Your Dog’s New Favorite Place

Hi there! I’m Katie – a full-time, experienced pet care provider based in Blue Ash. 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! 🐶💛

Katie took great care of my dogs over a holiday weekend. From initial communication to final pickup, she was very communicative and handled any issues effectively. Katie really cares for the dogs and you know your dogs are in good hands for the duration of their stay with her.

We had such a wonderful experience with Katie! This was our first time using Roger & Katie was absolutely amazing with Bodhi during his 4 night stay. She kept us updated, made him feel comfortable and cared for - we could tell from all the photos how at ease he was. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands — we will be rebooking with Katie in the future and can’t recommend her enough!

Katie and her assistant are excellent dog sitters. They understand my young dog's high energy and chewing tendencies and give him plenty of play time. Very clean and well maintained yard. My dog comes home happy and healthy and seems to enjoy his "vacations" as much as we do. Highly recommend!

Our dog Laguna had a great day at Katie's place playing in the large yard, with plenty of toys, and other dog friends. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and their care. We will be going back.

Katie carried for our senior dog for 8 days. We had lots of updates, and our pup came home so happy.

Pets

A typical day

🐾 1. Pool Playtime Let the pups splash around in a kiddie or dog-safe pool. Great for cooling off, burning energy, and building confidence in water! 🎾 2. Fetch Sessions Classic and always a hit! Whether it’s a tennis ball, squeaky toy, or frisbee, fetch helps release energy and keep them active. 🧠 3. Treat Puzzles & Snuffle Mats Use food-dispensing toys or snuffle mats to challenge their brains and slow down eating. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical!

Please note: If your dog is extremely anxious or struggles to settle in new environments, my setup may not be the best fit. I want every pup to feel safe and comfortable, and overly anxious dogs often need a quieter, more specialized environment than I can provide. Thank you for understanding! 🐾
