Big fenced in backyard near a park

Pet care experience

Hello! Hair? Drool? Pee pee accidents? No problem! I am excited to welcome your dog into my home! I currently own a small Beagle who I have raised from a puppy. I have handled many different breeds of dogs including mini, small, large, and giant! Some of these breeds are: St. Bernard. Bernese Mountain Dog Scottish Terrier Pitbull Rat Terrier English Bulldog Boxer Lab German Shorthair Pointer German Shepherd Great Dane Beagle Golden Doodle I love ALL dogs! As a child my home was filled with shepherd mixes (rescues from the pound) giving me experience with energy, strength, and stubbornness. These dogs were solely my responsibility starting from about age 9 until I moved out for college. I am skilled with positive reinforcement and creative energy outlets. I took my shepherd mixes to training classes on my own (when I was 12-18, I am now 30 years old) and have become knowledgable about how to handle different types of what owners can consider "bad" behavior. My Beagle is smart and energetic which means we have a lot of creative play with long walks in the park. Whether your dog likes to sleep on the couch all day, or has an endless amount of energy, I can handle it! I own a large home with a large fenced in backyard which will give your dog freedom to rest and run. Your dog is welcome in all areas of my home including my couch for snuggling. I will love your dog as much as I love my own!

Katie was wonderful with our puppy. She was really patient with him since he can get anxious. Katie kept in contact with us all the time sending pictures and videos. Felt safe leaving our dog there and I can tell he enjoyed his stay. Highly recommend her and for sure we’ll be rebooking with her again.

We love using Katie! She is so good to my dog Harley. She is so flexible with my schedule, always keeping me updated, and works so hard to make her home welcoming to Harley. She is kind, reliable, quick to respond and I completely trust her with my dog.

Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have breed preferences. I love all dogs! I would like to know your dog's personal schedule and personality quirks that make your dog unique. I will follow your feeding/sleeping schedule for your dog. Staying in a new place can be stressful. It is my goal to eliminate as much stress as possible for your dog while staying in my home. Which means, lots of love and practicing your set schedules for your dog.

A typical day

We live next to Smith Park in Rexburg Idaho. We will go on a leashed walks around the park. We will also play fetch, tug of war, and do whatever tricks your dog might know, in the backyard. My yard is big and completely fenced in giving your dog the freedom for unleashed zoomies!
