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 & Co are amazing!! She is incredibly responsive whenever needed & she takes excellent care of my dog while I’m doing long shifts at work. Plenty of updates were sent & I can see my fur baby was happy & was in excellent hands!! The atmosphere is great & it feels like a home away from home for my pup 🐕

I continue to be impressed and grateful for the exceptional care provided by Kate each time I entrust her with my little man Gizmo. With each visit, Kate always exceeds my expectations I truly appreciate the pictures/videos she sends me updating me on how he’s doing, gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. Thanks again Kate! :)

This was my first time using Rover and I was pleasantly surprised how well it went. Kate did a great job with Parker my 6 month old puppy. I received photo and video updates over his multiple day stay. I will definitely be utilizing her again.

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
