Home all day & ready to play!

We are a homeschooling family with 4 kiddos and 1 lazy pup! We live on 2 acres in a country setting and would love to help you out by watching your favorite furry friends! We’ll love on them and treat them like one of our own! We have had dogs in our lives for as long as we can remember and look forward to meeting you and yours. You can expect daily updates while you are away and you can rest assured that your pet is safe and cared for in a warm and loving environment. We only accept 1 dog at a time so you can be confident in knowing your pet will receive the utmost attention. Katie is home all day to homeschool our kids, so you can also be assured your dog will be active all day long!

Katie and family are great! Our small maltipoo had some separation anxiety and was a little hard on the family’s sleep. Katie worked it all out though and by the time we picked our pup up, he was completely happy there. Thank you!

Katie and her family kept Tank warm and happy during the crazy cold weather while we were on vacation! He walks in like he owns the place which means we don't worry about him a bit. Appreciate your excellent care.

Katie and her whole family are fantastic! They really treat Vasher as a member of their own family. We will definitely be using her services in the future!

Tank loves Katie and her family! He doesn't miss us at all which is ok :-)

Tank was comfortable at Katie's from the minute he stepped inside for our meet and greet! We could sense that he felt comfortable- he didn't even turn around to say goodbye. Great experience - we've already rebooked for another stay.
