Pet care experience
Hello fellow pet lovers, my name is Katie. My husband, son, daughter and I live in a three-bedroom house with a large fenced in yard in Dalevue, just a mile from the Penn State campus. I am a stay at home mom and provide Rover services full time. We enjoy our hound mix and would love to share our love with your fuzzy family members, too! I raised and trained service dogs as a volunteer for 15 years. I have interned at a local service dog organization in Harrisburg and taken many animal behavior/care classes through Penn State. My care experience includes various medically complex and aging animals including cats, dogs and rats. I would love to discuss your specific animal care needs so please reach out to me with any inquiries. I know that each animal has their specific quirks and expectations and I am more than happy to make a personalized plan to take care of your special furry friend! Drop offs and pickups occur between 730am and 8pm due to family obligations. If you would like a late night pickup or early morning drop off, we’d be happy to keep your furry friend an extra night.
Reviews
5-stars, no question! Thank you Katie for taking such good care of our boy, Cosmo, and making sure he had everything he needed. Katie was super friendly and knowledgeable. And provided lots of great updates on our young, energetic German Shepherd as he ran around her big backyard and got to play with other dogs all week. Perfect for him! And for us. It's clear he had a great time and was well cared for. Will 100% be using her services again.
Katie was fantastic! Very responsive, proactive updates and tons of shared photos. I didn’t worry once about my fur baby. Highly recommend!
Katie did an amazing job with my pup! My dog is a little nervous when separated, but Katie made her feel right at home. Will be booking again with Katie for sure!!
Katie and her family provide such wonderful care to our dogs. I would highly recommend for boarding and/or daycare.

I offer daycare and overnight boarding services at this time. We have a series of gates set up to enable separation when necessary, but most dogs spend their days playing with each other.

Information Katie F. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has behavioral challenges I always encourage transparency. I cannot protect my guests if I don’t know their personal challenges. Any allergies or sensitivities are also very important for me to know ahead of time. Please include a written note about your friend’s feeding and medication needs.
A typical day
Your dog will enjoy meeting new friends, playing fetch and getting lots of cuddles. They will also get to enjoy the freedom of a big fenced in yard to play chase with our family dog until they are ready for nap time!
