How many treats is too many?!

I am a WFH doggie mom that will love on your pup like I do my own. My little is a playful puggle rescue that loves other dogs and doesn’t mind sharing his toy bin. You will find toys all over the place in my apartment usually stashed in between couch cushions or buried in the sheets of my bed. While my little loves to play, he loves to relax, even more so really high, high energy dogs are not a good fit anymore :( My little guy gets anxiety when he’s in a new environment, so I am very sensitive to other dogs with similar challenges and I will dote on them even more. Animals have always been apart of my life. Growing up my family had rabbits, birds, turtles, mice, cats, and various breeds of dogs (my mother IS Dr Dolittle) so I'm pretty comfortable around different personalities and breeds. We’ve always treated our pets like our favorite member of the family and we would even tuck our dogs in when I was little … I miiiight still do that 🫣

Katie took such good care of our senior boy including emotionally supporting him through a scary thunderstorm. She was so flexible when our flight was delayed and we are so appreciative!

Katie once again took great care of my dog while I was away for a week. She sent lots of pictures and videos. My dog loves spending time with Katie. I’ll definitely board my dog with her in the future.

Katie was an amazing sitter for Bert! I felt so comfortable leaving him in her care. We met before the booking to ensure our dogs would get along. They are both older gents and got along well. She sent lots of pics and follow ups on how Bert was doing. Bert made himself right at home in one of her many dog beds in front of window overlooking the park. I’ve already booked another stay with Katie!

Frankie had a great time with Katie and Henry as always! Lots of snuggles and soft beds to rest on for our senior guy.

Katie was wonderful with Grady. He had such a great time. I got plenty of updates and it was clear he was getting all sorts of attention. I felt safe entrusting my fur baby with her!

Safety, trust & environment

Growing up i had large dogs that would steal food off the counters and little dogs that would eat silly things on the ground, now I assume all dogs do those things and I’ve dog proofed my apartment .

I am very comfortable with dogs, just like people they have their own preferences and triggers . My little guy has anxiety with new people and is terrified of quick movements. Just let me know if yours has any anxiety, triggers, or is food aggressive. It’s not a problem , I can make adjustments to ensure it’s a good experience for them and me :)
