9 acres of outdoor heaven
Pet care experience
Dogs are in every part of my life and I understand how important it is to be sure that your dog is safe and happy while you are away. I do my best to treat your dog the way I would want my dogs to be treated if I was to board them. My kennel is a remodeled state of the art horse barn, it’s fully insulated and heated. On top of it I have a fully insulated and heated dog room with a dog wash for extra cold days or dirty pups. My huge barn provides great opportunity for indoor socialization and activities on heavy rain days. My 9 acre property has multiple fenced yards and a direct access to hundreds of miles of hiking trails (please check prior to booking for requirements for going on hikes), it is truly a dog heaven. Your pet will be sound asleep as soon as he/she gets home from running around on the farm and they will be happy to come back here for more fun. For me living with and taking care of/training dogs is not a hobby it's a lifestyle. I have been successfully competing in AKC field trials with my dogs for 15 years, and I understand the exercise and engagement requirements of dogs of all ages. I recently moved to Washington from California and I would like to continue providing 5 star pet care services here. Dogs in my care are never left unattended when out in the yard, and I only take a limited amount of dogs to avoid overcrowding. I can do basic grooming like nail clipping, ear cleaning and basic pet haircuts as long as the dog is willing to cooperate. I love all dogs but definitely specialize in high energy dogs. Also, because of my kennel set up I can accommodate dogs that are not very social. My dogs are raw fed so I'm able to accommodate raw diet. Meet and greet is required for all new clients at least 2 days prior to boarding.
Reviews
Kat took fantastic care of our puppy dog! We were able to enjoy our vacation and knew our dog was in good hands. Kat sent us messages and videos throughout the week. I would highly recommend and will be using Kat again in the future.
Kat took excellent care of my two pups with her loving and exceptional care. She is very mellow and kind, which helps the dogs feel more comfortable. Kat’s property gave my dogs ample amount of space for roaming and exercise. She is also a dog trainer and so she is very experienced and knowledgeable in the care, treatment and interaction etc. with dogs. She really understands them and how they react to their environment. I will definitely board my dogs with Kat every time they need boarding!
My dog Ember had a wonderful stay with Kat! I received video and pics and I could see she was running and playing and so very happy. I am thrilled to have found Kat, she took such good care of my 9-month old!
Kat was a great host for Finn. This was his first overnight stay and he had a fantastic time. It’s very clear that Kat is a dog person and has built her property with them in mind. Her kennels are clean, spacious, and furnished with top notch amenities. Her property is dog safe and gives the pups an incredible amount of room to roam and play. Kat was responsive and kept us updated with pictures and videos during Finn’s stay. We came home with a tired puppy, which is a happy puppy. Overall very impressed with the service Kat provides.

Pet care is my full time job. The day starts with a potty break for all guests and continues with feeding time. Two more long outings during the day followed by dinner and another potty break. Last potty break is around 10pm.
