Pet care experience

Love & attention for your fur baby!

IMPORTANT: I have four kids, a husband, a friendly dog, and a small cat that all live in my house. If your dog is not comfortable or safe around children, men, cats, or other dogs, I cannot board them. NOTE: Dogs that do best in our home are low to medium energy dogs who like to play but also know how to settle down and hang out with the family. I cannot accommodate high energy dogs. I have had pets of every kind since I was a child. Over the past couple of years, neighbors and friends have relied on me to care for their pets while they were out of town.

Katie is awesome. Toffee enjoyed her 1st stay with Katie. We appreciated the pictures sent after her arrival to show us that Toffee was settling ion and getting along well. Will not hesitate to use Katie again and you should not either

First time using Rover and it was a hit! Katie updated me daily on Mavericks stay and was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and use again!

So glad we used Katie again for drop-in visits with our dog and cat! Our dog especially loved all the extra attention — you could tell he was in great hands. Katie is reliable, and caring. We’ll definitely keep booking her!

So glad we found Katie! From the start, she was communicative and attentive. The care and attention she gave our pets was outstanding — we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in great hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and that says it all. Couldn’t be happier and will absolutely be booking again!

Just like the time before, Katie took excellent care of my doggie-daughter. I went on my first trip to Mexico and I wasn’t worried a bit, I was able to relax knowing my babygirl was in the loving, capable, and trustworthy care of Katie. I have only used her services since joining, and unless she is booked during my next trip, I will always reserve with her as my first choice.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Also let me know your dog’s diet and typical schedule. Dogs must be good with children, other dogs, and cats. I am happy to do a meet & greet beforehand to make sure our family is a good fit for your pup!
