Cool mom! To kiddos and doggos!

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old and was the neighborhood dog-sitter. Now, I’m still the neighborhood dog-sitter in my new neighborhood and have two pups with my husband and two girls that we love and adore. They are the BEST running buds and the sweetest cuddlers! I am a full-time stay-at-home mama to our two little girls and our two bernedoodles! Our two pups are 5 and 6 years old. They are bundles of joy and energy which makes for a really great time and great friends to your pups while they stay with us! I can meet whatever needs your pup has, whether medical needs or just other specific needs in general. One of our pups has Addison’s disease so I’m acquainted with steroid administration and recognizing behaviors that may indicate something is not right early on. He’s been in crisis before and we have been able to catch it quick and immediately get him help to save his life! Our hope is that your pup doesn’t have this happen while he/she stays with us, but just wanted to disclose that for any worrying hearts. We have a big fenced yard, but it does have a pool, so if this may be an issue, just let us know and we can leash your pup to take him/her out and go on early-morning walks instead to beat the heat!

Where to even begin!! Katie did such an amazing job caring for our dog! From the moment we dropped him off, I felt completely at ease and had so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. She did an incredible job communicating with us and sending pictures/videos, which we really appreciated while we were away. It was clear that he was loved on, cared for, and treated like part of the family the entire time. We picked up one very happy and healthy dog! Of course, he’s so happy to be home with us, but we can tell he had such a great time and was so well taken care of. We are incredibly grateful to Katie and would absolutely trust her with him again!

I absolutely love Katie, she has a wonderful and genuine personality. She took great care of my baby! She kept me informed every day and eased my anxiety having to leave my baby for the first time, she was quite accommodating and willing to meet me, I most certainly recommend her and she will be my permanent doggie sitter.

Katie took excellent care of our sweet Maggie. She sent photos and videos daily. I would highly recommend Katie for any of your pets needs.

Katie took such great care of our two dogs for over a week! She gave them plenty of loves, walks, and sent us numerous updates. She gave them time alone as well in a secure environment. We are so happy with her service. We will definitely be using her services in the future 🥰

Katie was amazing! She responded promptly and was very flexible and accommodating to our needs/schedule, and I felt confident my dog was being well taken care of while in her care. Will definitely use her again in the future!

Katie was awesome! Our pup got plenty of exercise and had a great time hanging out with her dogs and family for the week, Katie sent updates to let us know how he was doing (and took some cute pictures of him too!), and she was so flexible with our ever-evolving travel schedule for drop-off and pickup. We will definitely be back!

Schedule

I’m home full time so taking care of our toddler, baby, and two pups is my job! In the morning, we go for a jog while it’s cool. During the day when it’s hot, we play indoors with bones and tennis balls (our dogs are intense chewers so this helps them tremendously when the summer heat is too much for them)! In the evening, we go for a short walk around the neighborhood (1-2 miles) to get any last sniffs and poos out before bed! We can also accommodate any specific requests. We also know that some dogs are unable to keep up with that activity level so we accommodate for that as well with more cuddles and less activity!

A typical day

We will be sure to have a great time! One walk/run is guaranteed per day, and we can arrange for more if your dog is an active pup! I’ll go easy on the dogs who don’t care for that much activity. We’ll play a good bit and be sure to snuggle up at the end of the day. Our dogs need daily brushings, so we do that at the end of the day if your dog needs a brushing, too! If we have to go somewhere, we’re riding windows down (safe height!). Any questions/concerns/preferences, just let me know so I can accommodate for you!

Let me know if your dog has any unusual behaviors or any likes/dislikes that I should know and account for. For example, one of our dogs does not like windshield wipers and can put us in a dangerous situation while driving if they are turned on. On the flip side, he LOVES air vents and fans, so we try to make sure we can turn on the fan for him to enjoy!
