Specializing in safe attentive care

Pet care experience

I have been caring, boarding, training, grooming and occasionally breeding dogs for 30 years. I volunteer at my local shelter, working and training with emphasis on shy and fearful dogs. I stay current with dog behavior and training research. I am certified in CPR, Geriatric dogs, Difficult Dogs, and Hair and Skin, as I also groom dogs and cats here in my home salon. I have hosted over 200 dogs in my home. I consider myself an expert in dog body language and understand their special needs and peculiarities. I provide a quiet, safe, loving and chemical free environment for all dogs and provide beds, blankets, bowls, toys and even make custom coats and/or blankets/pillows for my doggy guests. I have a doggy camera that lets me keep in touch with their every movement. In my home I provide the latest in air conditioned/heated environment with large enriching, outdoor play and exercise areas for every dog.

My dog seemed happy and amused at Katie’s house. She had other little dogs there for my dog to make friends with. She looked like she had a good time and she was taken care of. I would recommend Katie.

Katie is fabulous! Our 3 pups love her, she is very accommodating to your schedule and she has a great setup at her house. I will definitely book with her again next time I’m in town!
