Lots of Cuddles, Love, and Care
Pet care experience
Your dog is guaranteed fun and love when they come to visit with us! We know your dog is part of your family and we know how tricky it can be finding a place where your dog can stay and be safe, have fun, and be loved. We will offer you that peace of mind. We've grown up with dogs in our lives, and have experience taking care of our own dogs (young, adolescent, and elderly) as well as our families' and friends' dogs. We've always been happy to share our home. We've moved since starting up with Rover and now are in an apartment. BUT our unit backs up to a huge fenced in dog park where we cam spend much time. The dog park is just perfect for running, playing, and exploring (amd there's an obstacle course!) and the neighborhood has plenty of trees to sniff and sticks to chew. For the more laid back dogs (or the active ones who get all tuckered out playing with us), we have lots of cozy spots around the house for comfy lounging. And if they are up for it, we love a good cuddle! We live in a very pet friendly neighborhood. It's a great spot for taking walks, but there are also nearby walking/hiking trails that we are happy to visit. Always up for an adventure!
Reviews
Will definitely be reaching out to Katherine in the future if needed! She was great about sending pics and letting me know how the visits went. Thanks Katherine!!!
Duncan LOVES going to Katherine’s. He knows when we’re getting close to her house and gets so excited. He had another great visit! Thank you!
We left our 2 dogs with Katherine for 8 days. She is very friendly, and has a wonderful large fenced in back yard for the dogs to run, which is a major reason we went there. Her own Golden Retriever was easy to get along with as well. Unfortunately we feel after our experience our dogs were not a priority at all to her. We only received texts twice from her without requesting an update. We were rushed out when dropping them off and picking them up (the concern being about giving instructions or receiving feedback). While it may have been something they ate in the outside that morning, both dogs came back bloated and throwing up all day. Finally we left her about 14 diarrhea pills in a prescription container, and all but 2 were gone (yet she had not given them any, so where did they go? Did one the dogs eat them?) It certainly may have just been a series of misadventures, but we are less than pleased and would not be comfortable returning
Another great visit with Katherine! I know Duncan is in good hands when he’s with her. He always comes home happy and tired from all the fun.
