Availability

I have a large fenced backyard where dogs have plenty of opportunities for supervised playtime. I will almost always have dogs from different families staying here so its important your pets are friendly with other dogs and well socialized. I do slow introductions with new dogs to make sure they are comfortable joining the rest of the pack. Please note during holidays I may have a high volume of dogs booked. Small or timid dogs are able to have their own space if desired.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my top priority so any dog showing aggression will be separated. Dogs will be fed separately for safety. All dogs will be crated when I'm not home. I do not accept dogs that howl or cry in their crates. Im unable to host dogs with anxiety issues unless under control with medication. Males over 1 year old must be fixed. Please have your dogs Rover profile filled out and up to date with care instructions and vet info. Please note, we do not host meet and greets in our home. Since we spend many hours of the day outside playing, your dog may get dirty. Baths are available before your dog is picked up for an additional $30 for small breeds 20lbs or less and $45 for 20lbs to 55lbs(cash or Zelle only) No XL breed baths available. Drop off/ pick up by appointment only, based on availability, Sunday through Saturday 8:00am to 8:00pm. Anything past 8:00pm will need to be adjusted to the next day and incur an extra night's fee.

Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet

The more details, the better! I would like to know your dogs daily routine, including sleeping and bathroom schedule. Let me know about your dogs temperament and energy level. I only accept dogs that are house broken, neutered, and comfortable/friendly around other dogs. They must be up to date with all shots, including Distemper, Parvo, Rabies, and Bordetella. If your dog has medication needs, please bring an instruction sheet. Please note if your dog has any of the following: separation anxiety, excessive barking issues, food aggression, health issues, chewing habits, triggers, or fear of strangers. Bring enough food for the entire stay, measured out in ziplocks for each meal labeled with your pups name.

A typical day

What to bring: -Enough food for stay, measured out in zip lock bags (no large food containers or big bags of dog food) -Medication What not to bring: -No dog beds -No toys/ stuffed animals -No bowls Dogs tend to get possessive over belongings in this kind of setting. I have toys/balls/blankets. ONLY bring your dog on a leash and food/meds, nothing else. Drop off instructions: Upon arrival, text me and I will come out to grab your pet and their food. I generally do not let clients in the house when i have other boarders. DO NOT KNOCK as this will excite all the dogs inside. Send your ETA when you are leaving your house. We will have a scheduled drop off time. If you are late or early i may not be able to answer due to other Rover appointments. Please do not show up unannounced. Do not show up early for your appointment and you must let me know at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled arrival if you will be late.

Pet care experience

Hey there! I am a life-long dog lover with extensive high-volume dog boarding experience. While a pet is in my care, I strive to make sure they are comfortable, happy, and safe. I'm an active person who loves to be outside with my visitors playing fetch! One of the most rewarding things about being a Rover sitter is all the time spent lounging with cuddly pups! I've previously volunteered with The Seattle Pug Rescue and Washington Alaskan Malamute Adoption League fostering and walking dogs. I am committed to giving your dog the attention and care he or she needs. I am looking forward to meeting your furry family member! *New Clients only* $20 off your first booking with any sitter! Use code KATIE LYNN 20 (without spaces)

Katie was wonderful! She took my two little dogs at the last minute when I needed to go babysit my grandson. The girls loved it there and came home happy!
