If your pup is crate-trained, I ask that you bring their personal crate for boarding. Pups tend to feel more comfortable in the crate they were trained in, and so I want to make their stay as stress-free as possible. 🐶 Because I pay close attention to every detail, you can rest easy knowing your pup’s routine will be followed with care, any issues or possible concerns reported to you, all in a safe, spotless, and welcoming home. 🐾

A typical day
A typical day with me is full of fun, fresh air, and plenty of tail wags! ? Morning starts with fresh air! We begin the day with a refreshing walk around the neighborhood, letting your pup stretch their legs and take in all the exciting sights and smells. ? Backyard playtime! I love being outside, so we’ll spend time in the fully fenced backyard, running, sniffing, and enjoying the sunshine. Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or simply lounging in the grass, there’s plenty of time for play and relaxation. ? Mental stimulation & enrichment. Throughout the day, I make sure pups stay engaged with enrichment toys, and positive interactions. Keeping their minds active is just as important as physical exercise! ?️ Meal & hydration breaks. Feeding schedules are followed exactly as needed, and fresh, filtered water is always available to keep your pup happy and hydrated. ?️Rest & relaxation. On hot days, we take breaks inside, where it’s cool and comfortable. Whether it’s a cozy nap, some belly rubs, or quiet time with their favorite toy, I make sure every pup feels safe and at home. ? More walks & outdoor time! Depending on your pup’s energy levels, we’ll go for more walks or enjoy some extra backyard fun. ? Winding down for the evening. After a fun-filled day, we settle in for a relaxing evening. Whether it’s cuddle time, a final potty break, or a little more play before bedtime, I ensure every pup ends the day feeling happy, comfortable, and loved. Every day is tailored to your pup’s needs, keeping them active, mentally stimulated, and feeling right at home.

Pet care experience
Hi there! 👋 I work from home and have always had animals as a big part of my life, so I truly understand the love and companionship our furry family members bring. My home is pet-friendly with a large, secure backyard where your pup can play and feel safe! 🏡 I also love providing dogs with socialization and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged! 🎾 Just a quick note—while I encourage social interactions, this isn’t a substitute for formal socialization training if your pup needs it. Can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged friend! 🐾
Reviews
You can tell Boba had a great time with you and Olivia. Thank you so much for taking good care of him. The photos are great! He was so tired on the ride home.
Katharine did a great job taking care of our dog for day care. She took her on several walks during the day, sent a few updates via Rover and took lots of photos. Our dog had a lot of fun, got great exercise, and we would definitely ask Katharine to take care of her again
Amazing! Katharine was so accommodating. Rocket loved going to her house.
An absolute delight to have her watch my goose. They went on walks. She was very great with communication on how he was doing. Sending pictures. Would love to have her sit for him again.
