About Katie E.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Fully fenced in yard, about 2 acres. Lots of shade, wooded areas and also places to sun bathe. Inside the dogs are free to move about the house with us. If someone is not home, dogs are either gated or crated depending on your dogs normal preferences.
Information Katie E. would like to know about your pet
Because of the kids I need to make sure your dog is kid friendly and likes other dogs, so a meet and greet is required prior to booking.
A typical day
We spend most of the day outside playing fetch, chewing sticks or just chasing each other. If it’s nice out I try to take the group on a walk and there’s always a nap time, my dogs are usually the ones who start it and eventually the other dogs give in and crash.

Pet care experience
I’m a lifelong dog lover who has come to appreciate the value of having a dog who is raised in a loving, safe family environment. My goal is to make sure that your dog feels the same love that my dogs do when they’re with me and my family. I have 4 kids who will make sure that your best friend goes home good and tired after a day of running around! We have a large fenced in yard, good for running and chewing on endless supply of sticks.I have 2 Bernese Mountain dogs so, very used to big dogs. My female is not spayed and therefore I will not accept any male dogs who are still intact. I have crates (big and small) if your dog is crate trained. Otherwise we gate them in our dog room for when I leave the house. We take group walks in the neighborhood and play pretty much all day! I am available weekdays between 7:30am- 7pm, I do have some obligations depending on the day (school drop off and kids sports in evening) but very flexible. Weekends: 9am- 9pm I do have a few dogs each day for daycare so there’s always plenty of friends to play with. Overnight dogs are welcome to sleep on the couch, In the kids rooms or in my room but my big bERNERS already have the bed and there’s just not enough room for others ha! As a general practice I do not take bully breeds, German Shepards or crazy high energy dogs. I am not a commercial operation, this is my home and dogs need to be able to acclimate and have appropriate house manners.
Reviews

I’m so glad we found Katie and her family for doggy day care. Our retriever/border collie mix would’ve home alone but now she has somewhere to go play with other playful dogs in a fenced yard and access to indoors. She has everything she could need to be comfortable and she comes home happy and rested. It’s such peace of mind for us. Thank you Katie!

Katie provides a wonderful environment and experience for my dog Buddy.

Buddy is very happy to stay with Katie and her dogs!

Katie is a great sitter and my dog loves staying with her!
