am sure you will not be disappointed! She has become part of our family too! Cathy H. Modesto read more

Kathy is absolutely wonderful! I have a high energy dog and I feel so at peace when she watches him. She always makes sure he is both physically and mentally stimulated. She really gets to know him and know what he likes! She never leaves without giving Murphy his belly rubs. The way she communicates about his care and daily activities is so thoughtful. She understands just how much we love our pets. I don't know what I'd do without her! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would!! We used Kathy and Meredith this past weekend to take care of our two elderly dogs for the first time. I had always boarded my animals before this. I didn't know how the dogs would be, leaving them at home on their own. I was so pleased, as was my husband of the care, the professionalism and the communication with us, the days we were away from home. Each visit was followed up with a text along with pictures of our crazy dogs. I really don't think they even knew we were gone!! I highly recommend All God's Creatures. They are the best. I look forward to using their services again and again! Thank you ladies! read more

Kathy is great with our dog and our dog loves being around her. Kathy is a wealth of knowledge and provides support when it comes to raising a puppy. I highly recommend Kathy read more

We have been using Kathy's pet-sitting services for 6 years for our dogs and cats and we are very happy with the level of care and love they give our animals when we are out of town. It has really given us peace of mind to leave our babies when we go on vacation and is so wonderful to get updates on them and pictures every day when we are missing them. Kathy's team is very trustworthy and reliable, I can not recommend her enough and we will always choose Kathy and All Gods Creatures for our pet-sitting!! read more

Kathy has taken care of our three and sometimes four dogs for either 6 or 7 years. Longevity, familiarity and consistency mean so much to dogs and their owners. Our family has been so fortunate to have Kathy in our lives. We appreciate all the pics, notes and especially, round trips Kathy has taken on so many occasions. read more

We highly recommend Kathy for both dog sitting and dog training. We have two dogs, one is a large breed rescue. Most pet professionals don't want to work with him because of his stranger danger issues. Kathy was willing to try working with him and after two visits had him won over,. He is always happy to see her. And her training techniques are easy to follow and equally effective for our dog and for us. Thank you Kathy! read more

I have used Kathy's services twice and I highly recommend her. She is extremely thorough and also very kind. Over the last 10+ years of boarding or having sitters, I have never been more confident in my animals' well-being than when they were under Kathy's care. Do yourself a favor and hire her. read more

Kathy and her team are awesome, we have used her services for our cats several times in the past three years. we never worry about cats when we travel. Our cats seem to be happy, well fed, and clean when we come back home. It's a great feeling when you are traveling and don't have to worry about your pets!!! i highly recommend them. read more

Five stars for this top notch pet sitting service. I never worry when Kathy is caring for my home and crew of kitties. She is completely trustworthy, thorough, loves the kitties, and takes great care of them. I like the flexible menu of services she offers, from a welfare check to a long visit with extra social time. Great prices. My kitties love their Aunt Kathy! read more

Kathy has been taking care of my fur family for over a year now, and we are so fortunate to have her in our lives!! My pets love her and it is obvious she loves what she does. Every time I come home from a trip or vacay all four of my animals are happy and well adjusted as though I never left. I really like that she has various pet sitting options for the needs of the clients and always sends pictures with every visit, so my mind is at ease. If you have senior animals or animals that need a little extra attention and don't do well with kennels, Kathy is the best option out there!!! She truly is 5 Stars and so much more :) read more

We used Kathy for the first time recently to pet sit our two senior beagles. I felt very at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. Kathy made sure our dogs were comfortable and happy. My kids loved the pictures and reassuring texts Kathy sent us while on our trip. I would definitely recommend Kathy to friends and family. read more

I can not say enough good things about Kathy. She cares for her clients and their beloved pets as if they were her own. Kathy runs her business ethically and professionally with care and compassion for your pets. A friend of mine told me about Kathy a year ago, and I'm so very grateful that she did. Kathy has provided me with so much peace of mind while lovingly caring for my dog. If you use Kathy, you definitely won't need to look any further for your pet sitting needs. She is also a beautifully wonderful human being. Btw - I NEVER post Yelp reviews...that's how passionate I feel about telling others how great Kathy is! read more

I have been using this service for almost three years and have nothing but great things to say. Excellence in pet care, with the utmost professionalism! HIGHLY recommend! read more

