Will welcome your pets as our own!
Pet care experience
I like to keep stays with me feeling like “home” for everyone (humans and dogs alike) so I never board more than 3 dogs at a time (in addition to my 2-year old Golden). I am also an approved foster home for Golden Rescue of South Florida and Big Dog ranch. After working extensively with a highly renowned local dog trainer, while I do not offer training myself, I do sprinkle all I've learned with all dogs who stay with us. With a fenced in backyard and plenty of beautiful spots on the water within walking distance, there's always plenty of activities for dogs to get tired out during the day, and they always love it.
Reviews
Katie and Lou (her puppy) were great hosts for Dirk! He was very well taken care of and we could tell he was very happy there.
Thank you so much Katie! We really appreciate how well you cared for our dog, the photos and how quick to respond you were! We hope to book with you again!
Crazy dog mom here... and yet, Katie B doesn't make me feel so crazy. She provides great care to my small 9lb dog (read "basically my first born child") and my mind is always at ease if I know she's watching her. She's great at picking up on my dog's cues and is always punctual for walks. She shares accurate updates about my dog and details of her walk. I have full trust in Katie to watch my dog and know that she's getting the best care when I'm unable to be around for adequate walks or overnight stays.
My girl Katie is the only person I’d trust with my fur baby. She ensures safety and fun, and her dog Lou is a fabulous playmate. She always is great with communication and sends lots of pictures/updates. My dog Darla loves going to visit. Highly recommend Katie for your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for your dog to run. My 2-year-old golden retriever loves to welcome new friends, as do my 6 and 9 year old sons. While my golden (Lou) is allowed on the furniture and no longer sleeps in a crate, we are happy to crate your dog(s) just as you would at home so they don't lose their routine. When boarding, we walk and play daily.
Home
Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet
Please be sure to let me know feeding schedules as well as where your dog usually sleeps, and whether or not they’re allowed on furniture (my pup is allowed on the couch and bed, however I never try to create new “bad” habits if a dog comes from a home where that’s not allowed). . I prefer to take care of dogs that have had at least some training and know basic commands. They must be house trained and not mark territory inside. They also must be good with other dogs and young children (9 & 6).
A typical day
We do lots of play time with the ball and stuffed animals, and at minimum daily walks to and from the bus stop and around the neighborhood, and up to 3 miles with younger/more energetic pups.

Availability
I work from home and have a 2-year-old golden retriever, so pups staying in my home will get to enjoy as much (or as little) interaction as makes sense for them. Typically the only time that pets are left alone is when I go to the gym or for real estate showings (typically 2-4 hours max), and depending on their individual needs and instructions left by you, will either be left in the main living area of my home, or crated.
