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.

Taking a break from sitting

Pet care experience

After nearly nine wonderful years caring for pets through Rover, I’ve had to make the difficult decision to step away from accepting new bookings for the foreseeable future due to changing family schedules. What began as a small opportunity turned into years of wagging tails, sweet personalities, and families who trusted me with some very special members of their homes. I am deeply grateful for every client who allowed me to care for their pets and welcomed me into their routines over the years. This decision was not an easy one, but the time has come for me to focus on other responsibilities in this season of life. For anyone visiting my profile in the future, please know how thankful I am for the support and trust I’ve received throughout these years. While I can’t promise when or if I may reopen availability, I will always be grateful for the wonderful pets and people I met along the way. Thank you for being part of such a meaningful chapter, and a part of my heart.

Excellent experience! Katie and Christian are amazing. Buttercup was so loved while she was there. The communication was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect. We will definitely have our pup stay there.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
