Fenced in yard, dogs to play with
Pet care experience
I have three dogs and have taken on other dogs to care for at the same time, so I am up to any challenge that your pet can throw my way! I grew up with Australian Shepherds and have Beagles now, so I have cared for dogs of a variety of sizes. I love dogs very much, and I love making sure they are cared for deeply and get everything they need. My three enjoy running around in the fenced in yard and have a great deal of time free to play together both inside and outside. I am very flexible to spend time with your pet on weekends and before and after work, but if needed, my husband can always help out in a pinch as well during the afternoon!
Reviews
Have been using Katie for over one year. Always reliable and take great care of my dog. Will continue to use her as long as she is available :)
Katie and Matt were amazing with Frankie. I felt very comfortable leaving him with them and he had a blast playing with their dogs for the weekend. Will definitely use them in the future!
They were so good with Leo. Made our pup feel at ease. Sent us updates about our dog while we were gone. Will be rebooking with Katie again very soon!
Sammy had a great time with Katy and her husband. They are my go to sitters when I need it

Safety, trust & environment
Any guest pet staying in our home will have our three dogs to play with, and a fenced-in yard in which to run out some energy.
Information Katie J. would like to know about your pet
Any dogs staying with me must be friendly towards other dogs; my girls are treated like family and it is very important to me to have a meet prior to confirming the booking to ensure all of the dogs get along. It is helpful to know if your pup has any notable quirks that we should be aware of before we watch them.
A typical day
We have room to run and three other dogs that love playtime! We try to take time to play with toys and make sure any guest dog is getting the attention they deserve. Most pups that we watch are good about taking signals from our girls, so if it's time to lay down and nap versus time to play, guests tend to follow the rest of the pack.

Availability
Though I do work a full-time day job and am not at the house 24/7, my husband works from home and is around for the times that I would not be there. My schedule tends to have me home mornings, afternoons, and weekends where I am totally free to spend time with your pup!
