Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Katie and I'm here to help ease your burden of being away from your fur babies! I am happy to help with boarding and in-home daycare options for dogs under 25 lbs. I'm a lifelong pet owner and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have experience caring for many dog breeds, including shih tzus, beagles, labrador retrievers, poodles and many more! I love all breeds, but am especially obsessed with dachshunds because of my dog Stella! (And our dachshund who crossed the rainbow bridge, Lexi). I also have a 10 year old cat, Sansa, so can only accept dogs who are friendly with cats. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. If you have any questions, please let me know! :)

Second time having our dogs stay with Katherine and her husband and highly recommended! Our flight home got delayed and they were very kind and accommodating keeping the dogs for a few extra hours! The dogs love staying with them and playing with Stella :)

Highly recommend!! Katherine took amazing care of our pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They had so much fun during their stay and loved playing with Stella - it was clear they were comfortable and happy the whole time! Katherine kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats your dogs like her own. We will definitely be booking again!

I loved it. They're so nice and considerate. She let me know how my dog ​​was doing and what my dog did during the day, and even sent me videos and photos. My dog ​​loves Stella, and if you need someone to watch your dog, she's the perfect person.
