Pet care experience

Never have a ruff day

I truly love being around dogs and you can never have a bad day when you are in the company of one. The simple joy and excitement they get from just hearing the word walk,throwing a ball, or just taking a mid-afternoon nap all your pups desires will be met. Every animal is different and i have a flexible schedule allowing multiple walks or more relaxed one on one time if they prefer. I promise to never take on more dogs to were i am not able to give enough attention to every animal. I want every dog to feel like they are at home and make they're stay easier while their owner is away. Also I love taking photos of animals so be prepared lots of cute updates. I have a dog of my own that is my heart and I know just how hard it is to leave them behind. Anything I can do to make you time away better for everyone I will be happy to do

Boarding • Juli 01, 2026

I cannot recommend Katie enough! This was our sweet Lab puppy Yuma’s very first overnight stay away from home, and she made the entire experience absolutely wonderful. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in caring, capable hands. Katie kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Yuma was getting lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles—not just being watched, but truly cared for like one of her own. The biggest bonus? Her dog, Louie, and Yuma became instant best friends! It was so much fun seeing them play together, and we’re pretty sure Louie is now Yuma’s BFF. Knowing he had a buddy to romp around with made his first overnight stay even more special. When we picked Yuma up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had an amazing time. As pet parents, that’s all we could ask for. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely loves animals, Katie is the one. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Katie, for taking such incredible care of Yuma and giving him a first overnight experience we’ll always feel great about!🐦‍⬛

Doggy Day Care • Juni 08, 2026

Katie did an excellent job providing doggy daycare services for Maximus. She is a great communicator, very responsive, and kept me comfortable throughout the process. It is clear that she is truly passionate about dogs and genuinely loves caring for them. Her dog Louie is also very sweet, which made the experience even better. Katie has a beautiful fenced backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and enjoy themselves safely. I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and dog-loving to watch their pup.

I am so relieved to have met and teamed with Katie - it’s so difficult to find a reliable, qualified caregiver - Katie is definitely a jewel. She readily picked up on my dog’s personality and quirks and handled her as uf she’d known her forever. Katie’s updates helped relieve my concerns about leaving for a much needed vacay - I hope to definitely books additional stays!

Schedule

My dog is my life and I am so lucky to have him. We go for walks everyday, or I at least chase him around my backyard throughout my work day. I work from home 80% of the time making my schedule very flexible and attentive to animal care.
