A fun place for your best friend!

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 yard, good for running and chewing on endless supply of sticks. I’m a stay at home mom to my 4 kids and 2 pups so I’m flexible and available most of the time. I have flexible drop off and pickup times, and can do drop offs for an additional fee when needed. We live on 2 acres that gives plenty of room to run. It is an in fenced yard however we are equipped with an electric fence, that IF and only IF the dog has it at home or the owners agree I can train dogs using our flags and collar. I have 2 Bernese Mountain dogs so, very used to big dogs. My puppy 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!

Oakley absolutely loves to see Katie, Monty and his pals. He cried pulling up to her house at drop off knowing exactly where he was, and what fun was to be had!! Katie always provides photos of our best boy, and really gives an all around great experience for both our family and pup. We’re so grateful for Katie!!!

Katie was wonderful taking our big boy last minute!! We got so many updates and knew our boy was so loved on. We’re so thankful for her hospitality she gave our pooch, and peace of mind to our family. We can’t wait to use her in the future!!

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.
