The Happy Furbaby Inn

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Kate! Instagram page : furbabyinn Dog sitting is a passion of mine that I have dedicated my life to full time. That's because I absolutely love what I do. I took on this career path after spending time working at a doggie daycare. And since then I have taken care of over 600 dogs. We have two doggies of my own and cats, and I generally host 10+ dogs at a time. We put in extra effort to make sure I have a safe and playful environment for the dogs and cats. A few ways that We ensure this is, by having a double gated fenced turf yard, and toys in so many materials, shapes and sizes so every dog who is unique in their own way can enjoy them. Your dog's happiness and safety will always be my top priority as much as I am sure it is yours. We will continue to do my best in taking good care of your pets. Please get in touch with me directly for availability :) My belief is that dog sitting in a house is the preferred or better option then doggy daycare. Due to it being a better environment, constant attention and care. As well it sets up a chance for not just me but my husband to also assist when I am in need of it. I tend to your four legged family like it is one of my own. I let my dogs out at least once every hour and play with them in my yard and I will always do the same for your pets. And you will never have to feel very far away from them as I will be sending you constant videos and photos of your pets playing, napping and enjoying their stay at my home. Don't worry I didn't forget about our feline friends. For cats, I have three tall cat trees and cat stairs on the walls. The cats get just as much care as the dogs. They have a plethora of toys and gadgets to play with as well. My own cats are very friendly, playful, and comfortable with dogs. I believe my house is an ideal house for both cats and dogs. So you have Chosen to Book with Kate What you should bring for drop off - Food/treats - Meds - Bed (if needed) - ETA before drop off What is provided - So not needed to be brought - Leashes - Harness - Toys (favorite toys if brought have chances of being torn apart)

Kate was amazing with Luna! She was also very communicative and sent photos of her interacting with other pups! I would not hesitate to send Luna to her in the future!!!!!

Kate was so gentle with my pups, it was their first time away from us. She sent pictures and videos of how they were doing, called when something happened. She gave them so much attention they were very well taken care of. They knocked out when we got home from how much fun they had. 100% recommend Kate. Will be going back to her when needed.

Kate provided my pup Minna a great first day ever of daycare. She helped provide me assurance Minna was having a fun time with photo updates throughout. Kate is a prompt and clear communicator. She took excellent care of Minna. Will be returning again soon.

Information Kate K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog needs special care and their daily routine is. It is also important for me to know what your dog loves most, treat and toy wise.

A typical day

I would love to exercise your dogs physically and mentally. I have a fenced yard and only turf for the doggies to run around in and still stay clean at the same time. This is our normal daily routine, but it still varies depending on if your baby needs less or more playtime — 06:45-07:15 first potty — 07:15-08:00 breakfast time — 08:00-09:00 rest time — 09:00-10:30 play time — 10:30-12:00 nap time — 12:00-14:00 play time — 14:00-15:30 rest time — 15:30-17:30 play time — 17:30-18:30 dinner time — 18:30-19:30 rest time — 19:30-21:00 play time — 21:00-22:30 rest time — 22:30-23:00 last potty
