tail wagging fun!
Pet care experience
I grew up as the neighborhood sitter, whether pet, house, or child! I worked at a vet hospital for two years as kennel staff and feel very comfortable with all dogs and cats. I am very comfortable giving medication, specifically pill, and am willing to learn how to properly care for your pets health needs.
Reviews
Katie and John were wonderful! We appreciated the very timely updates letting us know our pup had settled in and frequent photos. We also appreciated how flexible they were, and knowledgeable when it came to helping our anxious pup settle in with theirs. Will definitely book with them again.
Katie and John do a great job taking care of our fur babies. Have 100% confidence in their care.
Katie and John do a great job taking care of our fur babies. Zero anxiety traveling now when the dogs stay behind.
She took great care of my girls. She updated me with pictures and was a great communicator. Would definitely recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment
While having your pet in our home there will be someone with them 24/7! We can kennel if the dog is comfortable/trained or put our dogs away if they need some alone time. We have a mostly fenced yard with tie out cables so your dog will be safe. Please send me a message with questions and concerns.
Home
Information Katie & John S. would like to know about your pet
It is really important that I know your dog’s triggers. Whether it is a place they do not like to go, something that scares them, or even where they do/don’t like to be pet! This helps me keep your pet and mine safe.
A typical day
My pups and I start with a walk every morning, a mile or so week days and longer on the weekends. There is time for rest, play, and enrichment until our afternoon/early evening walk. This walk is normally two miles, depending on weather. There is more time for rest before dinner and a potty break. There is usually a lot of play before bed!