Kathy has been taking care of our Mollie for almost two years. She is very professional, trustworthy, and sincerely cares about the pets she cares for. I am so thankful that I found someone so responsible and capable of taking care of my "baby." We used to take Mollie with us when we would take off for a quick trip to the coast, or up to the mountains...but after she had two seizures, and started becoming more stressed with traveling on the longer trips that we took, we decided it would be better for her to stay home. I boarded her at a veterinary clinic for one trip, and when we returned not only did she seem scared, she was shaking, and had developed a cough. Needless to say, I did not want to leave her there again! On another occasion, I found someone local that said they would take really good care of her for a good price....only to find her starving, her water bowl empty, and crying to get out to go potty when we returned. I don't think they were making more than one visit a day (if that). I have to admit when I found Kathy's ad in the Modesto coupon book, I was not very trusting. After she came over for an interview, and I found out that she was licensed, came with excellent references, had many years of experience, and knew pet CPR...I felt more at ease. I was also very impressed when she took careful notes about my Mollies' requirements and was very thorough and professional. That was almost two years ago, and since that time I have felt completely at ease leaving my Mollie in Kathy's capable hands. Mollie absolutely loves her!!! Kathy has always been available to care for our Mollie (even on short notice)...she leaves detailed notes at each visit, and will even post pictures if you are on a long trip. Now when we return from our trips, Mollie is happy, relaxed, and very content, and so am I !!! Kathy has truly been a Godsend !!! Lisa read more

Kathy who is the owner of this Pet Sitting Service is absolutly wonderful! My husband and I had welcomed a new bouncy baby Boxer to our family a few months before we were leaving for vacation. Obviously the timing wasn't great but what can you do whenthat little face looks back at you...We were thinking of sending her to a Pet Hotel during our vacation since she a had a bit too much energy for my grandmother who watches our other kids (3 other dogs). The problem was that there wasn't any in our area. We struggled with the idea of sending her to the Vet to be boarded but accepted the fact that it was our last solution. 2 days before we left for our vacation my stomach was in knots with idea of leaving her in a cage somewhere without her brothers and sisters. I found Kathy on a pet sitters website, called her and she came over that night to meet me and the kids. Lily, my Boxer, fell in love at first sight and Kathy was very eager to learn all her commands so she could continue with them in my absence. Kathy has been a god send and I wish there was a way for her to truly understand the weight that she has lifted off my shoulders knowing my baby girl is at home with her brothers and sisters enjoying life when we are on vacation. Kathy comes and runs Lily for 30 minutes, checks on the food and water levels, feeds our saltwater fish 2 different types of food, brings in all of our mail and feeds our Rose Breasted Cockatoo...all for a very resaonable price...especially since she lives about 4 towns over! We are so happy to have come across her services and love knowing that our kids are in good hands when we are gone. Thanks Kathy! read more

Kellie M I recently found Kathy through a friend. All I can say is she is the best in the business. Not only did I get daily updates, she went above and beyond to make sure my pets were safe in a rain storm. I would highly recommend her services to anyone. read more

Kathy has taken care of our lab, Jake, for a few years now. When we go on vacation, we know he is in good hands. We have taken him to a kennel once before knowing about Kathy, and he did not do well at all. It's comforting to know he can stay home and Kathy is so trustworthy and friendly. And we love her updates on FB or via email/text! She keeps us posted on how he is doing while we are gone, and we love that! She even writes notes so when we get home we can read about how each visit went. She is the best! :) read more

Where do I begin? Kathy is such a sweet lady and was a total blessing to us! Before my fiance and I went on vacation, we thought boarding our cat was our only option but we struggled with the thought of him being stuck in a cage for 20+ hours a day. As I gathered the mail one day, I decided to browse through the coupon book I had received to see if I could find a deal for one of our local resturants and happened to stumble across a coupon for All God's Creatures. I thought to myself that this coupon had to be a sign of some sort. I was nervous about the cost for an at-home pet sitter but decided to check out her website as I was willing to pay a bit more knowing that he was somewhere where he was comfortable. I was very surprised to see that her prices were very comparable to those at the boarding house and our little guy got to relax in his own home. I emailed Kathy and we set up a time to meet. She made us feel very comfortable and Jax (the cat) loved her! While on vacation, she posted pictures to her facebook page so we could check in on him and we both looked forward to seeing new ones throughout the trip. Upon arriving back home, we were pleased to find Jax happy (although I think he was expecting to see Kathy walk through the door), all of our mail sorted on the counter and our newspapers that had been gathered were neatly stacked. We also were excited to see what we called a "Pet Report Card". It was a calendar that was filled in for each day we were gone telling us what kind of mood he was in that day and what they did during her visit. All in all, my fiance and I were very happy with the service she provided and will continue to use her services in the future. Kathy is so wonderful and I know Jax would rave about her too. read more
