Pet care experience
I'm Katie, and the big guy in the picture is my boyfriend, Alex. We tag team our pups. I'm a teacher, thus I'm off in the summers and holidays and have great flexibility, plus Alex works from home so is available during the day for drop in visits and home play time. The dogs always have at least one, if not both of us at home with them at all time. We've both had at least one dog all our lives, so we know dogs! Big dogs, small dogs, old dogs, young dogs, they are all fabulous! Our own dogs are well-trained and super friendly. We love all dogs and are willing to come to your home and drop in to take care of your fur-babies, just let them out and exercise, or take them on full-blown walks; whatever you and your pooch require. We're happy to go for runs with your dog or a simple walk. We love playing fetch, I mean, what dog owner doesn't? ;) Your dog will be in great, loving hands when you hire us to take care of them!! We treat all fur-babies as if they are our own. Prior to their stay, we do require that the doggies have their flea meds and are up-to-date on shots; we can't control the flea/ticks in Texas ;). All dogs are given the same attention as our own dog. You need to be able to enjoy your free time with no worries or concerns and know that your baby is being loved and cared for while you are gone. We like to send frequent picture updates so that you can see how much fun your pup is having. Don't worry, all dogs are kept inside in the AC and they lots of playtime in the back yard. Please note, while we are extremely flexible with drop off and pickup times, know that if you need to pick your dog up after 6 pm on the last day, that an additional doggie day care rate will apply. We aim to give your baby the utmost care and that takes some work! Thanks!
Reviews
Very wonderful people. Always flexible with our schedules. Our dog Porter is always excited to go to their house and is always exhausted when he comes home from playing with their pup. Very thankful to have found such great sitters.
Katie and Alex are amazing every time we use them. Trustworthy and always quick to reply to messages! Not to mention Porter absolutely loves going to their house. I would highly recommend them for any pet care needs
Awesome as always!!
I really hate to leave bad reviews, but in this case I have no choice. Everything seemed fine in the meet and greet and when I dropped Sake off, but she came back home hurt and scared. Sake had gashes on both hind legs, and all of her back toenails were whittled down until they were bleeding. Katie gave me a story where Sake was spooked and ran around the parking lot, but that really doesn't explain why only her back toenails were gone. It seemed as if Sake was dragged, and she used her back legs to try to hold back. Sake also came back acting scared and she pottied inside the house (which she never does). I had high hopes in Katie since she was nearby, seemed nice in person, and I needed a regular sitter; but I'm disappointed that she didn't give me the real story of how Sake was injured.

Information Katie A. would like to know about your pet
We don't have breed preferences or restrictions, however we do like to know temperament with new people and temperament with other animals. This is in case we encounter another dog on our walk, we'd like to know how they'll react. Again, please have your dog on flea medicine as it's always flea season in Texas and we want to protect everyone that comes into our home. Since we live in an apartment, I can't guarantee no fleas in the area. We do treat our home monthly (to be safe) and our own dog gets oral flea/tick/heartworm preventative.
A typical day
We can go on walks in your neighborhood, play fetch (I can bring toys, or use yours), play tug of war.
