*DUE TO MULTIPLE ISSUES OF MISINFORMATION, AND THUS, SOME POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS FOR NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT THE ANIMALS INVOLVED, I WILL REQUIRE PROOF OF POSITIVE BEHAVIOR AT DOG PARKS BEFORE COMMITTING TO TAKING YOUR DOG TO THE DOG PARK!* https://mackintoshhomestead.my.canva.site/ I started watching family pets when I was a preteen.. I loved it, I had endless energy for them, they loved it; and if they wanted endless cuddles, I mean, they CERTAINLY didn't have to beg for it! I love all animals; furry, scaley, slimey, prickly, all of them! I have experience with special needs animals (medications, diet restrictions, aggression, fear, hyper) as well as senior animals- I love giving doggie massages, watching their eyes roll around while I get all up in their extra skin and rolls and love on them- I love talking to them while they take their time to get around.. I JUST REALLY LOVE ANIMALS OKAY?! LOL not in a crazy way, I just know we don't HARDLY deserve them <3 I have experience with grooming, minimally, as I have a dog that requires it (Irish Setter) and I am comfortable doing trims, but not full on grooms.. I would be happy to bathe and dry them as well! My 2 boys are about to start school again so I will have plenty of time on my hands! I am in the Yellow Springs area, right behind a nature reserve, so I have PLENTY of space for walks and bike rides and fetch! I love feline friends as well- I have 2 of my own- and they are ARGUABLY the best girls in the entire world... They each have their fun quirks and make my day enjoyable. I do have an automatic litter box, so no worries of your animals eating any nasty stuff.... We don't do that here... They LOVE animals, and are good about communicating nicely if not! have a ton of references I can give if you'd like! Just reach out! I'll be here!
Reviews
The dogs were well cared for. Kat made them part of her family and treated them as if they were her own pets. We received daily reports and photos from her. They came home clean and happy. Already booked our next appointment.
Katarinna was fantastic. My cat Shadow loved her. She was dependable and very thorough. We really enjoyed the videos and feedback provided by Katarinna. She was great and we will use her again.
Our pets are always happy to see her when we book! Great communication and on top of any unexpected issues that may arise.
Was available on short notice and our dogs love her

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, along with a portion that is not fenced behind it, that is available for animals who are recall trained. If I am not yet comfortable with your animal, they will likely remain fenced. If you have a JUMER (LOOKING AT YOU WEIMERS!!)- I do have a VERY LARGE garage that has a direct door to my room on it- so they would stay in there, safely in a crate at night, or free to roam during the day (under surveillance). I have a huge basement that is not fully finished; so if it is cold outside OR your pup likes to sleep in a crate, we would likely keep them down in the basement, where we know they will stay warm and looked after! My boys know how to safely approach new animals, and to give them their space when an animal communicates so. This is a calm household, we don't fight or yell or get loud- our rescue babies are triggered by that sometimes- so your animal(S) will be at peace <3 AND LOVED just a you would love them <3

Information Katarinna M. would like to know about your pet
I NEED to be made aware of the following- (NOTE: THIS IS SIMPLY SO I'M AWARE AND CAN PROPERLY ACCOMMODATE YOUR ANIMAL AND YOU!!) *Aggression patterns (leash reactive, food reactive, toy reactive, fence reactive, dog reactive, cat reactive, child reactive, etc.) *Allergies- food, environmental, medical, etc. *Anxiety behaviors (separation, loud noises, gender specific, etc.) *Age/medical related needs- any supplements needed, warming pads, incontinence pads, extra bedding, bandage changes, etc. *SPAYED/NEUTERED? *Crate trained? *any other restrictions or accommodations I need to know about to set your pup up for a comfortable and successful vacation!
A typical day
I have PLENTY of toys- from stuffed to puzzles! I have a dog park not even 5 minutes away, that is really well kept. I live off of a bike path that my dog Killian and I like to frequent for walks! Our house is nice and big so hide and seek is always a fun game also! We are never bored!! *Your dog will be exercised for minimum 15 minutes, 3 times a day (tug, catch, short walk/run) If you wish for a long walk or specific services, please ask ahead of time- we can discuss the charges then! Most boarding facilities will charge you for a 15 minute walk around a gated tile floor, these dogs have free roam access (unless specifically instructed otherwise), at all times. So taking them outside to exercise, is the equivalent of their time in the gated tile floor. I try to spend as much time outside as possible if the weather permits, and take the dogs on laps in our long back yard!

I am a stay at home Mama now- my boys and my husband rely on me keeping our house orderly and running smooth, and I love providing it! The guys are usually at hockey in the evenings, which means I get ample time to snuggle with my buddies! My animals are the first thing taken care of in the morning, and the last thing I say goodnight to at night! They're family!
