Availability

My schedule revolves around feeding, checking on animals, and spending time outside throughout the day, so adding additional pets into that routine is very manageable. Dogs staying with us get multiple opportunities for outdoor time, exercise, and attention. Because I’m home frequently and spend a lot of time on the property, I’m able to regularly check on animals, maintain consistent feeding schedules, and make sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

When pets stay in my home, they are cared for as part one of family. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are energetic and love to play or prefer a calmer environment. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away.

Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet

What’s most important for me to know is if your pet is house-trained, crate trained, and friendly with other dogs and livestock. I am not comfortable with an unfixed male dog. My cell: 724dash554dash4928

A typical day

Activities for pets depend on their personality and energy level and can include playing fetch, exploring the yard, running, and supervised outdoor time. I also provide plenty of attention and companionship to keep them happy, engaged, and comfortable while ensuring they have a calm environment to rest when needed.

Pet care experience

My husband and I live on a private, fully fenced 5-acre farm where animals have plenty of safe space to relax and explore. For dogs, we have a large enclosed Florida room that provides a comfortable indoor space to play, relax, and stay cool during the day, along with plenty of room outside for exercise. I’m very experienced with active, outdoorsy dogs and making sure they get the attention and activity they need. For horse owners, I offer private pasture boarding so each horse (or horses from the same owner) has their own field. Every pasture includes a 24x24 pole building for shelter from the Florida sun and weather. I also provide coastal round bales, and boarders are welcome to store grain in the barn if needed. Trailer parking available as well as an RV hookup for overnight travelers.
