Highlights
Pet care experience
Home Away from Home
I have lived with and care for dogs most of my life. I raised them from when they are puppies until their natural end of life. I have volunteered at a local shelter and received trainings in dog care and training. My house has a big yard which is totally and securely enclosed where dogs can run around and play. There are also a roofed patio, tree shades, and a doggie pool when they need to cool down.

Ratings and reviews
This was our puppy's first time being boarded away from home, and it was a great experience for us. We received daily feedback, pictures and videos, and our puppy came home happy, healthy, and sleepy:) Thank you Kate for taking such good care of our boy - we will definitely be rebooking again!
Kate was great! Very communicative and sent daily updates.
Kate was fantastic with Nova! She sent video updates throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. You could tell Nova was comfortable and well cared for.❤️
Always great! 😊 Thank you Kate!
Kate took care of our dog while we attended a wedding reception. We came from out of town and she made it easy and comfortable for me, a nervous dog mom ! She was friendly and professional and put us at ease .
great sitter! Our doggie is really well looked after and getting more socialized being around other doggies in a well supervised and controlled environment. Kate is great!

Schedule
I am retired and stay home most of the day. My neighborhood is safe and very fit for taking walks. I often take trips to dog beach over the weekends.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Since I am at home most of the time, I can keep eyes of your fur babies very closely. I have monitoring cameras so that Ican keep eyes on them even while I am out running errands, etc. I only take limited number of dogs (depending on their size and familiarity to my house) a given day so that everyone can have their own spaces. In an unlikely event of your dog needing medical attention, I will try my best to bring him/her to his/her vet, but in a more unlikely event of needing immediate medical attention, please understand s/he will be taken to the nearest vet. If your dog has any food allergies or restrictions, please make sure to mention it. Ther are a few houses in the neighborhood which offer free treats and my dog always beg for them during a walk.
Pets
A typical day
The yard is big enough to play fetch. I have toys and pool (in summer). I also have a separate enclosed area for a dog who prefers alone time. I take my dogs for walks for unset amount of time on unset schedule and usually one or two trips to Fiesta Island over the weekend. I take the dogs that I host to walk or beach, to the extent possible (unless otherwise requested not to do so). But, if you dog requires a certain length of walks or on certain schedule, please book walks, I do not offer stand alone walks.

- I thoroughly review the care information at the beginning of our time together. Please include as much information as you wish. For overnight boarding, please bring food in (a) sealed container(s)/bag(s). Snacks and bowls are optional. Bed/blankets and toys are also optional (I have some). Please leave things which you do not want to be broken at home. Some dogs like to chew on things.
