Availability
I am home most of the day with the exception of 2-3 hours when I take my kids out for fun adventures and errands. My husband, Joe, helps with all aspects of the pet care and may be the one to greet you upon drop off. Your pets will be integrated into our day of play, learning and chores while they make other furry friends.

Safety, trust & environment
We 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.
Home
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. I need vaccine records, rabies certificates, licenses, and will send you a questionnaire to fill out at your convenience.
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!

A warm family with fenced in yard
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. My husband, Joe, works from home and helps with the care of your pets. Our home is state inspected to meet boarding facility standards while offering a warm family environment for your furry friends. Being state inspected, we require health, vaccine, and licensing paperwork for all of our furry guests so that everyone remains safe. A bit about Katie: 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. Right now I’m a stay at home mom and animal caretaker. On the weekends I am a professional face painter while Joe handles the majority of animal care. A bit about Joe: Joe works for Penn State but is at home full time. He participates in all aspects of pet care as needed and may be the one you meet during drop off or pickup. He’s our cuddle coordinator and chief kibble distributor. 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

Katie is great. Super friendly and absolutely great with my dog. My dog is always excited to be dropped off for day care, I can't get her out of the truck fast enough most days. Would recommend!


Our dogs had a great time and were well cared for! Would book again!

Jessie was happy and healthy after spending the night at Katie's! Katie sent pictures and told us everything went great. Couldn't ask for more, Jessie can't wait to go back!

Katie was able to watch my dog last minute. She was super responsive during his stay with pictures and messages!
