Information Katie & Patrick W. would like to know about your pet

Any breed is welcome, I need to know they are up to date on vaccines, flea and tick control, if they are dog friendly or have any behavioral issues. We are happy to work with dogs who have some fears or reactivity. We just ask people be upfront so we can help make sure their pet gets the BEST experince possible!

A typical day

We LOVE high energy dogs! We play until everyone is exhausted from fetching, tug, wrestling and chase matches. We have larger play groups and everyone easily finds their buddy!

A pups very own vacation location

Pet care experience

AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT DOING MEET AND GREETS AND WE ARE NOT ALLOWING PEOPLE INTO OUR HOME. We are offering a free 4 hour eval day instead and doing all picking up/dropping off outside while maintaining as much social distancing as possible. I have 22 years of hands on experience training dogs. I have worked and managed 5 kennels and by far love the feel and relaxed nature of in home care where pets get more 1on1 time. Their vacation should be just as relaxing and stimulating as yours! I watch any size and breed as long as they are happy and social with dogs ranging 5lbs to 100lbs. We are picky about what dogs we allow to join our pack family. We typically have 15 dogs a day and most dogs find their best friend and clicks. We do have dogs that LOVE high energy ball play, chase, tug and others that perfer to lay in the sun and get cuddles. Having 2 acres of property their is plenty of room in our spacious yards for dogs to never feel crowded or overwhelmed. My fiance and I are truly dog lovers and that is what your pet gets with us here. Lots of love, attention and play time! We are here full time loving, playing and training dogs. I do NOT professional train dogs for clients anymore with my autoimmune disorder has progressed, BUT the pups in our program still get training everyday free of charge to fit into our house, home and basic household manners while they are with us. Dogs are part of our family and treated as such. Only puppies, not potty trained, destructive or aggressive (food) dogs are kenneled. We have large 5x5 stand up kennels of needed for such. Otherwise we spend most of our day rotating outside our large back yard and inside hanging out in our main living space snuggle on the couch or snoozing on a dog bed. Our backyard is at min. Double fenced before a dog would actually get to a main road. Most of our fencing is also buried underground. We also have security cameras throughout the entire inside and outside of our home. We have a large 4 ft high steel gate around our front door to prevent any bolting out doors as well as a time out zone. We can assure you that every dog that stays with us is cared for like our own! My full-time job is caring for the pups in our care. My fiance Pat is a web developer and works from home. Most of the seniors hang out with him in his office during the day. We treat all pups that stay with us like our own. We are very safety conscious with multiple safe cases to prevent any dogs from getting out with double fencing, under ground no dig fencing 1 foot deep and gates around our front door.

We left all 4 dogs with Katie and Patrick while we visited Weekie Wachee for the day. They sent updates and pictures. Our dogs were happy when we picked them up and thanks to them my hanky were able to enjoy the day with no worries while our girls had a blast with Katie and Patrick. Thank you!! Its 8pm and they are all knocked out.

This was the first time boarding Sapphire and was a little nervous because she likes to play a little rough, but Katie was amazing with her and Sapphire had the time of her life. Katie is amazing about sending pictures and videos and update updates about your family member that is there with her. I will definitely be using them again. I cannot see enough about Katie and Patrick and Sapphire is looking forward to her next visit.
