FUR BABIES SPOILED HERE!
Hello! My name is Kateri and I have experience with small and large dogs from puppies to adults. It’s just myself, my husband and our 4 year old dog, Mazey, in the home. No children living with us. I honestly just love all dogs and want to see them happy. What brought me here was the fact that my sweet girl, Mazey, has expanded my time spent with dogs because of her love for dogs. She loves having dog parties when her fur friends come over to play and she also loves when we have dog visitors that stay the night or while our friends & family are on vacation. They play, rest, and train together! It’s the most beautiful and amazing experience to be able to spend time with, love, and keep these pups entertained and happy. They love wrestling in the house, going on walks on the bike path, having puppy pool days, and running in our fenced in yard. I have 5 watering stations (3 with purified water) so they always have access to water. I do put an air tag on your pup when they are playing outside or on walks. I send plenty of photos at the end of the day for you, and I offer FaceTime during the visits so that you can see your pup in real time, the FaceTime dates and times will be set when you book with me if that is something you are interested in. While the dogs are together they are supervised. When I’m sleeping they are separated. I do prefer that the dogs are crated when they go to sleep for the night, and they sleep in my bedroom with me. Crates are only used for sleeping at night unless otherwise instructed by you. I have extra space in my office and sunroom with a bed and couch for them. I am happy to provide simple training and baths as well if needed. I have a daily routine that is followed because I notice that they look forward to doing the fun things that they know are coming up next! Routine is super important. Simply put, I just want to see the fur babies happy and safe!

Ratings and reviews
Katie was wonderful sending us updates and was very flexible with drop off and pickup time. Would definitely recommend and rebook next time I’m back to Jersey
My dog had an awesome time with Kateri and the rest of the pups! Very flexible and easy to work with, and Niko had so much fun!! Fenced backyard was a huge plus and I felt at ease leaving Niko with her!
Loved Kateri and her awesome back yard! My one dog is anxious and doesn’t like a lot of people so her fenced in yard was appealing to me. Easy to just let her in and out and not have to deal with her grumpiness (my dog.. not Kateri) She kept me updated though the day and let me know the anxious one warmed up to her towards the end of the stay. I can’t wait to take my 2 dogs to her again and have a nice little beach day to myself! If was exactly what I needed. And on kind of a short notice too.. she was very flexible. Thank you again , Kateri! Bamma and Archee say hello! And Thank you too!
My puppy had a great time with Kateri. She was quick to respond to my questions and sent pictures and video updates.
Kateri took great care of Yeti and he came back after a long weekend exhausted from all of the fun he had! Kateri sent plenty of pictures of Yeti playing throughout the weekend which we really appreciated. We would definitely let Kateri watch Yeti again if we lived in the area!
Dogs had a wonderful time and I will definitely be using her again

Schedule
I am available most of the 24 hours a day and 7 days a week so any weekday or weekend unless that time is blocked out on the app. I am flexible with drop off and pick up times so just let me know if you need to pick up a little later. However, I do not do drop offs before 8 am or after 8 pm for overnights. You can book an extra day with me if your drop off time will fall before 8 am or your pick up time will fall after 8 pm! Overnights- We start the day with about 2 hours of exercise unless instructed otherwise by you. This includes lots of running and playing, such as, playing ball or fetching toys , and sometimes walks depending on the nature in which the dogs pull. We follow the exercise time by breakfast and a nap. After nap time we play in the backyard yard, which is usually followed by another nap. Before dinner we go on a short walk on the bike path (weather permitting and depending on the safety of the pups- if they pull to much I don’t like to take that risk. After dinner settles we get out some more energy playing catch or tug of war in the backyard. We also spend tons of time during the day cuddling and giving belly rubs and some time doing recall for treats if you’d like to send some. On warm days I allow them to go into the small puppy pool with your permission. They get plenty of rest in between the fun and the pups are super tired when they return to your home. My customers tell me that their pups sleep for 1-2 days after a long stay with me! Doggy Day Care Hours are anywhere between 8 am and 6 pm for drop off and pick up. If you’re dropping off in the morning, I will need you to drop your pup off by 8:30 am at the latest. The price for doggy daycare is significantly cheaper if you book more than 2 times per week. Please message me for pricing, I can adjust it before booking. If you need daycare hours prior to 8 am or past 6 pm, I can adjust the pricing. If you are requesting Doggy Day Care as opposed to Overnight then I will message you with additional information.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in back yard where they can safely play and a super friendly 3 year old dog named Mazey to keep your pet company. We also have lots of other dogs over. I do not feed the dogs together and do not allow bones in the house or yard when there is more than one dog so the dogs are always fed separately (I use gates to separate them in different rooms while they eat), as even the friendliness dogs have displayed food aggression. If you have any concerns or special requests that will make you and your pet feel more comfortable please let me know and I’ll be sure to accommodate you! Mazey has all of her shots and is up to date with all veterinary care. I do require a copy of shot records and flea prevention for your pup be sent to me or brought with you during the meet and greet that way no dogs are at risk and so that you have the security of knowing your pup is safe as well.
