Your dogs are treated like royalty!

Pet care experience

Hello! First things first. A house full of dogs is my happy place. I’ve had them all my life and I’m experienced with all ages, including seniors (I have a soft spot for them). If your dogs stay with me they will be living the high life. Walks, treats (if allowed), cuddles and play time with my chihuahua, Waylon. He’s a very playful dog who loves just about every dog. I will ensure your dog is loved and cared for the same way you care for them. Every dog has their own personality and I understand that. I also understand how nervous owners can be putting their trust in a stranger. I will provide updates with photos so you know exactly how things are going. Can’t wait to meet your precious pooches!

Katharine is great. She was quick to respond to messages, provided daily updates with photos and videos, and was super flexible/accommodating when I had to adjust the drop off time. She also maintained Milou’s typical schedule and level of activity with lots of walks and dog park visits. Amazing! Milou seemed totally at ease with Katharine and her dog. Overall 10/10. Will book again.

Katharine was great but Waylon stole the show! They are a great pair and definitely made Tilly feel safe and at home. We were happy to be provided pics and videos while she stayed too. We also appreciated Kate took Tilly out for her daily walk, rain or shine.

Katharine and Waylon are the best! Oscar had such a great time playing with Waylon, and Katharine took such great care of my boy. Katharine is calm and patient with Oscar, who is high energy and a bit of a handful. By the second day, she had him settled into a routine that worked great for him. He came home happy, calm, and tired. I will not hesitate to board with Katharine and Waylon again if they'll have us!

Katharine was a wonderful sitter for Gus! She was understanding and kind and took excellent care of our little anxious Frenchie. She sent us daily updates, photos, and videos! We would absolutely book with Katharine again.

Please let me know if any dietary restrictions, behavioural issues and how they get along with other dogs. Please include if there are any health concerns or anxiety issues.

A typical day

We will go for a walk to burn off some energy and allow for play time with Waylon. He’s the house mascot and loves to welcome each dog by having a play session. I have 2 dog beds for everyone to get comfy or they can join me on the couch for snuggles. If the weather is nice, we will play in the yard and then another dog walk later in the day. If permitted, there will be healthy treats and snacks available!
