Pet care experience

Secure outdoor play to puppy pile!

A longtime client once told me his dog used to get excited when he turned onto my driveway — now she starts doing zoomies the second the travel pouch comes out. That’s the energy here. Your dog won’t be kenneled or randomly mixed into chaos — they’ll be thoughtfully integrated into a carefully curated group that matches their temperament and play style. I don’t throw dogs together; I build balanced packs. My resident dogs are stable, well-socialized, and help set the tone, creating a calm, structured environment where everyone knows the rhythm of the day. I’ve lived with dogs and horses since I was six and have fostered over 350 rescue dogs (usually 3–4 at a time, not all at once!), so I’m comfortable with everyone from energetic puppies to grumpy seniors who value their personal space. I live and work on a farm with large fenced areas, structured play sessions, intentional rest time, and two daily walks. There’s even a supervised dip in the spring pond for water lovers. I work from home most days, so there’s steady supervision and real engagement — not just containment. My own dogs sleep with me, but I respect and follow whatever house rules you have for yours. Your buddy will be safe, warm, well-managed, and genuinely part of the pack while you’re away — and chances are, they’ll be counting down to their next stay.

Katherine was the perfect choice for our dogs while we were away. She understands dogs and made all the adjustments our dogs needed to be safe and secure.

I felt totally worry-free leaving my spaniel with her for a week. You can tell she is super experienced and has a beautiful property set up perfectly for dogs to be comfortable during their stay.

Abby Loves going to Katherine's, her tail starts wagging as soon as we go up the drive.

Katherine was amazing with Mr. Bruno! She kept me updated with pics and messages, and he was so happy in her care. I’ll definitely book with her again!

Our Newfoundland was expertly taken care of. She was happy when we came back, but I think a little sad to leave all her new friends. Would definitely recommend and use again, she is great with the large breeds and has a great understanding of their behavior.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fully fenced yard with a new section I have left intentionally wild so the dogs have a wonderful place to explore and use their sniffers. I usually have some friendly playful pups to keep yours company. I also have the ability to separate dogs if need be. I have crates of all sizes. Your pup can have his pick of beds to nap on. All dogs are fed and given treats separately. Dogs are walked in my pastures and along the creek.

Your buddy will go on nature walks and have access to a spring pond for the water lovers. I happily will play fetch or frisbee. I have a new yard I am keeping wild so dogs can use their noses!

I love the meet and greet as a way to get to know your dogs temperament and socialization skills. It’s also where you can share how your dog spends his/her day and what I can do to make his/her stay comfortable.
