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. Ps. If the pick up time is 2-5 later than drop off, a half daycare would be added. If it is 5+hrs, a full daycare ($50) charge would be added.
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

Happy Furbaby Inn
Pet care experience
Hi my name is Kate! Instagram page : happyfurbabyinn I am currently in a two year program to become a certified dog trainer. Pet care 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 1000 dogs. I currently have one other staff member besides myself and my husband, Wayne, so the furbabies will be supervised almost 24/7. We have two doggies of our 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. We understand that you will miss your furbabies, So we do send 2 sets of photo updates around 9-11am and 3-5pm. 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 our 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 than kennels. Due to it being a better environment, constant attention and care. We treat your four legged family like it is one of my own. We let the doggos out at least once every 2 hours and play with them in my yard. 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)

Thank you for all the great pictures of my girl having fun!
Milo had a blast! And he is a sensitive guy, bad guys make him anxious and he was confidentand and happy go lucky when i picked him up.. i appreciated the last minute accommodation our usual sitter moved. Great communication, Loved the updates while i was stuck at work. We will definitely be repeat customers.
Kate is a stupendous dog sitter. She clearly loves dogs and enjoys her job. She's also extremely competent and professional, from welcoming us promptly at the gate to the very thorough report card. Her whole house and yard is designed for dog sitting. She vets all her dog clients for safety and compatibility and asks detailed questions about history, behaviors, needs, preferences, etc., which really put us at ease, knowing our boys would be safe and attentively cared for. She's friendly and easy to work with, and takes great dog photos to boot!
Kate(& Wayne) were fantastic! Accommodating, communicative, caring, and kind. My boy was in good company all day, with plenty of socialization, activity & engagement, in a safe, tidy environment. Would definitely book again. Thanks!
