Room To Roam & Be Happy!

My name is Katie and I have a husband and two kiddos. Within the last few years, we lost our two dogs to old age. We currently have no pets in the house, just chickens, a goat and two pigs on the other side of the fence. I currently stay home with my little one and we would love to welcome your dog(s) into our home to care for, play with and keep us company. I volunteered at an animal shelter for a few years which gave me the opportunity to care for dogs of various breeds and demeanors. We live on 4 fenced-in acres on a dead-end road.

Katie was amazing! Very communicative. Emmitt loved her and we didn’t worry about a thing :)

We had an amazing experience with Katie (and her sweet kiddos/helpers) as our sitter. 😊 She was great with communication, super sweet, has an amazing yard, and we are hopeful that she liked our girl enough to agree to watch her again soon. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Katie. She is all you want if you want someone who is sweet and kind, and cares for your pet as if it were hers. My Ellie was at ease from the first meet, and she enjoyed her time with Katie to the fullest. Katie communicated with me every day with notes and pictures showing how content and playful Ellie was at Katie's home. I will sing her praises to anyone and everyone who needs a wonderful sitter for their fur baby.

Katie did a wonderful job with our 7 month Lab. We received pictures and a update daily. He came home tired from playing so much!! We definitely would love to have her watch him again!!!

Katie was awesome! She took great care of our dogs. Bo has a health issue & she was perfectly comfortable with it. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our "fur babies". Will definitely hire her again!

Schedule

I’m always home with my little one. Any trips outside of the home are fairly brief, so I can ensure your dog is always watched and cared for during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big fenced-in yard so your dog can roam freely. We also live on a dead end street and traffic is minimal. We have hard floors throughout our home so accidents are no biggie and easy to clean.

A typical day

Since I stay home with my kiddo, we’re always outside playing or working. Your dog will get plenty of exercise running around the yard, possibly barking at and chasing our animals on the other side of the fence.

Katie can host up to 1 pet per night
I would like to know if your dog has any food restrictions or allergies. If he/she is house broken or if they do better in a crate when left unattended. I especially would like to know their daily routines and demeanor. This allows me to provide a familiar and comfortable atmosphere for them when they stay with me!
