Kathy is Nanny Pawpinz LLC managing director. She is happiest when she is out and about, bringing the joy of uniting a pet with their fur-ever family. As a DoDDS military brat she knows what it is like to change home locations and all the logistics involved. Responsibility, adaptability, and reliability are traits that she picked up via the many experiences of moving and traveling throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas. Kathy has been a small business owner for close to 25 years and a pet owner for most of her life. She currently has the privilege to share a home with Nash, a 13 year old rescue dog, who does not only visually resemble Benji!

Kathy was fantastic! She was responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and, most importantly, focused on ensuring me and the breeder were prepared and comfortable through the entire process. Kathy knows what she's doing and I couldn't have asked for a better flight nanny (truly)!
