Pet care experience

Use code KATIEJ21067 and receive $20 off your first service when you book with us! 🙂 My experience with dogs began at a very young age. I raised my first puppy when I was only 5 years old. His name was Pepper, and he was an adorable and energetic Dalmatian (this was of obviously a result of me seeing 101 Dalmatians for the first time). Since Pepper, I have raised, trained, cared for, and rescued many more animals. Some of these were my personal family pets, and others were fosters, rescues, and other situations where I cared for the animal and found their forever homes. I’ve raised several litters of kittens after being abandoned my their mother. I even had a pet chicken that I nursed back to health after she was attacked by a coyote. As you may have guessed, growing up, my dad never knew what I was bringing home from one day to the next. Luckily for me, he is who I get my love for animals from, so he was always supportive in my desire to help animals in need. My experience also extends to large animals, and I grew up competitively showing horses. However, I sadly had to say goodbye earlier this year to by horse of 22 years, Governor. I currently have two dogs of my own. They are two Boston Terriers named Lando and Ella. They are the friendliest little babies, and they would be ecstatic to welcome some fur-friends for a sleepover! All-in-all, my experience is extensive. I have been raising and caring for pets for nearly my entire life, and There has never been a time where I did not share my home with a dog. It is my promise to you that I am 100% committed and capable to care for your fur-baby as if they were my very own.

Katie takes great care of Merri. Truly appreciate knowing that Merri is safely tucked in when I need to go visit customers. Merri know when we are getting close to Katie’s and runs to greet her.

Katie went above and beyond! She was happy to meet me before our weekend away to make sure my puppy Simba got along well with her pups. She updated me daily with photos and took him on multiple walks daily. Highly recommend and will 100% be a repeat customer! Thanks Katie!!!

Katie was great! My puppy is a handful but Katie had no complaints and seemed to handle her very well. Mochi came back to me clean, well behaved, courteously taken out before I arrived for pick up, and best of all, worn out from her time there. Pictures and updates throughout the day were very appreciated and I think Mochi had a great time. Katie was communicative and punctual and made boarding as easy as can be!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 3/2 house with a securely fenced back yard. My fiancé and I take our pups on one 45 min walk a day (weather permitted) and I am also open to meeting your requests for additional walks and exercise, if desired. As I mentioned earlier, I have two very friendly Boston Terriers who live with me. They love meeting new friends, and they would join the fun on walks and dog park visits. My two pups also LOVE cuddles with both people and other dogs. If your pup likes to play, there are a large selection of toys to enjoy.

Information Katie J. would like to know about your pet

Feeding schedule, allergies, habits (barking, chewing, potty inside, etc.), and medications. I also require your dog come with their crate to stay in at night or while I’m briefly away on errands. I’ve found bringing any comfort items belonging to your your pet during their stays (blankets, beds, toys, etc.) is helpful for their adjustment to a temporary new home.

A typical day

Wake up and start the day with a potty break abs breakfast. Open the back door so the pups can go explore the yard and stretch their legs/play. Depending on the weather, I take 1 45 minute walk a day with my pups. I enjoy running, so if your pup would like to get extra exercise, they can join me! The rest of the day is spent hanging out while I work with frequent potty and play breaks. Evening is spent cooking dinner, hanging on the couch, and cuddling. Dinner is fed every night at 7 pm. Close the days down with a final potty break and treat, and then the pups are put away in their crates for bed time.

Availability

I am a full-time working professional for the State of California. However, I work from home Monday and Friday, and I am off on weekends. My calendar reflects this and I do not have availability to sit on the days I’m in the office. Therefore, your fur-babies will be with me and my fur-babies 100% of the day when booked. I will be able to provide them walks and potty breaks, as well as cuddle them on the couch while I enjoy my favorite tv show. I live with my Fiancé, so he will also be there to give your pups love and help take care of their needs. He’s a proud dog-dad himself with many years of experience caring for pups of his own.
