Hi there! I’m Katie – a full time, experienced pet care provider based in Blue Ash. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Trial Daycare Required For all new dogs, I require a trial daycare instead of a quick meet and greet before boarding. A 10 to 15 minute introduction simply doesn’t give me enough information to ensure your dog will be safe, happy, and comfortable in my home. During a trial daycare, your dog gets several hours to settle in, meet the other dogs at their own pace, learn the routine, and experience the environment before an overnight stay. This also gives me the opportunity to evaluate your dog’s comfort level, play style, and how they adjust to a new setting. Just as importantly, it helps your dog become familiar with my home, making future boarding stays much less stressful. My goal is to provide the safest and most positive experience possible for every dog in my care, and requiring a trial daycare is the best way to set every dog up for success. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 I have an assistant/roommate who typically helps with drop-offs and pick ups. They’re part of the daily routine here and just as committed to keeping your dog happy and cared for! I’m 28 years old and have been doing this full-time for over three years. Caring for dogs isn’t just my job, it’s my calling. I live in a peaceful neighborhood with a fully fenced in backyard that’s spacious, secure, and perfect for running, playing, and lounging in the sun. I’ve created a safe, structured, and loving environment where every pup is treated like family. From the moment your dog walks through my door, they’ll be welcomed with warmth, patience, and lots of love. Whether it’s for a day or an extended stay, I do everything I can to make sure they feel right at home. I’ve built my life around caring for animals, and I truly believe it’s what I was meant to do. My days are filled with tail wags, tennis balls, belly rubs, and happy paws—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 🐾 What I Offer: • Boarding (overnight stays) • Daycare (generally 8 AM–6 PM) • Clean, crate-friendly environment • Structured playtime, nap time, and cuddle time • Fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play • Inside and outside cameras for added peace of mind • A calm, tidy home where pups are free to relax or play ⏰ Drop-Off & Pick-Up Info: PLEASE NOTE: NO PICK UPS OR DROP OFFS ON HOLIDAYS UNLESS ARRANGED BEFORE 11:00 AM. ANY PICK UPS AFTER THAT WILL NEED TO BE THE FOLLOWING DAY OR WILL RESULT IN AN ADDITIONAL FEE. I ALSO LIKE TO SPEND TIME WITH MY FAMILY ON HOLIDAYS, JUST AS YOU DO. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING! I kindly ask that drop-offs be no earlier than 7 AM, and pick-ups no later than 7 PM. I plan my day around my dogs’ needs, so please coordinate times with me in advance to ensure everything runs smoothly. 🚫 A Few Important Notes: To keep everyone safe and happy: • I cannot accommodate dogs that show signs of aggression • Dogs must be fully potty trained; if your dog has 3 or more accidents, I may ask for early pickup and a $40 cleaning fee will apply • All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, that’s why I take communication seriously. I’ll send updates, photos, and videos throughout your dog’s stay so you can see how much fun they’re having and feel confident they’re in good hands. While I’m home most of the day, there may be brief periods where I run an errand or have other obligations. During that time, your dog will be safely crated or separated as needed. Their safety and well being always come first. Whether your pup is high energy or more of a couch potato, I’ll make sure their individual needs are met with love, patience, and attention. If you have any questions at all, I’d be happy to chat! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! 🐶💛
