Experienced & Loving Pet Caregiver

Pet care experience

We are Kate and Chris and we LOVE dogs! You will be greeted at drop off by either one if us or both of us some days. When your dog stays with us we will treat them just as our own, with love and lots of attention! Our goal is for your dog to feel right at home while they stay with us! We send regular photo updates to you so you can rest assured your pup is being well cared for. We have 2 dogs - a 1 year old male Pomsky named Apollo & a 6 year old female German Shepherd/Mastiff mix named Zola. Both of our dogs enjoy getting to visit and play with the other dogs who visit. ***All dogs are required to be up to date on all vaccinations - request of proof at any time. We will not provide any services without proof of vaccines prior to confirming any booking. *All dogs must get along well with other dogs. Dog aggression will not be allowed/tolerated. ***MUST BE GENTLE AND BABY/CHILD FRIENDLY.*** We have an infant and will not accommodate or tolerate any type of aggression that puts our baby or other dogs at risk of any kind. If you are unsure if your dog would do well with a baby.

Kate and her family were wonderful. Piper was very happy there and communication was great.

My family and I had a 3 day 2 night stay at the Kalahari resort and we needed last minute boarding, that’s when I came across Kate’s service on Rover. I can honestly say Kate was an amazing sitter for our big fur baby! First off he’s a big dog (cane corso) and never been away from us so I was a bit nervous for him, but Kate kept us informed on his stay & any concerns she had she didn’t hesitate to communicate. From the pictures that was sent I can tell our dog was very comfortable☺️ I HIGHLY recommend Kate for any sitting/boarding services! Thanks Again!!! The Taylor Family❤️

Kate was wonderful and provided lots of information and pics on how Roxy was getting along with her dogs. If we are in the area again, we would be happy to have Kate take care of Roxy again.

Kate was wonderful! Very flexible with our unsure schedule! Sent numerous reviews to us throughout the day, reassuring our new puppy was in good hands! Would recommend her to anyone! If we’re in the area again we will definitely be using her! 5 out of 5 starts for sure!

Dogs that visit us get to be a part of our home and will be treated as one of our own. Crate training is REQUIRED for our home. I am not able to accept dogs with separation anxiety or other behavior challenges at this time. Dogs will only be crated for nigttime when we go to bed or if we have to leave briefly & can not take the dogs with me. Otherwise your dog will have free roam while visiting and one on one care and attention. We do have 2 dogs of our own that get along well with other dogs so all visiting dogs must be dog friendly and not be aggressive. Your dog will be able to have regular potty breaks every 1-2 hours and frequent outside time. Photo and text updates always included during any stay.
