Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog whisperer with cuddles to give
I have 16 years experience with different dog breeds ranging from German shepherd to border collie to chihuahua, and puppies to senior dogs. I’m comfortable helping dogs that are a little more unique, such as easily stressed and anxious. I currently own an 8 year old lab mix who has anxiety, but I luckily have a big fenced in backyard that helps a lot from her exercising. My fence is 6 feet high, so she’s unable to jump over it even when she jumps as high as a kangaroo playing frisbee. I love all dogs as if they were my own, and have plenty of toys for them to feel right at home.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kathryn did a great job with my 2 dogs with all the drop ins. The pictures helped me know that everything was ok. She has a caring way with the dogs.
Katie was so wonderful in caring for my persnickety dog. She sent me communications with plenty of pictures several times per day as I mentioned I was anxious to leave him. She also let him have a better vacation than his mama! He had lavish pet beds and fluffy blankets to lay in, went for walks and got to make new doggy friends! His favorite thing ON EARTH is sunshine and laying out and Katie was able to provide that for him. I couldn’t be more pleased with Katie’s pet sitting and ease to work with (frequent communication and pictures, quick responses and ease in dropping him off and picking him up). 10/10 would absolutely book again!
Kathryn took care of our Matilda for 4 days. Our sweetie came home happy, healthy and full of energy. She enjoyed doggie vacation with other furry friends , especially Rooney. Kathryn sent us many pictures so we didn’t worry about Matilda. I would highly recommend Katy she is caring, responsible dog lover
Katie hosted my dog Jazzy for an overnight practice run before a vacation. She made me feel completely at ease and my dog (who is a notoriously picky eater) ate his whole dinner and a bit of breakfast with no problems. Katie provided me videos and photos throughout his stay so I knew he was okay, and I couldn’t be happier to leave him with Katie in the future!
Our pittie Sandie is very anxious which made me nervous leaving her for 10 nights but Katie was so amazing with her! She treated Sandie like she was her own❤️ She sent pics, videos and updates daily which we loved. Her dog Rooney was so welcoming to Sandie, they were lil besties. While we were away on vacation, so was our dog! I will definitely book with Katie again in the future.
I brought my dog Jasper to Katie for a day visit in preparation for an overnight as he’s a little clingy and sensitive to changes in routine. He did spectacular with her. He was able to rest, go for a walk and Katie sent me so many wonderful pictures of him absolutely relaxed and having the best time. Katie was able to assuage my anxieties and treated my dog as if he was her own. I highly recommend!

Schedule
I work from home, and am able to have flexibility in my day to give your dog the attention they deserve. My schedule is open to take care of your dog for boarding, giving oral medication, walks, etc.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a 6 foot fenced in yard and an 8 year old lab mix who still acts like a puppy outside but acts like a grandma inside so your dog won’t be bored.
Pets
A typical day
My backyard is big enough for your dog to run around and round in with lots of smells for them to investigate. Also, I have plenty of toys, blankets, and games to keep your dog preoccupied.

- Please let me know if your dog may not do well with other dogs than my Rooney. I typically board 2 dogs as my max, but I can board only your dog if given prior notice. I’m very flexible with drop off and pick up times, so there’s never a need to stress about either. 😊
