Lots of Love & Proffessional Care!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Katie and this is my husband, Abe! We're homeowners here in Columbia TN with a LOT of professional and personal pet care experience! As of this year, I currently work for a veterinary software company. But before that, I worked as a veterinary assistant. I am trained in CPR and am capable and comfortable caring for pets who are diabetic, or have other medical needs. I was also a lead pet specialist for a pet store where I specialized in reptiles and exotic pets for several years. We also have several reptiles of our own, so YES! We can board your scaly and feathered friends as well the furry ones! We love cats around here as well! Before moving to Tennessee, we both volunteered with a cat rescue group. My family has fostered over 300 cats and kittens since 2016! In addition to all of this, myself and Abe have both been pet sitters and dog walkers on and off since high school. Most of our boarders come to us from outside of Rover, so be sure to check our reviews to see what our previous clients are saying! Our emphasis is on having fun! We stay stocked on tons of toys and treats for both dogs and cats to make their stay as enjoyable as possible! When your pet is staying with us, they will never be left alone for more than a short period of time. You can be sure you're leaving them with someone who is not only passionate about pets, but also has the knowledge to ensure they are being cared for in the highest regard. We also try to be very flexible according to your needs as far as drop-off, pick-ups, and meet and greets! So what are you waiting for? Shoot me a message and let's see what we can do for your pet!

Katie was absolutely amazing what a precious person that truly has a love for animals. I was nervous about the leaving Doodle with a stranger but she made me feel so comfortable like I already knew her. She was so accommodating and made Doodle feel so loved. Thanks Katie you are the best.

Brownie has always been the most anxious dog, even being medicated for it. We were very nervous to let her stay anywhere that wasn’t our house. She stayed with Katie and Abe for 11 days and I couldn’t be any happier! She seemed to have a lot of fun and I got daily updates with pictures and all the stories! I wouldn’t trust anyone else

Absolutely fell in love with the way Katie the moment I met her. She took such great care of my sweet Ember (dog), Gremlin (cat), and Basil (snake) while I was away for the weekend. She kept me up to date on everything they did and sent me the cutest pictures of my dog while on walks and naps times with both cat and dog. I could not recommend her enough! She’s so sweet and gentle with not only my furry animals but my scales baby as well. Keeping her on speed dial for when I need a pet sitter!

Katie was my preferred petsitter for many years! She cared for my dogs, cats, and fosters and I never worried as I knew they were receiving the absolute best care possible. Katie has a great love of animals and is very knowledgeable regarding their behaviour and needs. She is experienced with medical issues, pill dosing, and special-needs animals. I would entrust any animal of any kind to Katie and know that they were looked after and loved as if they were her own.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is our number one priority for our own fur-kids, as well as yours! This is why our backyard is fenced in with a 6' privacy fence. Boarding pets are always kept separate from our own pets as an additional safety precaution. They will have their own cozy area set up in our guest bedroom with supervised outside time and potty breaks separate from our own dogs. (We do ask for the well being of our own pets, other boarders, and our personal safety, that all boarders are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and that you are honest with any of your furry friend's behavioral quirks. I also ask that you would leave us with your preferred veterinarian's contact information in case of an emergency, thank you)

Information Katie & Abraham H. would like to know about your pet

1. House broken / litter box trained? 2. Do they get along with other animals? (Even tho all boarders are kept separate from our own) 3. Any dislikes? 4. Favorite things? 5. Feeding / medication schedules (All food and meds must be provided by owner) 6. Are you able to provide vaccine records?

A typical day

For doggos: Lots of playing in our fenced yard, and splashing in the kiddie pool in the summer! And after a long day of play, some cozy naps on the couch! For cats: Cat trees to scratch and climb (that are of course, lightly sprinkled with catnip for some extra fun) and every cat's favorite- a bed by the window to nap in! For other animal friends: care and food according to the species and daily handling IF the individual animal enjoys it!
