Pet care experience

While your away we are family!

My Husband and I grew up with dogs. I have many years of experience both with rover and my own dogs. This includes everything from puppy care to dog training, medications, and elder care. My fiancé has 11 years of canine handling experience including training and is a certified professional pet sitter through pet sitters international. We ran a dog day care with up to 25 dogs per day but now maintain a modest number of dogs at home. We see caring for your animals as taking care of our own while your away we are family!

Katherine and her husband were a great choice for our dog for an overnight stay. He was well cared for and had fun playing with their two border collies. I'd definitely recommend Katherine and co for your pup, and will bring our dog back there any time.

Katherine is wonderful! We are new to the area and my dog is experiencing some separation anxiety following the move. Katherine takes him on mid-day walks when I am at work. He comes home happy and tired! She is super flexible with accommodating schedule changes and is very responsive.

Katherine is always super great to work with and she was willing to go above and beyond while we were out of town during the storm! Highly recommend Katherine for your pet sitting needs!

Katherine did a great job watching our dog and my brother’s dog for a couple of days while we got married. She is very experienced in the field and we loved that she sent us both photo and text updates to share how the pups were doing. It was our first time leaving the dogs with non- family members, but she was trustworthy and awesome to work with! Thanks Katherine!

Pets

A typical day

In the morning they will get breakfast and will enjoy running and playing with our dog and kids. After our kids are in day care they will have the opportunity to run and play with any dogs we have at day care. In the afternoon the dogs and kids come home. Your dogs will have the opportunity for naps and playing in our large fenced in years. Usually in the evenings there are bonfires and hanging out. Dinner and cuddles are typical parts of every evening.

Katherine can host up to 3 pets per night
Typical things that we need to know are what they eat and how much. Also any medications that they may take or need. As we have children and a dog in the home we need to know how they may get along with them. Any previous training experience would be a plus.
