Your pet is family! We get that!

Pet care experience

My son, Christian and I are a duo team that have worked and trained with animals. I've owned a farm, showed horses in Europe, was a stable master for Ringling Brothers, and an avid pet owner/lover. My son, now an adult has trained diligently by my side since childhood. We've handled all sorts of animal emergencies and can administer basic medical care for most animals. My experience is with all sized dogs and I am familiar with many breed characteristics. Any special needs besides canines, like felines, micro pigs, or other critters can be discussed. We will strive to meet all of your pet's needs. We are familiar with many breed characteristics, and always want to learn more about your pup's personality. We'll make treats upon your approval, play with toys, lots of exercise and snuggles...Whatever your pet needs to feel safe and happy until they see you again.

Katie and her son took great care of Tally. They had her for a week and she seemed so at home through their daily photos and updates! She was so happy and taken care of when we picked her up! I would definitely recommend Katie for your pup!

We have used Katie in two separate occasions for two different durations. We will be using her for all future trips.

We had a very nice experience with Katie and Christian. He’s a very professional and polite young man! Sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay. Will definitely book with them again.

Katie was great...quick response and super flexible. She also sent pictures of our pup while we were gone. Great service. We plan to use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

We never leave pets alone, and keep them on leash at all times when outside. For safety issues we do not mix your dog with other clients (human or animal) visiting our home. We use methods known as long line training for play so even the most hyper pet can run to their heart's content. Our favorite feature is our full length front porch. Our couch potatoes love lounging on our patio furniture in all seasons. Our more active guests love rolling a tennis ball back and forth the length of the porch or barking at the birds in the trees. Happy minds, efficient care and positive reinforcement makes it a pleasant experience for everyone!

Information Katie F. would like to know about your pet

Any dog will be welcome, but I still want to know all about your beloved pooch or feline. Leash trained? House trained? Crate trained? Get along with other animals or children? Scared of anything in particular? What can I do to make sure this is a great experience for you and your friend.

A typical day

No bored puppies here. Canines of all sorts can play with their toys, learn new tricks, go for walks in a yard that has been treated for fleas and ticks and mosquitoes. We'll howl to their favorite songs, bake their canine-friendly treats, and chase a few red dots on the carpet.
