I cannot recommend Colby and his wife highly enough! I was in a real pinch and needed a sitter at the last minute, and Colby was incredibly accommodating and gracious enough to host my dog on such short notice. It was immediately clear that they are true animal lovers. They took such wonderful care of my pup, providing a safe, welcoming, and attentive environment. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. If you're looking for sitters who are reliable, kind, and will treat your pet like their own, look no further. I will definitely be reaching out to them again! Thank you!

Colby and his family were absolutely wonderful with our dog Bindi while we were away on a family vacation. Bindi requires quite a bit of care—3 daily pills, eye drops, and extra help getting around due to a recent leg injury-and Colby and his family handled it all with such kindness and attentiveness. We received great communication and regular photo updates, which helped put our minds at ease. It was clear she was in a loving home-her kids even doted on Bindi! As an added touch, Colby noticed our poop bag holder was empty and refilled it without us even asking. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Colby and his family! Thank you!

Schedule

Pet care is an integral part of our daily routine at Knot-A-Kennel. Our schedule is intentionally built around the needs of the dogs in our care, ensuring they receive regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. Because we operate as a dedicated pet care business, we maintain consistent routines that help dogs feel comfortable and secure while they’re away from home. We carefully plan our day to provide supervision, enrichment, and a clean, safe environment, while also sending regular updates so pet owners know how their pets are doing. Whether it’s a weekday, weekend, or holiday, our commitment remains the same—to provide dependable, high-quality care that gives every dog the attention they deserve and every owner peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

To provide the best experience for both our clients and the dogs in our care, we have a streamlined meet-and-greet, drop-off, and pick-up process. For safety, privacy, and efficiency, all client interactions are handled outside of our home. This allows us to keep our home environment calm, minimize unnecessary distractions for the dogs, and make arrivals and departures quick and stress-free. We maintain a clean and organized space, prioritize safety at all times, and provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are receiving excellent care. At Knot-A-Kennel, we are committed to providing professional, dependable, and personalized pet care while creating a true home-away-from-home experience for every dog we welcome.

A typical day

At Knot-A-Kennel, we believe dogs need more than just supervision—they need engagement, exercise, and enrichment to keep them happy and healthy. We provide a variety of activities tailored to each dog’s age, personality, and energy level. Our guests enjoy supervised playtime, outdoor exercise, games, and plenty of opportunities to explore and interact in a safe environment. We also have dedicated dog enrichment equipment, including agility-style features such as ramps, tunnels, and other exercise activities that help provide mental stimulation, confidence building, and physical activity. For dogs that enjoy a more relaxed pace, we provide plenty of attention, affection, and comfortable downtime so they can rest and feel at home. We adjust activities based on each dog’s needs, whether they are a playful puppy, an active adult dog, or a senior dog who prefers gentler engagement. At Knot-A-Kennel, our goal is to make every stay fun, enriching, and memorable while providing a safe environment where dogs can enjoy themselves and owners can have peace of mind.

The most important things for me to know are if your dog has feeding instructions, medications, allergies, fears, triggers, energy level, potty habits, crate preferences, and how they interact with other pets and people. The more i know about your pet before their stay, the better i can provide a safe, stress-free, and personalized experience for them.
