Pets Need a Vacation too!
Hello and welcome to our Rover page! My name is Katie, and my husband Matt and I are a pet-loving family with two daughters, Autumn (11) and Keiley (8), who absolutely adore animals and are gentle, respectful, and experienced around dogs. I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life, and over the past 13 years of marriage, Matt and I raised two amazing dogs, Bella and Jack. They were truly our first babies and meant the world to us. After losing them due to age and health, we realized we’re not quite ready to start over with a new dog of our own. Instead, we’ve found so much joy in opening our home to care for other families’ dogs while they travel. This journey began during a time of transition for our family, and while it has helped us financially, the truth is—we do this because we genuinely love dogs. Every pup that comes into our home is treated like a member of the family, with plenty of love, attention, belly rubs, and cuddles. We don’t offer anything less than that. We provide everything your dog may need during their stay, including crates, dog gates, beds, bowls, and treats. Dogs enjoy outdoor time on a leash or lead (we do not have a fenced yard), as well as regular walks and playtime. Three days a week, either Matt or I are home full-time, ensuring your pup has plenty of companionship and minimal alone time. We currently host a maximum of two dogs at a time to ensure each one receives the attention they deserve. In the rare case of a double booking, we always communicate with both families beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. We also offer doggy daycare on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We’ve been lucky to meet so many wonderful families and pups, and we would love the opportunity to meet you and yours next. Please feel free to reach out—we can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home!

Ratings and reviews
Katie and her lovely family took great care of Maycee! They welcomed her as part of their family and I didn’t have to worry about Maycee while I was away. Katie shared some adorable pictures that made my day. Thank you!
Katie and her family took such wonderful care of Archie for us (again ☺️) while we were away! He got alot of TLC and was one pooped pup when we brought him home. I can’t recommend Katie and her family enough!!
Katie provided excellent care to our dog at her home and communicated well and easily with us both before and during his stay. We all had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend her as a sitter!
Katie did a wonderful job. We will be asking for her again in the future
Journey had a great time. She was exhausted when she got home after a quick 3 night stay with Katie, her family amd their pup, Seven. Katie sent photos and updates throughout the stay. Though our pup seemed to struggle with night time schedule/ adjustment, her family worked to make her as comfy as possible. Would highly recommend.
Katie was great.
