Loving Home Away From Home

Dog loving family with many years of experience owning dogs. We have one fur baby, 5 year old beagle mix named Chip. Chip is 26lb bundle of love and playfulness and gets along well with large or small breeds. We have a large fenced yard and I am home full time. I can offer daycare and overnight boarding. I will care for your fur baby as I expect mine to be, like a member of our family. I prefer dogs that are crate trained in case I need to run errands and prefer not to let them run free inside with no one home. We get lots of exercise and cuddle time. Tell me what will make your pup happy and I will do my best to accommodate. I look forward to meeting you soon! I work from home so my time away from your pup will be minimal. We take lots of outside breaks, but, we keep them inside to relax and stay comfortable during harsh weather. I have a large fenced yard and two dogs that play gently with other dogs. I watch them at all times even when outside. They are never left unattended except for short errands and they will be crated during my absence. I have lots of experience with senior dogs and can accommodate their special needs including injected meds. Mini photo shoot is also included with your pet’s stay!

Katherine was great. I had never left Piper with anyone before. After I met Katherine at the meet and greet I felt very comfortable leaving Piper in her care. I just picked her up and I don't think Piper wanted to leave. I can tell she was loved on. I highly recommend Katherine and I will not hesitate to take Piper back if we need. Thank you, Katherine

Katherine was wonderful and I can't imagine how my dog could have been better cared for. I was slightly worried that he wouldn't want to come back home with me! Katherine sent frequent updates/pictures/videos and was exceptionally easy to communicate with. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her while traveling and look forward to rebooking with her in the future. Thank you Katherine!

Pepper really enjoyed her stay with Katherine. Katherine was very attentive to Pepper and seen that Pepper was allergic to her Seresto collar that I had just put on Pepper. Katherine removed the collar and gave Pepper and oatmeal bath to help with the itching. I am very pleased with Katherine and will not use anyone else. Thank you so much Katherine. Karen

I would highly recommend Katherine to watch your fur babies... she sends you daily updates/pictures of your babies. She treats them as her own. We will definitely be using her again!! Thank you

I have known Katherine for a long time and I have a chihuahua that will be turning 15 this year and she has always taken care of her anytime that I had to travel. I have had my dog since she was 5 mths old and she house trained my dog and also taught her commands and how to not bark all the time at every little sound. She has always treated my dog as if she were her own dog and I would never trust anyone else with my fur baby but Katherine!
