Doggie Vacay

Hello! My name is Kate, and, much like you, I am an animal lover with a soft spot for dogs.I have always lived in a house full of dogs, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. We will go running, swimming, hiking, and adventuring! We often visit fairs, horse shows, parks, beaches, and lakes! I have been pet sitting for over 7 years and always had pets of my own. I live near Fort Riley/ Junction City with my husband. We have 3 dogs of our own. I have volunteered for many years at an animal shelter in PA, worked at petco, and worked as a Kennel Tech. I am capable of administering many medications, including: shots, ear meds, eye meds, flea tick, heart worm, daily pills, antibiotics, and wound treatments. I also have experience handling and comforting dogs with anxiety, fear, and aggression. I prefer to do a meet and greet before stays, but my dogs are very easygoing and gets along with all animals so we can go without. I work from home, so the dogs are rarely alone. Pets must be housebroken and fixed. Fenced Yard. Flexible schedule.

Katherine is great! I feel at ease leaving my dog with her and she treats my baby like one of her own. My dog is always sad to leave because she has so much fun!

Kate was so amazing with Charlee! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone and I wasn’t worried about her at all. She was so welcoming and sent lots of pictures and updates.

Katherine and her family were wonderful to my dogs! She is very attentive to the dogs needs, and provided plenty of space for them to be active outside! She loved and cuddled them and I loved the pictures/updates she provided!

Absolutely amazing! I contacted her the morning of and she was able to take care of him. She was flexible and responsive when I had a change of plans. Also kept us updated with pictures, which put me at ease.

Katherine was great with my big dog! I appreciate her communication and “go with the flow” attitude. I hope we can utilize her services again!
