Friendly, flexible, and experienced

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover, pet owner, and animal rescue director who would love to help you out with your pet boarding and daycare needs! My yard is fully fenced with 6 foot tall wooden panels and gaps at the bottom are covered with lattice to ensure safety and security. I’m able to allow for slow intros, breaks/crate rotate as needed, and absolutely willing to take on animals with medical needs (such as insulin injections, daily medication, etc). But being dog/cat/kid friendly to a certain extent is needed for dogs because of my resident pets and kids. Cats are easier to manage so I’d be open to talking more about what your cat needs to be comfortable! My resident dogs have separation anxiety so someone is almost always home to care for the dogs and ensure everyone is having a good time. But they love having visitors and making new doggy (or cats!) friends! My cats are super chill and usually just avoid new animals. But they’re also used to the initial excitement of a new dog in the house and adjusting accordingly. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

The people seem nice, but my dog came back with an injury.

This is mochi's first sitting with Katie. She took great care of mochi. I am satisfied with her service and very much recommended her. Again thank you Katie

Katie and her family were wonderful! They were very flexible and friendly and kept me up to date on how Olive was doing. This was my first time using any type of boarding for my pets and it was a great experience! Olive came home happy and healthy ? I will definitely use Katie again in the future!

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know how your pet does with other animals and new people. Medical and behavioral needs are also high priority for me! I’m absolutely up for following whatever routine you’d like if your pet is on a strict routine. I’m also happy to help with training if you’re working in something new.

A typical day

We like to keep everyone physically and mentally entertained! This includes games of fetch in the back yard, playing chase, and participating in brain games indoors to combat boredom when the weather is bad.
