We are a dog loving family!!
Pet care experience
Both my husband and I grew up with dogs. We knew we always wanted them with our own kids. We currently have a 2 year old Labradoodle. We trained him as a puppy and he has his advanced training certificate. We feel dogs truly are a “man’s best friend.” We love playing and going on daily walks with our dog, Mando. Our 4 kids have learned the same love for dogs. We watch our neighbors’ and friends’ dogs often, and have experience with multiple dogs in our home. Our Mando is very social and loves having other dogs around. We also have a fully fenced yard and live at the end of a could-a-sac where the dogs have plenty of space to play.
Reviews
Our dogs had an absolutely AMAZING time at Katie's house. Katie made sure to send lots of updates and was extremely accommodating to us and our pups!
I booked with Katie based her excellent reviews and unfortunately, didn’t have same experience as others. We were on vacation 11 days. I had some real concerns about how lethargic my dog was upon our return. Plus concern of paw infection he came home with. Visit to Vet confirmed he lost 15 lbs and has a paw fungus infection. Most likely from spending a lot of time in muddy yard conditions. Dr prescribed antibiotics, has him on feeding schedule to bring his weight up. Dr said possibly stress but hard to say exactly what caused extreme weight loss. Katie said he ate every meal. I think not enough rest time, or no boundaries with excessive play, resulting in exhaustion and stress. Harley is an inside Golden Retriever. Obviously dogs plays some outside. But I think he spent the majority outside while under Katie’s care. Appears a lot unsupervised… he licked his paws sores and she never even noticed infection. Broke my heart. Harley came home looking like a stray dog. Extremely thin, matted, filthy dirty. Katie did tell me the day we left her yard was muddy. Didn’t realize what problems it would cause, that he would remain dirty for long period. Or that he would have unnoticed sores. Not worthy of her 5 star rating. I have sad pictures of dog to support. Copies of current and prior Vet visits. (Prior)for Bordetella a couple days before we left showing prior weight.I hate having to give this review. But my honest feelings.
Finding Katie and her family is the best thing that has ever happened to me. It is so nice to know that my pups are being well cared for and loved while I’m out of town. She really is the best!
Katie was wonderful! Watson did great in her home and I felt safe knowing that he was safe! I fully recommend!

Information Katie G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My preference of dogs would be minimal shedding, but if your dog is well trained I’ll accept all breeds.
A typical day
We love going on daily walks. We have multiple walking trails near our home that are 1-5 miles each. Depending on what your dog likes to do, we’ll pick the path that fits them best. We also love running around and playing in our backyard.
